3 Bed in Barnstaple (oc-87116)

This fabulous, converted chapel is situated in the village of Bickington, where visitors will find a pub and a shop with a post office. For those looking for a traditional seaside holiday, there is a choice of lovely beaches including Saunton Sands, Westward Ho! and Croyde (all within 11 miles). Also within easy reach are a range of popular attractions to suit all tastes, including Exmoor Zoo (12 miles), Broomhill Sculpture Garden (5 miles), and the National Trust property of Arlington Court (10 miles).

Stepping into the property, you’ll find yourself in the original vestibule before entering the main living area – the high ceilings create a real feeling of space. The contemporary interior includes underfloor heating and modern appliances such as a large Smart TV that blends seamlessly with the original features. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner has been well thought out and the original pews have even been incorporated into the design. Comfortable sofas and a large dining table enable everyone to be able to eat together. The kitchen area has a dual fuel range cooker, instant boiling water tap on the island unit, and integrated appliances including a dishwasher and fridge/freezer. From the lounge area, a bespoke staircase with treads made from the church’s original seating leads to a mezzanine level which has some of the best views in the house. Here you'll find a small games table, bean bags, books and games, and a balustrade offering views down into the impressive living space. Back downstairs, head through the kitchen and you’ll find the utility room with a washing machine, sink and tumble drier. Also on the ground floor are two bedrooms; both bedrooms have super-king zip and link beds (which can be made into twins on request). The larger of the two has an en-suite shower room with a shower and WC. Next door, there is a bathroom with a roll-top bath, separate shower and WC. All these rooms are connected by the bright and spacious rear hall which has two sets of bi-folding doors that lead out to the west-facing garden. Head up the staircase from the rear hall to the large landing area that leads to the master bedroom with a super-king-size bed, roof lights, built-in wardrobes and a dreamy en-suite with a bath, separate shower and WC.

The garden is perfect for relaxing, and here you will find artificial grass and plenty of space to sit and enjoy the sunshine. It’s west facing and so enjoys sun from early afternoon until late evening, with quality garden furniture and an interesting outside fireplace where you can plan your next day’s adventure.
