Bratton Fleming, Barnstaple EX31

Tucked away near the centre of a thriving village, this detached family home enjoys a peaceful setting with far-reaching views towards the coast and direct access to a recreation ground. Just a short 15-minute drive from Barnstaple and on the edge of Exmoor, the location offers both countryside charm and everyday convenience. The property features flexible living space, including four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a welcoming sitting room, separate dining room, study, well-equipped kitchen, and a bright garden room. There's also a double tandem garage, a handy store room, and generous parking with room for a motorhome. The beautifully maintained level gardens offer a private, sheltered retreat, while the home presents exciting scope for further extension, subject to planning permission.

The ground floor welcomes you into a bright and spacious entrance hall with practical storage and warm wood-effect flooring. The layout flows into a light-filled, dual-aspect dining room with French doors opening directly onto the rear garden, ideal for entertaining or family meals. Adjacent, the sitting room features a wood-burning stove set within a classic surround and wide picture windows that frame the garden views.

The kitchen is fitted with modern cream units, wood-effect worktops. A rear door connects directly to the garage, making it a functional extension of the living space. Also on the ground floor is a study, a cloakroom, and a fourth bedroom with a built-in wardrobe—offering versatility as a guest room or home office.

Upstairs, a generous landing provides enough space for a desk or reading nook, and includes access to a large store room and the loft via a retractable ladder. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room with contemporary fittings. Two additional bedrooms, both with garden views, share a modern family bathroom complete with a p-shaped bath, overhead shower, and sleek vanity units.

Outside, the grounds are a real highlight. A sweeping driveway offers ample space for multiple vehicles, including a motorhome or caravan. The gardens are a delightful mix of well-established lawns, shrubbery, and flower beds, featuring mature specimens such as azaleas, camellias, and rhododendrons. A raised terrace and ornamental pond, shaded by an apple tree, create perfect spots to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The kitchen garden and shed provide practical outdoor space, while the paved terrace and lawn offer excellent areas for entertaining or family play.

At the rear of the garage, the garden room—complete with a wood-burning stove and doors to the outside—offers a cosy year-round retreat or potential studio.
