** SUPERB COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS **

Occupying a delightful position on the periphery of the highly sought-after coastal village of Berrynarbor, Brackenberry House is an enchanting detached residence offering beautifully balanced family accommodation, characterful interiors and truly exceptional gardens. Combining the charm of a traditional home with the benefits of thoughtful modernisation, this wonderful property presents a rare opportunity to embrace a lifestyle defined by tranquillity, nature and village living.

Lovingly maintained and enhanced by the current owners, the home has been tastefully decorated throughout and benefits from numerous improvements including updated electrics and replacement guttering, providing a reassuring blend of character and practicality. Rich in period charm, the property retains a wealth of attractive features that create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, whilst the well-proportioned accommodation has been designed to suit the needs of modern family life.

The ground floor offers a superb range of reception spaces, including a comfortable lounge, a generous kitchen, a separate dining room ideal for entertaining, and a versatile study perfect for home working. A practical utility room, cloakroom and welcoming porch further enhance the functionality of the home.

To the first floor are four bedrooms, comprising three generous double rooms and a fourth single bedroom. The principal suite provides a luxurious retreat, complete with its own en-suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe. The remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

Whilst the house itself is undoubtedly impressive, it is the magnificent gardens that truly set Brackenberry House apart. Wrapping around the property and enjoying a high degree of privacy, the grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of beautiful outdoor spaces. An abundance of flowering plants, mature shrubs, specimen trees and lush vegetation combine to produce a garden of exceptional beauty and year-round interest.

A haven for wildlife, the gardens attract a rich variety of birds and native species, creating a peaceful sanctuary where nature can be enjoyed in complete tranquillity. Whether relaxing amongst the colourful planting, entertaining family and friends, or simply enjoying the sounds of birdsong, the outdoor environment offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. Within the grounds of the garden, there are four stone outbuildings, ideal for storage. The property comes with off street parking for multiple cars.

Brackenberry House is far more than simply a home; it is an opportunity to embrace a slower pace of life in one of North Devon's most desirable village settings. Perfectly suited to families, those seeking a countryside retreat, or buyers looking to make a genuine lifestyle change, this is a property that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
