Description
Sandbanks is a detached bungalow on the outskirts of Barnstaple, and the first thing most people will remember about it is the view from the living room. Beyond the garden fence the fields fall away towards the Taw estuary, with the hills of North Devon rolling off into the distance. Built in recent years, the house has solar panels on the roof, underfloor heating and the remainder of its NHBC warranty still to run.
From the front, white render and slate grey weatherboarding sit beneath a slate style roof, with a block paved driveway leading up to the garage and front door. Young hedging and planting soften the frontage and will only get better as they fill out.
As you step through the front door, a wide L shaped hallway runs through the heart of the home. Every room opens off it, and there's a large built in storage cupboard for coats, cases and the vacuum cleaner.
The kitchen and dining room is where day to day life will happen. White high gloss handleless units run around three sides, topped with pale Silestone worktops, and a Rangemaster range cooker takes centre stage beneath a stainless steel chimney hood and glass splashback. The sink sits under the window, and a run of open shelving gives you somewhere to put the pieces you'd rather have on show. Even with all that storage, there's space for a proper dining table and a couple of sofas. French doors open straight onto the patio, so on a warm evening supper can move outside with very little effort.
Through wide sliding doors is the living room, and this is the room that makes the house. The ceiling is vaulted right up to a fully glazed gable, and beneath it a set of bifold doors folds back to the garden. Sitting here with the doors open, you look across open farmland to the estuary, and the sky seems to fill half the room.
