<p>Ashbury is the end home within this small, exclusive development of brand-new detached houses on Lower Park Road, one of Braunton’s most sought-after residential settings.</p><p><br/></p><p>Built by renowned local builders, the development has been carefully constructed with a high specification, strong attention to detail and a clear focus on easy, modern living. This is not a standard new-build estate. It is a small collection of individual homes in an established Braunton location, designed for buyers who want quality, comfort and convenience without the upkeep of an older property.</p><p><br/></p><p>Ashbury offers the sort of balance buyers are increasingly looking for. A proper detached home, three double bedrooms, generous parking, a detached garage with electric roller door, a south-facing landscaped rear garden and the reassurance of an energy-efficient new home, all within walking distance of Braunton village.</p><p><br/></p><p>The rear garden is a real strength. It has been attractively landscaped, enjoys a sunny aspect and is not overlooked to the rear, giving the house a far more private feel than many modern homes. There is space for outside dining, family life, dogs, beach kit and relaxed day-to-day use, without the garden becoming difficult to maintain.</p><p><br/></p><p>Inside, the layout reflects the way people live now. The ground floor has a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living space opening onto the garden, giving you one sociable, practical area for cooking, eating, relaxing and entertaining. There is still a natural division within the space, so the sitting area feels comfortable rather than exposed. A separate utility room and ground-floor wet room add useful flexibility for families, guests, dogs, beach days or future-proofed living.</p><p><br/></p><p>Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite, plus a family bathroom.</p><p><br/></p><p>Energy efficiency is a key part of the appeal. Ashbury is EPC A-rated, with solar panels and battery storage, helping to support lower running costs and a more efficient way of living. For buyers comparing older homes with higher bills, repairs and constant maintenance, this is a very sensible alternative.</p><p><br/></p><p>Ashbury should appeal to upsizers wanting more space, young couples planning ahead, growing families and downsizers looking for a smart, low-maintenance home without giving up independence, parking or a proper garden.</p><p><br/></p><p>Braunton village centre is close by, with shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants, schools and everyday services within easy reach. Saunton Sands, Croyde, Putsborough, Woolacombe, Braunton Burrows and the wider North Devon coastline are all nearby.</p><p><br/></p><p>Brand-new, detached, energy-efficient and beautifully placed. Ashbury is a proper Braunton home, built for modern coastal living.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Braunton </strong></p><p>Braunton does not need much introduction to those who already know North Devon. It has long been one of the area’s most desirable villages, valued for its strong community, excellent amenities and easy access to the coast.</p><p><br/></p><p>For buyers relocating into the area, its appeal is easy to understand. Braunton offers proper year-round living, not just a seasonal coastal address. The village centre has a good mix of independent shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants, schools and everyday services, while Barnstaple is within easy reach for wider shopping, employment, schooling, healthcare and transport links.</p><p><br/></p><p>Lower Park Road is particularly well placed, sitting in a well-regarded residential setting close to the heart of the village. From here, daily life feels simple and connected, with everything close at hand and the coast ready whenever time allows.</p><p><br/></p><p>Saunton Sands is nearby, with its wide beach, dunes and renowned championship golf club. Braunton Burrows, one of the most distinctive natural landscapes in North Devon, sits just beyond. Croyde, Putsborough and Woolacombe are also within easy reach, offering some of the region’s best surfing beaches, coastal walks, restaurants and places to explore.</p><p><br/></p><p>That balance is what makes Braunton so consistently sought after. It gives buyers the comfort and convenience of a proper village, with the beaches, countryside and North Devon lifestyle close by. For a modern new home on Lower Park Road, the setting is a major part of the story: practical, desirable and genuinely well positioned for both local buyers and those making a long-term move to the area.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>The North Devon setting</strong></p><p>North Devon is a landscape defined by contrast. Wide Atlantic beaches meet rolling farmland and open moorland, while working harbours sit alongside traditional market towns. Life here follows the rhythm of light, tide and season.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Coast, moor and wider landscape</strong></p><p>The coastline is among the most dramatic in the country, with expansive sandy beaches such as Woolacombe and Saunton framed by dunes and rugged headlands. Inland, Exmoor offers open space, dark skies and a strong sense of freedom. To the south, Dartmoor provides a different landscape again, with tors, rivers and long moorland walks, while the coast road westwards leads into Cornwall’s fishing villages and cliff scenery.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>A region that rewards lifestyle</strong></p><p>It is a region that draws you outside and suits those who value space, community and a slower, more considered pace of life.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Road and rail connections</strong></p><p>Despite its rural setting, Braunton is well connected. Barnstaple railway station provides regular services to Exeter St Davids in around an hour, with onward direct connections to London Paddington taking approximately two hours. Tiverton Parkway offers an alternative mainline option and is easily reached by road.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Access by road</strong></p><p>The A361 North Devon Link Road connects efficiently to the M5 at Junction 27, providing access to the wider motorway network, while the Atlantic Highway and coast road open up routes west towards Cornwall.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Air travel</strong></p><p>For air travel, Exeter Airport lies just over an hour away, with a range of UK and European flights, while Bristol Airport offers a wider selection of international destinations within around two hours’ drive.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Schooling and education</strong></p><p>Education is well served locally, with respected primary schools nearby and established secondary provision in Barnstaple and Braunton. Independent education is available at West Buckland School, offering schooling from early years through to sixth form.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong><em>By Design Homes North Devon & Exmoor is part of the wider By Design Homes network – a collective of experienced, premium estate agents delivering bespoke one-to-one service across the UK and internationally.
