Bickington

Tucked away in the charming village of Bickington, Summers is a home that effortlessly combines character, space, and convenient access to everything North Devon has to offer. Reached via a private battleaxe drive, the property opens onto a generous gravel driveway with parking for three vehicles, while a gated entrance provides an added sense of privacy and seclusion. From the outset, the house makes a striking impression, showcasing timeless appeal with its traditional windows and an elegant sage green exterior that blends beautifully with its picturesque village setting.

Inside, the living room immediately sets the tone, centred around a striking stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove and complemented by an open-tread timber staircase that adds real architectural interest. It’s a space that balances character with comfort, flowing seamlessly through to the sun room at the rear. Far from a seasonal addition, this is a true extension of the living space—bright, inviting, and perfectly positioned to take in views over the garden and open countryside beyond.

The kitchen is fitted to a high standard in a timeless farmhouse style, featuring cream shaker units, timber worktops, and a terracotta tiled floor. There is ample room for a dining table, creating a sociable and practical heart to the home. A separate utility room, accessed from the front, keeps everyday essentials neatly out of sight, while a conveniently placed downstairs WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, all three bedrooms are comfortable doubles, each offering excellent proportions. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with space for freestanding furniture, its own en suite, and lovely open views. The second bedroom also benefits from an en suite, while the third is a bright and versatile room, ideal as either a twin or a generous double. A well-appointed family bathroom, finished in crisp white with a full-size bath, serves the remaining space.

Outside, the rear garden is a real highlight. A wide stone-paved terrace spans the full width of the sun room, providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, and enjoying the afternoon and evening sun. Beyond, the garden extends into a well-maintained lawn—an excellent size for a village setting—framed by deep, well-stocked borders filled with a variety of shrubs, perennials, and established trees that lend structure and year-round interest. To the front, the single garage offers useful storage or workshop potential, complemented by generous driveway parking.

Bickington is a well-regarded village just a few miles from Barnstaple, offering easy access to a full range of shops, schools, and amenities while retaining a peaceful, rural feel. The stunning North Devon coastline and the fringes of Exmoor are both within easy reach, making this a location that suits both everyday living and weekend escapes. Summers is a home of genuine space and character, set in a location that is as convenient as it is appealing.
