Read the full agent description
Located in the heart of the popular village of Bickington, Orchard View is a charming two-bedroom character cottage that blends traditional features with a practical, open-plan layout. The property is tucked away just a short distance from local amenities and transport links into Barnstaple.
Stepping over the threshold, you are welcomed by a generous kitchen and dining room with tiled flooring and exposed ceiling beams that add a sense of history. The kitchen is well-equipped with plenty of shelving and workspace, leading into a bright dining area where double doors open directly onto the private courtyard. Adjacent to this is a cosy living room, centred around a characterful brick fireplace with a feature wood-burning stove and a chunky timber mantle, creating a perfect spot for relaxing evenings.
Upstairs, the cottage offers two well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a spacious double with integrated storage, while the second bedroom provides a flexible space currently used as a child’s room but equally suited as a guest double or home office. The family bathroom is neatly appointed with a full-length bath and a separate walk-in shower cubicle, finished with classic tiling and exposed beams.
Externally, the property benefits from an additional separate garden access through a shared walkway which has the potential to be a gardener's dream. Additionally, the property includes an en bloc garage for good storage and parking nearby, a valuable benefit for a village home. With its combination of cottage charm and functional living spaces, Orchard View represents a fantastic opportunity for first-time buyers, small families, or those looking for a characterful investment in North Devon.
The property is perfectly placed to enjoy the best of village life, with a local post office, primary school, and a popular pub all within walking distance, alongside easy access to the Tarka Trail for scenic walks and cycles. For more extensive needs, the amenities of Barnstaple and the major supermarkets at Roundswell are just a short drive or bus ride away, while the stunning North Devon coastline remains within easy reach.
