Details
We are delighted to offer Bay View to the market, the first time in over 20 years after the present owners moved in themselves. In this time they have raised their family and improved the property throughout. However, the time has come to move on and so this is an excellent opportunity for those looking for a solid home to bring up the next generation of family.
This attractive South facing property is situated in the very sought after location of Down Lane, a no through road which is set up from the village and so benefits from the most wonderful views over Braunton, on to the estuary and around to the Burrows and the sea beyond towards Hartland Point. The road comprises a mixture of styles of properties making it an interesting place to live. The house has rendered elevations under a tiled roof with spaced, three hole crested ridge tiles. There is the benefit of uPVC double glazing and gas fired central heating and good parking for 3 cars and a garage.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors with very flexible arrangement which could produce an income, a dependent relative or for a dual living or to work from home. There are 2 reception rooms with deep bay windows and a very well fitted kitchen with vaulted ceiling. From here there is access to a useful boot room and cloakroom. The boot room is used as the main entrance as it is directly from the steps down from the parking spaces. The vaulted studio room has a door from the top of the steps and the room leads down to a utility room. From here there is further access to what can be the 5th bedroom as there is a shower room off. There is an interconnecting door from this room to the sitting room.
The house is believed to have been built circa 1890 for a ships captain, and sits on a lovely plot with a garage and parking and steps down to the house. This opens to a wonderful South facing rear garden which is mainly laid to lawn. To the West corner is a path to the front which leads around to the bottom of Down Lane. This is very convenient to take the garden waste and recycling down to the road for collection. To the East corner of the garden is a sunken area with seating and a lovely garden room/studio. This is ideal for an office but currently used for the owners hobby: pottery. However, the main feature is the side terrace BBQ and entertaining area. This covered area offers excellent privacy to party and will accommodate a large dining table. 3 arched recesses are currently for wood storage and the attractive red brick floor gives a Mediterranean feel. To one side is a bar area and summer house. This really is an ideal area to relax in the company of family and friends.
We thoroughly recommend a full viewing to really appreciate what this house has to offer. The views are exceptional, the accommodation is flexible and the character unmistakable. Few properties offer this range of benefits and we are sure you will not be disappointed.
