4 bed detached house for sale

Bratton Fleming, Barnstaple, Devon EX31

A charming detached country residence in a tranquil rural setting near Bratton Fleming set in approximately 1.24 acres with barns/outbuildings which have planning permission granted to be converted.

Set amidst the beautiful and unspoilt countryside of North Devon, Pennyall is an exceptional detached period home offering spacious and characterful four-bedroom family accommodation. Positioned just half a mile from the desirable village of Bratton Fleming, this individual property enjoys a superb south-facing aspect with far-reaching rural views, all within easy reach of local amenities and the Exmoor National Park.

The house, a former farmhouse, has been sympathetically extended and refurbished over time to create a deceptively spacious home that blends original period charm with contemporary living. Traditional features such as exposed beams, stone fireplaces, and bread ovens have been thoughtfully preserved, while modern updates ensure comfort and practicality throughout.

The accommodation includes four well-proportioned bedrooms, inviting reception areas, and a stylish kitchen that opens onto a raised, stone-paved terrace—perfect for al fresco dining while enjoying the open views over the paddock. A particularly versatile addition is the attached games room/store which is being used as a gym, offering potential for use as a home office, studio, guest suite, or additional living space, subject to the necessary consents.

Approached via a gated track and private entrance, the property benefits from private parking for two vehicles and a large garage/workshop with power and water connected. The garage links to the games room/store and also houses the oil-fired central heating boiler.

The mature gardens are a standout feature—generously sized and predominantly laid to lawn, both wrapping around the side and rear elevations which are perfect for families with children or pets, the rear garden also has a lovely raised timber decked area which is the perfect spot for soaking up the sun in a private setting.

Barns and out buildings with planning:

To the South West of the property are a set of barns/outbuildings, both of which have planning permission granted to be converted. Planning numbers 76793 and 76792.
Paddock


This stunning home also benefits from a beautiful paddock to the West which is fully enclosed, laid with level lawn and bordered by mature shrubs and trees, a real tranquil spot which enjoys complete privacy.
