The inviting entrance hall seamlessly connects the ground floor accommodation and provides stairs to the first floor along with useful understairs storage. The hallways opens to the kitchen at the rear of the home, overlooking the garden, along with the generous dual aspect lounge/diner/family room with large windows flooding the home with natural light. The kitchen is fitted with a range of work-surfaces comprising a composite sink and drainer unit with drawers and cupboards below and matching wall-units over, a built-in oven and hob with extractor over, space for a fridge/freezer, space and plumbing for a dishwasher and a useful utility/boot room off with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and a door to outside. The lounge/diner offers tremendous flexibility and enjoys a wood-burning stove - adding a cosy focal point ideal for family movie nights - whilst the dining area offers a 'home-bar' - creating a space that feels made for entertaining - along with double doors opening to the glorious South-facing garden, allowing for a wonderful transition from inside to outside in the summer months. In addition, there is a useful ground floor cloakroom fitted with a low-level W.C and wash basin. 

Stairs to the first floor rise to a generous landing, connecting 3 bedrooms and the family bathroom, and providing useful storage. The main bedroom is found at the front of the home and enjoys far-reaching views over Bideford, whilst the two further bedrooms are perfect for children, guests and home-working, and enjoy an outlook over the garden. The family bathroom is also found at the front of the home, providing a practical three-piece suite comprising a bath with shower over, a low-level W.C, wash basin and a heated towel rail. But there's more... 

Heading upstairs again with a spiral staircase, the converted loft room is an adaptable space providing tremendous flexibility. With a good ceiling height, natural light and an outlook across Bideford towards the new bridge, this room is currently used as a forth bedroom - lending itself to an excellent teenager's retreat - this space could equally be utilised as a home office, media room or hobby space away from the rest of the home.

In all, this is a home that works brilliantly for a young family, provides space for teenagers, offers room for guests and can accommodate working from home - all while being in a location that makes everyday life wonderfully convenient.
