West Annery, Monkleigh, Bideford, EX39

Most appealing 3 bed barn conversion offering extremely comfortable and well planned accommodation which takes full advantage of the fabulous unobstructed rural view down through the Yeo Valley and beyond. Complimented by attractive gardens together with plenty of parking and detached garage. Would suit beautifully for either permanent living or as a holiday home. Viewing Highly recommended.

This will be found to be an extremely comfortable and well presented barn conversion which for the last 14 years has been lived in and enjoyed as a main residence but prior to that was used as a successful holiday home. Being light and airy the accommodation offers versatility due to an en-suite bedroom on the ground floor. One of the main features of the property is the impressive living room with vaulted ceiling, wood burner and fabulous aspect which it enjoys, none more so from the corner window, over the surrounding countryside and down through the Yeo Valley. The property is beautifully complimented by a lawned garden and a totally private seating and relaxation area. The gardens adjoin open fields over which the aspect is just wonderful down through the valley. To the rear of the property there is parking for at least 4 cars together with a garage and additional area suitable for the parking of a boat and/or caravan.

Properties like this rarely come to the market and the agents have no hesitation in recommending an appointment to view for the property and aspect to be truly appreciated.
