Newnham Bridge, Umberleigh

Fortesque House sits in a peaceful spot on the edge of Umberleigh, surrounded by open countryside and far-reaching rural views.

Stepping over the threshold into the entrance hallway, to the left is a bright, contemporary open-plan kitchen and dining room. Clean-lined units and modern worktops give the space a crisp feel, while integrated appliances include a dishwasher, fridge freezer, oven and hob. There is room for additional appliances if required, along with generous space for a six-seater dining table. High ceilings and front-facing views make this a light, sociable room that works equally well for everyday life and entertaining.

Opposite, the open-plan living and dining area offers flexibility in how the space is used. It comfortably accommodates a large sofa or corner suite, with room left over for a dining area or additional seating. Patio doors open directly onto the garden, creating an easy connection between inside and out. This space could also work well as a playroom, home office or second reception room depending on your needs.

The ground floor is completed by a shower room which also incorporates utility space, making good use of storage without compromising on practicality.

On the first floor are two generous double bedrooms. The main bedroom benefits from dual-aspect windows and plenty of space for freestanding furniture. The second bedroom is another well-proportioned double, featuring built-in floor-to-ceiling wardrobes and views to the front. The family bathroom is fitted with a modern three-piece suite, including a bath with overhead shower, finished with stylish tiling. An airing cupboard and additional built-in storage on the landing add further convenience.

The second floor provides a versatile additional space, currently arranged as a snug or playroom. With Velux windows framing beautiful countryside views and allowing in plenty of natural light, this room would also make an excellent bedroom. Two further storage cupboards enhance the practicality of this level.

Outside, the garden sits to the side of the property and is fully enclosed with high fencing. Designed to be low maintenance, it offers a mix of patio and lawn space with room for outdoor furniture and storage. Parking is provided by a driveway for two vehicles, along with a garage that can be used for storage or additional parking.

The property is well positioned close to Kings Nympton train station, with local pubs nearby and supermarkets just a short drive away. Set within the wider Umberleigh area, the surrounding countryside offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy nature and outdoor living.
