Read the full agent description

A substantial and versatile family home, tucked away at the end of a private lane on Pottington Drive, enjoying a peaceful and secluded position whilst being conveniently located just a short stroll from Barnstaple town centre. The property offers generous and flexible accommodation, ample off-road parking for several vehicles, and beautifully established gardens.

On entering the property, you are welcomed into the entrance porch, which leads through to a central hallway with stairs rising to the first floor and access to the principal ground-floor accommodation. To the left is a particularly spacious dining room, featuring a lovely fireplace and large front-facing windows which allow plenty of natural light to flood the room. This provides an excellent space for family dining and entertaining and leads through into the well-equipped kitchen. The kitchen offers a good range of fitted wall and base units, ample worktop space, a double oven and gas hob, together with space for a washing machine and fridge freezer. There is also direct access onto the rear garden.

To the right of the hallway is a useful snug area which leads through into the generous main lounge. This is a lovely, light and spacious reception room with patio doors opening directly onto the rear garden, creating a wonderful connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces.

The property also benefits from a particularly useful converted former garage area, offering excellent flexibility for a variety of uses. This has previously been arranged as an annexe and currently provides an additional reception/snug room, a double bedroom, shower room and built-in wardrobe, with access towards both the front and rear of the property. There is also a separate workshop, converted from part of the former garage, with convenient access from both the front and rear, providing useful additional storage and workspace.

Upstairs, the accommodation is equally impressive, comprising four double bedrooms and a further single bedroom, making this a superbly spacious home for a large or growing family. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobe space, whilst the remaining bedrooms offer excellent flexibility for family members, guests, hobbies or home working. The first floor is completed by a bathroom and shower facilities, all presented in good order.

Outside, the property continues to impress, with substantial and beautifully established rear gardens featuring several patio areas, generous lawn, mature planting and a useful vegetable patch to the far end. There are also several sheds providing additional storage. The gardens offer plenty of space for outdoor entertaining, children to play and those looking to enjoy a good-sized private garden. To the front, there is ample off-road parking for several vehicles.

Despite its wonderfully quiet and tucked-away position, Sunningdale is within easy reach of Barnstaple town centre, providing excellent access to a wide range of shops, schools, amenities, leisure facilities and transport links. The property therefore offers a particularly appealing combination of space, versatility, privacy and convenience, making the property a substantial and adaptable home with plenty to offer a wide range of buyers.
