1 bed detached bungalow for sale

Milltown, Barnstaple EX31

About 1.5 acres. A nicely presented, stone barn conversion, single storey, and with low running costs and views over fields and woods into the distance. Off-road parking, lawn, solar panels, pair of stables, pastureland.

Set at Whiddon, a cluster of a half dozen or so individual properties, being close to the popular Marwood Primary School with its outstanding Ofsted Report. A half mile or so away to the east is the B3230 Barnstaple to Ilfracombe road at Milltown and Muddiford where there is a popular village inn, the road providing convenient access to these two centres with Ilfracombe being 7 miles to the north and Barnstaple, the ancient borough and administrative centre for North Devon being less than 5 miles to the south and offering a comprehensive range of both business and leisure facilities including the Green Lanes Shopping Centre, out of town super stores, live theatre and a new leisure centre and tennis courts.

From the town immediate access on to the A361/North Devon Link Road which connects directly through to junction 27 on the M5 motorway to the east side of Tiverton, where there is also the Parkway Railway Station. From Barnstaple there is also a sprinter train running from the town along the picturesque Taw and Exe Valleys through to the cathedral city of Exeter.

Some 6 to 8 miles to the west and north are the dramatic North Devon coastline with sandy beaches with surfing at Saunton, Croyde and Putsborough whilst to the north the more dramatic cliffs around Combe Martin, Lynton & Lynmouth and to the east the Exmoor National Park.

This delightful stone barn conversion was converted some eight years ago and is most tastefully presented with exposed a frame roof timbers throughout and light and bright accommodation with all patio doors and windows looking out over the garden, fields adjoining, woodland and away to the far distance.

As said the property is nicely presented and has been designed to be very economical with running costs with the air conditioning unit and solar panels and these now work out at £60 to £70 per month plus on course Council tax which is Band A.

There is good concrete car park to one side of the garden and this adjoins a pair of stables and there are 2 small paddocks one immediately adjoining the garden and the other adjoining and having a separate access off of the country lane.
