Goodleigh Road, Barnstaple, Devon EX32

Presented to the market for the first time since its construction in the 1970s, Merrick is a well-proportioned 3 Bedroom detached bungalow occupying an elevated and highly sought after position on the outskirts of Barnstaple. Set within a generous plot and enjoying far-reaching countryside views, the property offers a rare opportunity to modernise and create a superb long-term family home.

The accommodation is arranged over a single level and briefly comprises a welcoming Entrance Hall leading to a particularly spacious Principal Bedroom, featuring a front aspect bay window with delightful views across the garden and surrounding fields, as well as built-in wardrobes. Two further double Bedrooms are well-proportioned, with the second also benefiting from built-in storage. A Shower Room is fitted with a walk-in shower, low-level WC and wash hand basin.

The Living Room is a bright and inviting space, ideal for both relaxing and entertaining, with an attractive open fireplace with chimneybreast currently housing an electric fire and providing a central focal point. A Conservatory extends from the living space, offering a pleasant outlook over the garden and direct access outside.

The Kitchen / Diner is generously sized and fitted with a range of units, work surfaces and space for appliances, with ample room for a dining table. Large windows allow for plenty of natural light, enhancing the sense of space. A separate Utility Room provides additional storage, space for white goods and convenient access to the rear garden.

Externally, the property is set within mature and well-established gardens to both the front and rear. The front garden is attractively arranged with a variety of hedging, trees and tiered sections, complemented by wooden pergolas which create a charming approach, while also enjoying attractive open views across the surrounding countryside.

The rear garden enjoys a high degree of privacy and an elevated position, maximising the far-reaching views. It features a paved patio area ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, with pathways leading to a workshop situated behind the garage. There is also access to the driveway and a well-proportioned Single Garage offering excellent storage or off-road parking.
