Welcome to this spacious, bright, and airy detached family home, ideally situated in a tucked-away, elevated, and sunny location. This outstanding property boasts far-reaching views over the picturesque countryside and down the valley, across the charming village to the golden sand beach, and further afield to Woolacombe Bay, Baggy and Hartland Points, and even Lundy Island. This home offers an amazing vantage point for spectacular sunsets throughout the year.

The much-improved and extended accommodation spans two floors, beginning with a welcoming entrance porch and a spacious hallway. Here, you'll find stairs to the first floor and useful storage under, perfect for everyday essentials such as the vacuum cleaner and ironing board.

At the heart of the home is a 26-foot-long kitchen/family room that stretches from front to back. A full-width picture window perfectly frames the fabulous coastal vista from the dining area, while at the rear, the kitchen overlooks a colorful garden. The kitchen features an extensive range of fitted base and wall units, complemented by a range of integrated appliances, including a 5-ring gas hob with extractor over, a double oven, two fridges, and a dishwasher. A breakfast bar offers a great place to pull up a stool for morning coffee.

Across the rear lobby is a separate utility room with space for freezers and a washing machine, there is a sink too. There is also direct access to the integral garage from the rear lobby and a door to the rear garden.

Back across the main entrance hall, a spacious 26ft x 14ft lounge awaits, featuring a stone-built fireplace. Full-height glazing and sliding double doors open into a delightful sun lounge/conservatory, which basks in plenty of daylight and showcases the fabulous views over the green countryside of the valley and out over the village, the bay, coastline, and Lundy Island. Direct access to the front sun terrace within the garden provides a seamless blend between indoor and outdoor living.

Additionally, on the ground floor, there is a generous-sized bedroom as well as a cloakroom/WC.

Moving to the first floor, there are two further bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom 1 is particularly spacious, light, and airy, with a huge glazed dormer window that provides stunning countryside and coastal views. This bedroom has its own modern en-suite shower room, a built-in wardrobe, and a further small, quirky room/walk-in store, as well as access to further useful eaves storage. On the landing, there is a handy storage cupboard that also houses the gas-fired boiler for central heating and hot water.

Bedroom 2 is also very spacious, with a similarly large dormer window offering fabulous views. It includes a built-in wardrobe and a large walk-in eaves store. The family bathroom features a modern white suite, and across the landing is a separate toilet.

Outside, the front tarmaced drive provides off-road parking for 2-3 vehicles. The large integral garage, with an electric door, light, and power, interconnects with the main accommodation via a personnel door into the home’s rear lobby. The front sun terrace is directly accessible from the sun lounge/conservatory, making it a great place for al fresco dining, barbecues, and sunbathing while soaking up the splendid views.

The private rear garden is mature and well-stocked, featuring a large lawn interspersed with flowering trees, shrubs, bushes, and plants. A low-maintenance gravelled area with a greenhouse adds to the garden's appeal. It is children and pet-friendly, backing onto open fields at the rear, with views to the sea and coast from some areas of the garden.

This property truly combines the best of both indoor and outdoor living with its breathtaking views, spacious accommodations, and beautiful garden.

Woolacombe sits on the rugged North Devon coast and amidst the surrounding National Trust land, and is an extremely popular and well known village throughout the UK primarily due to its stunning golden sand beach. Many visitors flock to the area throughout the year but especially through the summer months. The village has an array of facilities which include small independent shops, a selection of cafes, bars and restaurants to suit all pockets and tastes, a medical centre, pharmacy and a primary school which has an 'outstanding' rating from Ofsted. As well as the 2½ miles of golden sand that stretch across to Putsborough, there are Barricane and Combesgate beaches which have rock pools to explore and the former having a beachside kiosk selling delicious Sri Lankan curries through the summer season. There is also Grunta beach which is a smaller and quieter private cove. The surrounding National Trust land and the South West Coastal Footpath provides miles and miles of walking to enjoy some of the finest coastal scenery on offer. There are a variety of leisure facilities and excellent nearby golf courses with the best known being the two links courses at Saunton, one of which is at championship standard. The Exmoor National Park is also just a short drive away.

Barnstaple is North Devon's main trading centre and is approximately 12 miles away and has many of the bigger name shops, a rail link to Exeter which has direct trains to London, and direct access to the main A361 North Devon Link Road which joins the M5 at junction 27. There is a helipad at Chivenor and the nearest airports are at Exeter and Bristol.
Applicants are advised to proceed from our offices in a westerly direction heading out of town on the main A361 sign posted Barnstaple. At Mullacott Cross roundabout take the right hand exit sign posted Woolacombe & Mortehoe and continue along this road for approximately two and a half miles into Woolacombe. Proceed down the hill towards the village passing the petrol station and continue on around the sweeping 'S' bend. Approximately 300 metres after the 'S' bend turn right into Western Rise and follow the narrow road around the sharp right-hand bend and up the hill. Continue along the road where Brimmers will be found towards the brow of the hill on the right-hand side
