3 bed detached house for sale

Fairways Close, High Bickington, Umberleigh, Devon EX37

Tucked away in the highly desirable location of High Bickington, on the outskirts of Barnstaple, and surrounded by beautiful North Devon countryside, 18 Fairways Close offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a spacious and versatile three-bedroom detached house. This immaculately presented home sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, enjoying both privacy and convenience, making it ideal for families, professionals, or those seeking a tranquil retreat. Furthermore, this property is located off Libbaton golf course with 2 lifetime memberships for owners.

On arrival, the property impresses with its generous gravel driveway, providing off-road parking for around three vehicles. The attractive exterior continues inside, where the accommodation is presented in excellent decorative order and has been carefully maintained by the current owners.

The home opens with a useful porch leading into a welcoming entrance hall, from which the rest of the ground floor flows. The spacious living room is light-filled and inviting and benefits from a lovely wood burning stove, with a large front-facing window that takes in the garden view and floods the room with natural light. Double internal doors lead into the dining room, a lovely entertaining space which in turn opens through French doors to the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors.

The kitchen-breakfast room is a standout feature, benefiting from a dual-aspect layout that makes it particularly bright and airy. Modern in design, it offers a stylish range of fitted cabinetry, and ample space for casual dining. Also on the ground floor is a separate utility room—ideal for laundry and extra storage—and a convenient cloakroom/WC.

Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to three generously sized double bedrooms, each offering excellent proportions and a calm atmosphere. The principal bedroom boasts its own en-suite shower room, finished to a high standard with a three-piece suite. The remaining bedrooms are served by a large family bathroom, perfect for modern family living.

Outside, the rear garden is an unexpected delight, arranged over several terraced levels and enjoying a wonderfully private setting that backs onto mature woodland. There are various areas to enjoy, including a paved patio for outdoor dining, raised flowerbeds full of colour as well as a greenhouse, and a summer house positioned at the top of the garden, providing a lovely space to soak up the surroundings. There is also a workshed at the bottom of the garden which enhances your storage options.

Combining space, style, and a highly sought-after rural position, 18 Fairways Close High is a rare find in today’s market and must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
