"Situated in a quintessential north Devon village, this very attractive 3 bedroom house requires some updating and improvement but offers huge potential for this to become a most comfortable home. The house stands proudly to the centre of the village with good off road parking, double garage and a delightful SECRET GARDEN with open country views. Double glazing and oil central heating.

This is an amazing opportunity to acquire this almost iconic house which is situated in the very sought after village of Heanton Punchardon. The house stands in a commanding central position looking down through the road with views towards Braunton Burrows and on to Lundy Island in the distance. As it s name suggests, this unmistakable red brick house has shuttered windows and is very pleasing to the eye. The house offers NO ONWARD CHAIN, so it can be purchased very quickly. without any delays.

Red Brick House offers delightful accommodation which, although is very livable, requires improvement and up grading. However, there is plenty of scope and potential to extend the property into the very large garage which is attached to the side. This will provide further living space to the house but will still allow for a good size garage. We recommend a viewing to fully appreciate the character and potential of this charming house.

The rooms flow nicely with a good size entrance hall. The living room is over 7meters long and has a living flame gas fire set in red brick chimney. There is a window seat and the room opens to the conservatory, to the rear, which overlooks the patio garden. There is a good size dining room which also has a window seat and attractive feature fireplace. From here you go into the kitchen which has a tiled floor, door to the rear patio garden and which opens to a utility area and useful cloakroom. To the first floor there are 3 good size bedrooms which have lovely open aspects to Lundy in the distance. There is a large bathroom and separate WC which require updating. Furthermore, there is a very useful study which could make for an occasional 4th bedroom.

There is an attractive front garden with low wall and is laid to pea gravel for convenience. There are some flowers, shrubs and gate to the front and double side gates.The rear patio garden has flower beds and shrubs which provide privacy. There is access to the garage and rear garden gate. This leads to the rear lane. Oppose the house is a delightful SECRET GARDEN. This is a super private area with a green house, trees, shrubs and flowers. A crazy paved path winds through the lawn to a patio. From here there are beautiful views over open countryside and on the Braunton.
