The impressive and modern exterior of the house, with its white rendering, is perfectly complimented by ThermoWood cladding and contrasting slate window sills complete the contemporary look of this environmentally conscious property which boasts high levels of insulation and PV solar panels equipped with "Nest Smart" controls, ensuring low heating and running costs.
Dyers Lookout boasts high-end fixtures and fittings throughout, such as American white oak flooring in the principal reception rooms and in the staircases, quality tiled bathrooms, and a well equipped Kitchen with quality units, granite worktops and integrated appliances. The entire property exudes a feeling of quality, light, and airiness, making it ideal for families or those looking for dual occupancy.
As one enters the grand reception hall, with its double-height ceilings, full height windows and galleried landing above, the unique nature of this home becomes immediately apparent. The accommodation is cleverly divided into two directions, with large double doors to the left leading to an impressive dining room that offers stunning estuary views through its french windows. This room, in turn, leads to both the kitchen/breakfast room and the lounge.
The kitchen/breakfast room offers estuary views and features French doors which lead onto a charming outside patio & seating area. The triple aspect lounge is equally impressive, with large bi-fold doors enjoying estuary views and leading onto an adjoining timber decked balcony. For the winter months, an attractive inset Stovax wood-burning stove provides a central focal point.
To the right of the reception hall is the well appointed bedroom 5/study, a useful utility room, and a shower room. The configuration of the accommodation here would lend itself to create a granny annexe or space for independent children.
The galleried landing provides access to the 3 principle double bedrooms, two with en-suites, and a well-appointed family bathroom. The dual aspect master bedroom enjoys estuary views with its floor-to-ceiling windows.
Located off a half landing is the 4th double bedroom, which serves as an ideal guest room, with a large and well-appointed en-suite bathroom.
A staircase to the second floor provides access to bedroom 6 , which is currently used as a home office/hobbies room.
The sweeping "in and out" driveway at the front of the property features two pairs of entrance gates and a large lawned garden with a central 250-year-old London Plane tree, numerous attractive flowers & shrub borders, bushes & specimen trees, a productive vegetable garden, and a further patio seating area adjoining the kitchen, perfect for BBQs.
A detached two-storey double garage with two up & over doors, power, light and electric car charging point, has the benefit of a loft room over which is accessed via an external staircase and is considered to offer the potential to convert to additional accommodation.
The house also boasts a spacious paved seating area that benefits from a sunny south-facing aspect, an area of formal lawn, a large paved patio with a purpose-built summerhouse with an adjoining shed, providing an ideal area to enjoy the afternoon sun. A gate provides direct access to the Southwest Coastal path.
Northam is a small village, lying north of Bideford and south of Westward Ho! There are many country walks around the village and the outlying areas, including the popular Northam Burrows, Appledore Quay and the nearby Westward Ho! Beach.
Local amenities include a supermarket with post office, newsagents and take-aways. There’s also a primary school, a health & dental centre and a number of churches in the area. Northam also has a decent public swimming pool and gym too. You’ll never be short of places to eat and drink with Appledore, Westward Ho! and Abbotsham on your doorstep with their cornucopia of restaurants and pubs. Being a coastal village, seafood is high on the menu, fresh from the morning’s catch, so be sure to patronise your local fishmonger, if that’s your thing. Golf enthusiasts will also have cause to celebrate because there’s a great championship course on the outskirts of Westward Ho! Westward Ho! is also very popular with surfers and body boarders, with many places to get lessons and hire kit for the beginner.
It’s within short driving distance of the Atlantic Highway (A39) that is the main feeder route across the region leading to Wadebridge in Cornwall to the south-west and to the M5 by Tiverton in the east. A bus service provides access to North Devon’s ‘capital’, Barnstaple. Bus users can also reach Westward Ho!, Bideford, Braunton, Appledore, Croyde and Ilfracombe.
Northam’s local area is teeming with activity whether community groups are your thing or you prefer the outdoor life, there’s something to occupy just about everybody all year around.
