This is a rare opportunity to acquire a delightful character Grade II Listed former farmhouse, which retains many original features and has been lovingly restored by the current owners "custodians" of this charming property.

The property briefly comprises hallway with cloakroom off. Sitting room with wood burning stove. Dining room with exposed beams (currently used as a "Music room")  and stylish "Country" style kitchen.  The first floor is accessed via a "quirky" original staircase leading to 3 double bedrooms, family bathroom and separate w.c.

A door leading to a further flight of stairs takes you to the attic area which is spacious and provides not only ideal storage but leads to a Loft Room ideal for a number of uses.

Outside the property can be accessed via a single gate taking you into a pretty and sunny courtyard area leading up to the front door.  The extensive gardens are made up of areas combining formal and less formal grounds providing an idyllic "playground" for children to explore along with areas for relaxing and even doing a spot of "digging" in the vegetable plots.  The gardens are well stocked with established trees, shrubs and plants.  The driveway provides parking for several cars and leads to a single detached garage.

Bickington has a shop/post office for every day to day needs, public house and regular bus service into Barnstaple offering an excellent selection of schools in a lively and bustling area.  There is always something new to discover whether in one of the local museums or along the 180 mile Tarka Trail, which is a delightful walking and cycling trail. The property is well placed for travelling near or far with Barnstaple train station under 2 miles away and the A39 accessed in a short drive. Located on the River Taw, with Dartmoor to the south, Exmoor National Park to the east and beautiful beaches along the north coast of Devon.
