5 bed detached house for sale

Heanton, Nr Braunton, Devon EX31

Welcome to The Small House, a detached five double-bedroom family home that has been impressively extended and transformed by the current owners to create a versatile family home, complete with self-contained annexe space.

Internally, the home offers a wonderful blend of original character with modern style and comfort. As you enter the property, you are welcomed into the gym area, a fantastic space that is fully tiled and benefits from bi-folding doors. There is a further room currently used for massages, along with a shower and changing suite to the rear. Beyond this is a further space leading to the rear of the property, providing access for the potential letting of the annexe studio above.

On this level, there is an open-plan living area with a kitchenette and lounge, enjoying views over the fields, together with a double bedroom.

Returning to the ground floor, a door leads through to a hallway with a downstairs W.C., understairs storage and access to the snug, which features a wood burner and naturally flows into the modern kitchen and dining area, arranged in an L-shape. To the front of this room is the main lounge, which benefits from a door leading to the garden, dual-aspect windows and views towards the estuary, as well as a further wood burner.

To the first floor are four double bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite facilities. Bedroom one is an impressive space with a vaulted ceiling, fitted wardrobes and an en-suite, as well as a private balcony enjoying stunning views - the perfect spot for a morning coffee or evening drink whilst taking in the dramatic sunsets. There is also a family bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms, both of which enjoy views to the front.

Outside, to the front is a paved driveway providing parking for several vehicles, together with garage space (used as a utility currently) with a roller door, hedging and side access leading to the rear.

The rear garden has a patio adjoining the house, with a gently sloping lawn leading up to a large detached wooden outbuilding, which would make an excellent home office. Beyond this is a further garden area and a gate providing access onto the lane.

The property also benefits from solar water-heating panels to the front (currently disconnected).
From Junction 27 of the M5, take the A361 towards Barnstaple. Continue on the A361 as it becomes the Barnstaple bypass, following signs for Braunton and Ilfracombe. Cross the Taw Bridge over the River Taw and continue for several miles until you reach Wrafton. In Wrafton, take the right-hand turning signposted Heanton Punchardon and North Devon Athletic Track, then take the second right-hand turning onto Heanton Hill. Follow the road uphill to the top, continuing as it bends around past the church. The Small House will be found a short distance further along on the left-hand side
