Sycamore Close, Instow

Nestled within a generous third of an acre plot in the highly sought-after coastal village of Instow, number 2 Sycamore Close is an impressive exeuctive, five bedroom detached residence that offers an exciting opportunity whether as a spacious family home or a second home right on the coast.

Bought from new over 30 years ago this property has never been to the market and also includes a large amount of land at the front, which could easily provide scope to partition off as a separate building plot (subject to planning permission).

Featuring five bedrooms, three bathrooms, four reception rooms, double garage and a large kitchen / breakfast room the property is positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac just moments from Instow beach. Upstairs there is a wonderful balcony that faces west and stretches across the majority of the front of the house, perfect to both relax on or to enjoy with a glass or two of wine at sunset.

Instow itself is highly desirable desirable with sandy beaches, watersports, coastal walks, welcoming pubs, and excellent local amenities. Nearby connections to Bideford, Barnstaple, and the North Devon link road make this an accessible and well-connected location.

Step Inside
A welcoming entrance hall with staircase leads you into a bright and spacious home, where the sitting room enjoys garden views to the front through large windows and French doors, filling the space with natural light. The room continues into an additional seating area which would make an ideal play room or snug.

The kitchen / breakfast room is the heart of the home, perfect for preparing meals, hosting gatherings, or enjoying relaxed family time and continues into an adjoining utility room with door leading out to the rear garden.

A versatile study or home office on the ground floor offers flexibility and there is also a separate formal dining room which is positioned to the right of the main hall. Finally a downstairs cloakroom concludes the space.

Upstairs, five well-sized bedrooms provide comfortable retreats, including a master bedroom with en-suite and walk in wardrobe/ dressing area. A modern family bathroom serves the additional bedrooms, making this an ideal setup for both family living and hosting guests.

One of the standout features of the property is the direct access from the open landing onto a large balcony which stretches across the front of the house. Facing west this also provides a perfect place to enjoy those beautiful sunsets that set over Lundy Island complimented with a glass of wine.

Step Outside
Set within a generous 1/3 acre plot with the land mainly positioned to the front of the house, the grounds offer beautifully maintained gardens, mature trees, and plenty of open lawn. There’s a sweeping driveway providing access to the double garage with a covered storm porch patio for shade and there is a side access across either side of the property with ample space for gardening and a fruit orchard to the rear.

The location is just as special: from the garden, it’s a short stroll to the stunning Instow Beach, where you can enjoy sand, sea, and estuary views, along with cafés, pubs, and the renowned Tarka Trail for walking and cycling.
