Description:
An extended detached 4 bed., 4 rec., Edwardian house in timeless, tranquil location on the edge of this favoured Exmoor village
SITUATION AND AMENITIES
Evenlode is set within the boundary of Exmoor National Park on the edge of the sought after village of Parracombe which offers a highly regarded local primary school, The Fox and Goose Inn with a reputation for good food, as well as Post Office and store. Literally on the doorstep, there is access to many miles of footpaths across Exmoor and a little further a field is the rugged North Devon coastline, as well as the safe, sandy surfing beaches at Croyde and Woolacombe. A few miles away are the twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth, linked by the famous Victorian Cliff Railway and offering more extensive shopping facilities and amenities. Barnstaple is about 11 miles, and as the regional centre, provides the areas main business, commercial, leisure and shopping venues. North Devon District Hospital is just on the periphery of the town. The North Devon Link Road (A361) is also convenient and offers a fast route to the M5 at Junction 27 (Tiverton) and the Motorway Network beyond. A National Mainline Railway line links Barnstaple with Exeter to St Davids with further connecting services to London and beyond and to Exeter central for the excellent shopping facilities.
DESCRIPTION
Evenlode comprises a detached two storey residence originally understood to date from the Edwardian era, circa 1911, but skilfully extended in keeping in 1980, and with the benefit of planning permission to extend further. The property presents elevations of colourwash pebble dash render beneath a tiled roof. The house already offers versatile accommodation, which, in addition to its current use as a family house, also offers potential for dual occupation or a variety of home / income uses. Most principal rooms enjoy a delightful outlook with the church steeple in the foreground and views down the valley across Exmoor beyond. The current owners have happily resided at the property for 34 years, which is testament in itself to the fact that Evenlode makes an excellent family home.
