3 bed bungalow for sale

Cleave Close, Sticklepath, Barnstaple EX31

Occupying a private position below road level, and arranged to take full advantage of its panoramic outlook across the River Taw and surrounding countryside, this impressive detached residence offers well-balanced, light-filled accommodation suited equally to family living, retirement or as a second home.

The setting is a particular feature, with most of the principal rooms enjoying an open aspect across the water and the wider estuary landscape – a view that changes beautifully with the seasons and light.

The accommodation begins with an Entrance Porch leading through to a generous open-plan Kitchen / Dining Room, forming the heart of the home. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of oak-fronted units complemented by slate work surfaces and a selection of integrated appliances, including double ovens, induction / halogen hob and dishwasher. A breakfast bar provides informal seating, while the dining area comfortably accommodates a large table and benefits from a dual aspect. Underfloor heating runs beneath the tiled floor in the kitchen area, creating a practical yet comfortable environment.

A separate Utility Room, accessed from the kitchen, provides additional storage and space for white goods.

The Sitting Room is positioned to make the very most of the outlook, with a full-width picture window framing the river views and French doors opening onto a sun terrace. A bright and inviting reception space, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

An Inner Hallway leads to 3 double Bedrooms and the Shower Room. The principal bedroom benefits from direct access to the terrace, fitted wardrobes and a modern En-suite Shower Room with underfloor heating. Bedroom 2 enjoys the same striking river views and incorporates built-in storage and a desk area, while bedroom 3 overlooks the front elevation. The shower room is fitted with a white suite.

The property is approached via a private driveway providing parking for several vehicles, in addition to a Single Garage with power and lighting.

The rear gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped and arranged over a series of terraces, creating distinct areas for seating and recreation. A raised sun terrace adjoins the house and provides an ideal vantage point from which to enjoy the river outlook, with steps leading down to lawned sections bordered by established planting.

Beneath the property and terrace are useful storage areas, together with an additional garden store / workshop with power and light.

Properties in this established and highly regarded setting rarely become available. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the position and outlook on offer.
