6 bed detached house for sale

Cleave Road, Sticklepath, Barnstaple EX31

Location! Location! Location!

A superb split-level detached home, situated within the highly desirable location of Cleave Road. This home benefits from spacious and flexible accommodation, arranged over three floors. Due to the corner plot position, this property has the added attraction of wrap around gardens, which have been extensively improved and landscaped by the current owners. There is a detached double garage, private driveway parking, 'all seasons' cabin/office and delightful outlook and extensive views are a wow factor and not to be missed! No onward chain!

A spacious, multi-level home with stunning river views and extensive gardens.

Enter through wide, secure, wheelchair-friendly glazed doors into a large Mediterranean-style tiled dining room (seats 8) with a modern, bright kitchen to the right. A short staircase leads up to a mezzanine level with two double bedrooms (one en suite, both with river and countryside views) and a Jack-and-Jill shower room. This level could serve as a guest suite or granny flat. One bedroom may suit a home office, though there's also an insulated office cabin in the garden.

Down a level from the dining room / kitchen / entrance, are two lounges: One large L-shaped with study space, the other used as a playroom/7th bedroom. Glass patio doors lead to a secure, railed balcony with panoramic views.

Another level down is a family bathroom, a bedroom (with light well, potential orangery), and a laundry room with external access to a covered drying area, stairwell to all levels, and hatch access to the basement. A recent Siemens gas boiler and hot water tank are included.

The lowest floor has the master suite (walk-in shower and garden access double glazed French door), plus two more bedrooms (a double and a large single). Five of the six bedrooms plus the 7th/2nd lounge have fitted wardrobes. All in excellent decorative condition with recent quality carpets throughout (except kitchen, dining, and bathrooms).

The home is one of the few in the area with wraparound grounds, offering scope for kitchen extension, plus attic conversion (partly floored). A separate double garage with driveway and back door opens to the secure Eastern Garden.

The grounds are fully fenced with gated key coded access for security and privacy. Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac beside a bike/foot path to the Tarka Trail. Mature front garden includes cherry, olive, and holly trees, plus wisteria, roses, clematis, and lavender.

The Western garden features a wisteria arch pathway to a key coded gate. Then on to a viewing platform, and a rustic trail past more cherry trees and palms to the main North garden. The Eastern garden has fruit trees (pears, apples, plums, pomegranate, and more), palms, roses, camellias, grape vine, and a well-equipped insulated cabin with estuary views.

The ample North garden is secure and child-friendly, with cherry laurel fencing, a weeping willow, paved area, pergola, and more fruit and flowering plants. Under the lounge balcony is a greenhouse/shed, beside a spiral staircase and palm that gives the balcony a tree-house feel.

Well above flood risk, the property enjoys front row estuary sunsets, viewable via an in-house CCTV camera system, which typically connects to authorized TV and mobile devices.
