Kings Heanton, Barnstaple, EX31

Ibis House, located in the hamlet of Kings Heanton, is approached from the village lane, with a pretty cottage garden entrance.  Inside we find a bright spacious hall, leading to the two receptions rooms and kitchen.  The main reception room is filled with character, with a working fireplace with log burner for cosy winter evenings.  The second reception room, currently used as a dining room, is spacious and flows through directly to the kitchen diner.  The Kitchen has been crafted to fit brilliantly with the style of house, while providing all modern conveniences with plenty of storage, worktop space, and integrated appliances.  These features, and the addition of a pantry cupboard and under stairs storage make this perfect for family use and those who enjoy cooking and entertaining.

Upstairs we find four bedrooms and two bathrooms, leading from a light, spacious landing.  The main bedroom has ample space for a super-king bed and free standing furniture, and benefits from the addition of an en-suite shower room.  Bedrooms two and three, both south-facing, are generous double bedrooms.  Bedroom 4, being the smaller of the rooms is ideal as a single bedroom or potential study.  The first floor is serviced by two bathrooms, one family bathroom with bath, and one shower room.  Accessed directly from the reception hall, is a lovely well-maintained and private walled garden.  Partly laid to lawn with planting and two separate seating areas, the garden also has a working well which can be used for watering.  This, along with the south facing roof, offers potential for making the house efficient using off-grid services.  The rear gate to the easily manageable garden provides direct access out across the drive to the parking area and double garage.  The ample garage space, serviced with electric and water, provides potential for the re-purposing as a work from home study space.

There are several lovely walks that can be taken on foot from the house, with public footpaths and lanes giving access to Marwood, Pippacott Woods and Whitehall.  The well-known National Trust country property Arlington Court is a short drive away, as well as Marwood Gardens for walks and cream teas.  Road links provide access to the coastal locations of Lynton and Lynmouth, Ilfracombe, Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton with their award-winning beaches.
