3 Bedrooms Semi-detached house for sale in Parracombe Lane, Parracombe, Barnstaple EX31 | £ 370,000

Property Description

Hillsview Cottage is a grand individual residence, situated within the picturesque village of Parracombe. The property has undergone extensive renovation and refurbishment, since it was bought over 20 years ago. Positioned on the edge of the village, this period home is full of charm and character, whilst offering wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. It has a great 'kerbside appeal' and benefits from a private gated driveway, providing ample off road parking, attractive front garden and a very large landscaped garden which offers a great deal of privacy, along with fantastic open views. You enter the property via the 24 ft conservatory, which is bright, spacious and offers flexible use, with patio doors leading out to a patio and attractive grounds beyond. The entrance hall then leads off to a dining room with bay window, cosy lounge, breakfast room and fitted kitchen providing access to a small courtyard and side access to a country lane. The first floor offers a family bathroom and three double bedrooms. One of the bedrooms is a very large double bedroom which currently serves as a leisure/hobbies room, with access to a generous loft room. The loft room offers a bright, flexible space, with potential to create a fourth double bedroom if required, subject to the normal required consents. Hillsview is certainly a place you could easily fall in love with and also has the attraction of being sold with no onward chain. A fantastic permanent home, but equally could be an idyllic holiday home, investment with excellent rental potential, or even a small guesthouse.

Parracombe can be found in Exmoor National Park, surrounded by protected countryside. The village has two churches, a local primary school, Post Office, general store and the Fox and Goose Inn. Lynmouth is five miles away, which is a charming and traditional Devonshire village and is home to the famous Lynton and Lymouth Cliff Top Railway. The village itself offers usual amenities, including many shops, pubs and restaurants with some delightful walks with spectacular views over the surrounding countryside and coastline. The nearest town is Barnstaple, which boasts many facilities such as the Green Lanes Shopping Centre, Cinema, Theatre and transport links by rail and bus, where the cities of Exeter and London can be reached. The North Devon Coastline is within easy driving distance, with the popular sandy beaches of Woolacombe and Croyde nearby.
