"Surrounded by gorgeous north Devon countryside yet close to Georgeham village and pubs, the coast and the wide amenities at Braunton stands this very good size family home. The flexible accommodation is in excellent order and benefits Double Glazing & Air Source Heating. Arranged as a 3 bedroom house with a 2 bedroom annex this is ideal for dual family or for income potential. Superb gardens and excellent parking and large detached garage & workshop. This is a rare opportunity.

We are delighted to bring to the market this quite superb detached property which offers a tremendous amount of space and is located in a quiet rural location, surrounded by beautiful countryside and light woodland. The present owners are now downsizing but during their years of ownership, have improved, extended and maintained the house to a very high standard.

This is not a Devon Longhouse but, as its name suggests, it IS a long house which offers exceptional and very flexible accommodation. The house benefits oak double glazed windows and air source heating which features underfloor heating in the spacious hall and into the large kitchen dining room. With the attractive tiled floors, this generates a lovely, warming welcome home on a wet evening. The house offers many features and, as the majority of rooms are double aspect, light floods into the house making it very light and airy.

The house is in two parts; the main house with 3 bedrooms; and the annex where there are 2 bedrooms. The main entrance porch opens to the hall which has a useful cloakroom. The sitting room is most comfortable with lovely wood flooring and a wood burner focal point. If you re looking for a large kitchen with a dining area, this will fit the bill! Offering over 7meters of space with tiled, underheated floor this has been well fitted with hardwearing bamboo work tops and a heavy central ceiling beam. A deep recess can accommodated a wide range with glazed tiled splash backing and filter fan over. Steps lead down to the lobby and utility room and access to the annex sitting room. This, too is a comfortable room, again with a wood burner to one corner of the room.

The 1st bedroom to the main house has his n her wardrobes and a well appointed en suite shower room. There are 2 further bedrooms and a lovely family bathroom with wood panelled bath and vertical radiator and towel rail. The annex main bedroom also has an ensuite bathroom and a further bathroom and bedroom. The annex is ideal for a dependant relative or to let and accrue a good income stream. However, the whole house could just as easily be used as a single home as the annex landing hall connects main house bedroom 2.

This is a wonderful property which will make for a really splendid home in which to bring up a family for years to come. It offers plenty of space where older children can find their own area in one part of the house and the adults can enjoy the peace and tranquility in the opposite end. We highly recommend a full viewing in order to appreciate what the property has to offer.

To the rear of the garden is attractive stone retaining walls and this provides an elevated, further area to sit and enjoy the open view whist sipping a glass of wine.
