Upon entering, the entrance hall, with its striking exposed feature wall, leads to the inner hall which houses a storage cupboard and stairs to the first floor. Double glass doors open to a spacious sitting room, which features a brick-built fireplace with a multi-fuel burner and three windows offering views of the rear garden. Additionally, there is a versatile reception room that could serve as a fifth bedroom.

The kitchen/dining room is designed for entertaining, equipped with ample Shaker-style wall and base units topped with granite surfaces, twin bowl ceramic sinks, plumbing for a dishwasher, an integrated wine cooler, space for a Range cooker, and a slate-topped breakfast bar. The dining area, accessed by a step down, includes a door to the rear garden and another leading to the utility room, which has space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and a cloakroom with a two-piece white suite.

The ground floor hosts two of the four double bedrooms. The master bedroom features an en suite shower room and fitted wardrobes, while the second bedroom also includes fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom on this level is fitted with a four-piece white suite, comprising a bath, shower cubicle, pedestal wash hand basin, and WC.

Upstairs, a spacious landing currently serves as a study area and leads to two additional double bedrooms. A bathroom on this floor includes a three-piece white suite with a bath, pedestal wash hand basin, WC, and heated towel rail.

OUTSIDE:

The property is accessed from the lane and offers ample off-road parking for numerous cars. A gate leads to the side of the property, where a brick-paved drive extends to a detached oak-framed double garage, complete with power and light. To the front and rear of the garage are outside taps. The drive continues to the rear garden, accessed via a small bridge crossing a charming stream formed from runoff water from neighbouring fields. This feature enhances the garden, which is mainly laid to lawn and includes a variety of mature plants and trees, as well as a cobbled area perfect for outdoor dining. The garden enjoys picturesque views of neighbouring fields. An additional five-bar gate provides access to an extra parking area.
From our office proceed out of town over the long bridge in the direction of Bideford. At the large roundabout continue straight over up Sticklepath Hill then take the next left and follow the signs to Lake. Continue through Lake passing the telephone box on the left hand side, go over the small bridge and you take the first left hand turn (after The Smythy) down a small lane, then the property is the first on the left.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on February 2, 2023

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
