This fantastic six-bedroom detached chalet bungalow is located in the highly desirable village of Lovacott, being conveniently located within easy access of Barnstaple, Bideford and Torrington. The property offers the perfect blend of stylish and modern living and has been extended, modernised and beautifully maintained by the current vendors since their occupation over 20 years ago.

Situated in the middle of this large, level plot of approximately half an acre, the property boasts beautifully landscaped gardens, ample parking, and attached 1.5 size garage. Its versatile accommodation is ideal for a large family or dual-family occupation.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a large glazed Entrance Porch that leads into a light and airy Reception Hall. The Living Room is inviting with its feature fireplace with living flame LPG gas fired stove, perfect for cosy evenings and enjoying views over the front garden. The Kitchen/Dining Room has been extended and updated with a superbly equipped fitted Kitchen and certainly has the “wow factor”. There is a generous Dining area and the whole space is ideal for large family and social gatherings. Integrated appliances include 2 ovens, 1 microwave, coffee machine, larder fridge and separate larder freezer, 5 ring induction hob with extractor over and dishwasher, the majority being AEG appliances. As we know the Kitchen can be the heart of any home, and Ellislake is no exception. Enhancing the space is a large island, French doors and dual aspect windows allowing picturesque views over the gardens.

The ground floor accommodates three double Bedrooms, the largest boasting a beautifully appointed En Suite Bathroom with four-piece suite and electric under floor heating. The family Bathroom is on this level as well, again featuring a luxury four-piece white suite and under floor heating. Additional ground floor spaces include a TV/Children’s Playroom, a useful Study, Utility/Cloakroom with WC, washbasin, plumbing and space for washing machine and tumble dryer. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a double-glazed Conservatory/Sun Room to the rear, providing a lovely spot to relax and enjoy the garden views.

On the first floor, there are three further generous double Bedrooms. The master Bedroom is particularly spacious, allowing room for a seating area and offering French doors with a Juliette balcony enjoying breath-taking views over the rear garden and the countryside beyond. A fitted air conditioning unit provides added comfort. A luxury En Suite Shower Room complements this Bedroom perfectly. Another of the Bedrooms also has the benefit of an En Suite Bathroom.

This property is a truly exceptional home, combining space, style, and versatility in a sought-after village setting and it is without doubt that you will find a home of this size and calibre which offers buyers the opportunity of owning a home that they can literally, open the door, place their furniture and enjoy village life immediately.

Outside
The property has a generous driveway approach with wooden double entrance gate with parking and turning area, allowing parking for numerous vehicles or motorhomes. Whilst there is large attached Garage 23’4” x 13’8”, there is still scope to build a further detached double or triple garage to the front garden subject to any necessary consents. The gardens to the front are lawned, with well stocked, colourful flower beds and borders and a variety of mature trees. Being south facing, there are several patio and seating areas to the front and complete privacy. To one side is a block built detached workshop/store, timber garden shed and an area which had previously been used as a chicken run. To the other side is a greenhouse and following this path around to the rear there is a large patio area ideal for outdoor dining and socialising. Again with ample lawned areas, colourful flower beds and mature trees.

Agents Note:
In addition to Ellislake, there is an available separate building plot that the vendors may sell. This additional plot would be acquired through separate negotiation, providing a unique opportunity for buyers seeking expansion or investment potential. Prospective buyers interested in this plot should engage in separate discussions to agree on terms and conditions specific to this additional purchase.
From Barnstaple continue over the old bridge and up Sticklepath Hill and at the Cedars Roundabout turn left and continue straight across the next 2 roundabouts passing Sainsburys on the left side. At the next main roundabout continue straight across on the B3232 signposted to Torrington. At Rooty Cross a road leads off to the right and on continuing down here at the end of this road the turning into Ellislake will be found on the right hand side.
