3 bed detached house for sale

Guineaford, Barnstaple, Devon EX31

A charming detached three-bedroom cottage-style house in the peaceful village of Guineaford, just three miles north of Barnstaple. Traditionally built and well maintained, it’s ideally located for countryside walks, with easy access to Barnstaple, North Devon’s beaches, and Exmoor National Park. Rarely available in this sought-after village.

Situated in the quiet and unspoilt village of Guineaford, just three miles north of Barnstaple, this detached three-bedroom cottage-style home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property in a peaceful rural setting with excellent potential for improvement or extension, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The house is set within compact mature gardens that back onto open farmland, creating a lovely private outlook, and includes an adjoining garage.

Traditionally constructed by the seller’s family, the property was built with a classic cottage influence. It has been well maintained over the years and is presented in a neat and tidy condition, though it would now benefit from some cosmetic updating. For those looking to put their own stamp on a home or explore the possibility of extending, this is a property with real promise.

Guineaford is a small and highly sought-after village where homes seldom come to market. It is surrounded by open countryside and offers beautiful walking opportunities straight from the doorstep. Despite its tranquil setting, the village is just a short drive from the Pilton side of Barnstaple, the regional centre of North Devon, which offers a hospital, a wide range of shops, schools, and leisure facilities.

Nearby points of interest include the coastal destinations of Croyde, Saunton, Instow and Woolacombe, all popular for their stunning beaches and natural beauty. The Exmoor National Park, with its dramatic landscapes and outdoor pursuits, is also easily accessible. A primary school can be found in nearby Marwood, along with a well-known garden open to the public, and a local pub lies just over a mile away.

This is a rare chance to secure a well-located home with countryside charm and significant potential, in one of North Devon’s most desirable rural communities.
