Situated in the delightful and unspoilt village of Lovacott, Newton Tracey, this handsome and beautifully presented period property occupies a generous, level plot and enjoys far-reaching views to the rear across open countryside. Offering excellent privacy, charming accommodation and a wonderful village setting, the property will appeal to buyers seeking a character home with space, outlook and lifestyle appeal.<br/><br/>The vendors have carefully enhanced and maintained the property to an impressive standard. The accommodation briefly comprises a welcoming entrance hall with tiled flooring, stairs rising to the first floor and a step down to the cloakroom.<br/><br/>The dining room/snug is a warm and versatile space, featuring a recessed fireplace with wood burner. This room could equally be used as a fourth bedroom, study or cosy sitting area.<br/><br/>The main sitting room is a particularly inviting reception room, with oak flooring, exposed beams and a striking stone fireplace incorporating an inset beam, bread oven and wood burner. Two front-facing windows bring in natural light, while double doors open through to the garden room, which enjoys wonderful views over the garden.<br/><br/>Leading off the sitting room is the stylish kitchen, fitted with an extensive range of contemporary wall and base units with work surfaces over. Integrated appliances include a stainless steel eye-level double oven with built-in microwave above, along with a one-and-a-half bowl porcelain sink. A Velux skylight and window help create a bright and airy feel. An archway leads through to a practical utility area with double porcelain sink, a range of built-in cupboards and plumbing for a washing machine.<br/><br/>Off the kitchen is a lobby area with airing cupboard housing the oil-fired boiler, along with a further door leading to the spacious bathroom, fitted with a white four-piece suite including a corner Jacuzzi bath.<br/><br/>The impressive garden room, accessed from both the kitchen and sitting room, is a standout feature of the home. It has a vaulted ceiling with tinted glass roof, a useful double storage cupboard, a ladder leading to a small mezzanine storage area, wall lights and exposed natural stone walling to one side. Two sets of French doors open directly to the outside, creating an excellent connection between the house and garden.<br/><br/>To the first floor, there are three comfortable double bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in storage. Bedrooms one and three also enjoy attractive countryside views to the rear. This floor is served by a separate WC and shower room.<br/><br/>Outside, the south facing rear gardens and grounds are a real highlight and will appeal to a wide range of prospective buyers. They offer an appealing mix of mature planting, vegetable areas and established pleasure gardens. The main garden is level, predominantly laid to lawn and backs directly onto open fields, taking full advantage of the beautiful rural outlook. There are various patio and seating areas, a pond and a tucked-away chipped area. At the far end of the garden is a substantial space ideal for use as a vegetable plot, together with a small stone outbuilding.<br/><br/>To the front of the property are two parking bays, positioned to either side of the garage, with additional off-road parking in front. The garage has been divided to provide a useful storage area, while the rear section has been converted into a study or hobbies room. This area is carpeted and well suited to flexible use. The garage could, however, be reinstated if required to create a large double garage.<br/>From Barnstaple continue over the old bridge and up Sticklepath Hill and at the Cedars Roundabout turn left and continue straight across the next 2 roundabouts passing Sainsburys on the left. At the next main roundabout continue straight across on the B3232 signposted to Torrington. At Rooty Cross, a road leads off to the right, proceed down here and at the end of this road go straight over the junction passing the primary school on the right. After a short distance you will see the property next door to the chapel on the right with a for sale board displayed.
