Cleave Road, Sticklepath, Barnstaple, Devon EX31

Nestled in a highly desirable location on Cleave Road in Barnstaple, this impressive 5/6 bedroom detached residence offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented family home with truly breathtaking views. From the rear elevation, the property enjoys a stunning panorama across the River Taw, stretching right up the estuary and sweeping back towards the heart of the town itself—views that shift with the light and seasons, creating a constantly evolving backdrop.

The home is approached via a generous driveway with ample space for several vehicles, in addition to a double garage that provides secure parking or useful storage. Stepping inside, you are welcomed into a bright, open-plan kitchen and dining space that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the home. This area has been tastefully updated and thoughtfully redesigned by the current owners in recent years, blending contemporary style with practicality. The kitchen has been beautifully finished and has a range of built in appliances. It forms the hub of the house, perfect for family living and entertaining alike.

From here, a mezzanine level leads to a bedroom, which benefits from a well-appointed Jack and Jill en-suite bathroom, ideal for guests or older children seeking a degree of independence and privacy. Alongside another well appointed room which offers good flexability.

Returning to the main level, a short flight of stairs takes you down to the principal living accommodation. To the left is the main lounge—spacious, comfortable, and flooded with natural light—offering direct access through French doors onto a raised balcony. This elevated outdoor space capitalises fully on the spectacular estuary views and provides a peaceful retreat for morning coffee or evening drinks. Adjacent to the lounge is another flexible room that can serve as a sixth bedroom, a home office, or a formal dining room, depending on your lifestyle needs.

Descending to the first floor, you’ll find a generously sized double bedroom alongside a modernised family bathroom. Finished to an excellent standard, the bathroom provides a sense of luxury and practicality. On this floor you will also find the utility room which has a door that leads to the the side access and then onto the garden, which is a tiered level garden, beautifully presented with mature shrubs.

The ground floor offers a further three double bedrooms, including the elegant master suite. This impressive room benefits from its own en-suite shower room and a wealth of built-in wardrobe space.

Throughout, the property is immaculately presented, with a cohesive, stylish décor that enhances the spacious and versatile layout. It’s a home that offers not just flexible living, but a rare combination of privacy, accessibility, and some of the finest views available in the area.
