4 bed detached house for sale

Pounds Meadow, Braunton EX33

We are delighted to offer Channel View, an attractive detached family home which is located in the very convenient and sought after location of Pounds Meadow, which is set just off Hills View. This is a select cul de sac of 4 individual homes constructed in 1929. The location could not be better for easy access to the village amenities, yet set comfortably away from the hub bub of the centre. Being slightly elevated means there are views over the village to Braunton Burrows & the estuary beyond. We thoroughly recommend an early viewing to fully appreciate what is on offer in terms of location, views, potential to extend and to avoid disappointment.

Maintained and offered for sale to a very good standard, the house also has the original internal doors and the benefit of UPVc double glazing and gas fired central heating. The house can be bought with confidence as in recent years a new water main has been laid and there has been re-wiring. In 2019 there has been roof work, whilst all chimneys have been refurbished and the outside has been re-rendered, therefore, it can be occupied with the minimum of time and expense

Channel View has pleasing part brick and part rendered elevations under a slate roof with a front veranda which opens onto a generous patio area which is ideal al fresco dining or just to sit and read. The rooms flow well land you are welcomed in by the spacious entrance hall which leads to the open plan and triple aspect kitchen/dining/living room. This is the hub of the house with French doors leading out onto the front patio. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of units with under lighting to the wall cupboards and granite work surfaces and pan drawers. There is a very comfortable double aspect sitting room with bay window and seat. There is an efficient Austrian wood burner which also provides a focal point. From the inner hall there is access to the rear garden and the cloakroom. The rear door offers easy access to the outside office

To the first floor there is an attractive split level landing with a wide window which allows the maximum amount of light to flood the landing and down the stairs. There is an inner landing with a good size airing cupboard and a well fitted bathroom and separate WC. The main bedroom is double aspect and commands excellent open views over Braunton and around to Saunton. This has an en suite shower room and a very useful and good size walk in wardrobe. The 2nd and 4th bedrooms also have excellent far reaching views, whilst the 3rd bedroom is to the rear of the house and overlooks the drive.

The property stands within its own very good size, south facing gardens which slope gently from north to south. There is vehicular access to the property from Hills Views and Pounds Meadow to the front whilst to the rear, there is vehicular via double gates, from East Hill. The drive runs the full length to the side of the property which makes it very easy to drive in and drive out. The front garden is laid principally to lawns, flower and shrub beds, whilst immediately to the front of the house is a very generous raised patio/sun deck. This is a wonderful area to entertain or just to sit and enjoy the peace and tranquility. The access to the side of the property leads to the rear garden. Here there is a further lawn, parking for numerous cars and a greenhouse. There is a superb Swedish pine store & 6 meter office which is ideal for working from home or to use as a studio. There is a covered porch which is very close to the main rear porch to the house, so one avoids getting wet in inclement weather.

There is tremendous potential (Sub pp) to extend into the attic. This is a large space to accommodate a further bedroom with en suite and which would have breath taking views.

Location

Pounds Meadow is a cul-de-sac of 4 individual 1920's houses which are tucked away but offer very easy access to the village centre and its amenities. They are in a slightly elevated position and, therefore, afford good views over Braunton, Braunton Burrows, the estuary in the distance, across the sea and out to Lundy Island. Braunton is a superb village with excellent amenities including primary and secondary schooling, medical centre, library, public houses and restaurants, churches and a good number of local shops and stores. There is also a Tesco superstore and a regular bus service from Barnstaple which connects to the sandy beaches at Croyde and Saunton, approximately 5 miles to the west. Saunton also has the renowned Golf Club with its two championship courses. Barnstaple, the regional centre of North Devon, is approximately 5 miles to the south east. Here a wider range of amenities can be found including the Queen's Theatre and North Devon Leisure Centre. Just out of town is an Asda Store and the nearby Sainsbury's, Tesco's and Lidl Stores. There is access to the North Devon Link Road which provides a convenient route to the M5 motorway, whilst the Tarka train line runs from Barnstaple to Exeter picking up the Penzance train to London (Paddington).
