Description
Perched on an elevated site with sweeping views over village rooftops and rolling countryside, this property in Bickington offers the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience. Manor View is a charming detached residence that combines classic character with modern amenities. Built in the mid-to-late 1960s, this home has been tastefully remodelled and extended, offering bright and spacious accommodation with plenty of potential for further development, subject to planning permission. The exterior boasts a mix of coloured stone and painted render, with double-glazed windows and plantation-style shutters adding to its appeal. The house is set within well-maintained, partly walled gardens that include a detached garage, which could be converted into an annexe or studio (subject to planning). Additionally, there is a craft/hobbies room or office, making this property versatile and ready to adapt to your needs.
As you enter, a welcoming porch leads into a spacious entrance hall with oak-effect Karndean flooring and ample storage options, including built-in cupboards and drawers beneath the staircase. The double-aspect sitting room, featuring a cozy wood burner, is perfect for relaxation. The kitchen/dining room is divided into two distinct areas, with French doors opening onto the rear courtyard. This triple-aspect space is filled with natural light and features contemporary white kitchen units, Corian countertops, and top-of-the-line Miele appliances. The utility room, complete with additional storage and plumbing for a washing machine, provides convenient access to the outside.
The first floor hosts three generously sized bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes and lovely views. The master bedroom and bedroom two both offer ample storage and fine views, while bedroom four doubles as a dressing room with mirrored wardrobes. The family bath/shower room is stylishly finished with tiled walls, a panelled bath, and a separate shower cubicle. Outside, the property is accessed via a gated tarmac driveway that leads to the detached garage, which is equipped with an electric roller door, work surfaces, and a storage loft. The gardens are beautifully landscaped with lawns, mature magnolia trees, raised vegetable beds, and a sun terrace that could accommodate a conservatory extension (subject to permissions). Additional features include a log store, greenhouse, craft/hobbies room, and a timber garden shed, making the outdoor space as functional as it is attractive.
The village itself provides an excellent range of amenities, including shops and regular bus services. Just two miles to the east, you‘ll find Barnstaple, the regional hub for business, shopping, and leisure. The nearby Roundswell Retail Park, featuring Sainsbury‘s, Lidl, and Aldi, is only a mile away. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the proximity to the Tarka Trail at Fremington Quay, a gateway to Devon‘s scenic coast-to-coast cycling and walking route.
