Located just 15 minutes from Barnstaple and a short 5-7 minute drive to Bideford, this property provides the perfect blend of convenience and seclusion, surrounded by rolling hills and breathtaking panoramic views.

Sitting on 6 acres of land, FirsView is ideal for equestrian enthusiasts, smallholdings, or those seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle. The property boasts an orchard with mature apple trees, a favourite spot for the horses who happily graze nearby.

Approaching the home, you’re greeted by ample parking for up to 5 cars and the option of two entrances. The versatile layout offers a 6-bedroom property or a 4-bedroom main house with a self-contained 1-bedroom annex—perfect for multigenerational living or guest accommodation. The annex enjoys its own entrance and private garden space.

Upon entering the main house, you'll be welcomed by the warmth of wooden flooring and soft, inviting tones. The spacious third bedroom is situated at the front, offering lovely views over the property. As you move through, you enter the heart of the home—a large family living area filled with natural light. The sitting room, with its dual-aspect log burner, opens onto the garden, offering views of the paddocks, where your ponies can even peek into the living room.

The stylish kitchen is fitted with modern grey laminate flooring, granite worksurfaces, ample cabinetry, and a large walk in larder, providing all the space you need for family living. Adjacent is a practical utility area and boot room/tack room, essential for those with horses or outdoor pursuits. The kitchen flows into a conservatory used as a dining area, perfect for family gatherings with views of your paddocks and land. 

The property also features two additional double bedrooms, including the master bedroom with outstanding views and a charming fourth bedroom currently used as a dressing room. A separate study area is ideal for working from home. The self-contained annex is well-appointed with a large double bedroom, shower en-suite, and separate sitting room with a log burner. This annex could easily be integrated into the main house, or left as an independent living space.

Outside, the land offers abundant possibilities with ample room for paddocks, and a log cabin in the garden that could be transformed into a home office or entertainment area. Firs View has been updated with a new central heating system, 12 south-facing solar panels, and a private well—offering sustainable and efficient living.
