SITUATION
Goose Green is in a very special location. Along with a number of other individual homes it is situated in the grounds of Bydown House, a former country mansion. The bungalow is set down a shared driveway and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. This favoured and very peaceful hamlet is tucked away, but just one mile to the popular village of Swimbridge, which offers a church, Post Office, primary school (OFSTED Outstanding), public house and village hall. The larger village of Landkey lies about 2.5 miles away and offers more extensive amenities as well as access to the North Devon Link Road, which leads through to Junction 27 of the M5 and on to the national motorway network. Barnstaple railhead provides a link to the mainline railway system. Barnstaple itself, is located on the banks of the Rivers Taw and Yeo and being North Devon's regional centre, houses the area's main business, commercial, leisure and shopping venues.
LEISURE INTERESTS
Exmoor and North Devon's famous coastline, offering excellent safe, sandy, surfing beaches are all easily accessible. In the surrounding area. There is ample opportunity for country pursuits, including walking, cycling, riding and shooting, as well as a number of golf courses.
THE PROPERTY
Goose Green is a traditionally constructed, extended bungalow. It has been much updated and improved by the current owner. The property was re-wired about 12 years ago and around 5 years ago a new shower room and separate WC were installed. A loft room accessed by a pull down ladder could provide a further hobby room or office and has potential to have staircase installed, subject to any necessary consents. The property has timber floors throughout.
ECO FEATURES
This eco friendly home benefits from solar panels providing hot water and also from photovoltaic (PV) panels, which generate electricity for use in the bungalow and provide a small income from the feed-in tariff. The property boasts cavity wall insulation, loft insulation, uPVC double glazed windows and has a back up electric boiler operating on cheaper rate Economy 10 electricity for days when the sun isn't generating electricity or providing hot water through the roof panels. There is radiator central heating to most rooms as well as some night storage heaters and a multi fuel stove in the sitting room. Goose Green thus offers an economic, flexible and greener way of living, whilst ensuring the property is cosy and comfortable.
