Bratton Fleming, Barnstaple

A beautifully presented and highly versatile three-bedroom detached bungalow, tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac within the popular countryside village of Bratton Fleming, on the fringes of Exmoor National Park.

This lovely home offers spacious and adaptable accommodation, generous private gardens, ample parking and the added benefit of a self-contained annexe area, making it particularly well suited to multi-generational living, visiting family or guests.

Situated in a peaceful village setting, the property also offers an enviable lifestyle for those who enjoy the outdoors. Just a five-minute stroll from the house you can be in the local woodland, providing the perfect setting for dog walks, leisurely strolls and enjoying the abundance of local wildlife. Exmoor National Park is also less than a 10-minute drive away, offering miles of spectacular countryside, walking routes and beautiful scenery to explore. In the opposite direction, approximately 10 minutes by car brings you into Barnstaple, providing a wide range of everyday amenities, shops, schools, leisure facilities and transport links.

Bratton Fleming itself is a charming countryside village with a wonderful community atmosphere, offering a lovely balance of rural tranquillity and an active village life. The village hall provides a hub for a variety of local activities and events, including a monthly market where locally produced meat, vegetables and other goods can be purchased, as well as a popular weekly coffee and cake gathering held in aid of different charities. There are also a number of clubs and activities taking place within the village, including a gardening club, Pilates and short mat bowls, providing plenty of opportunities to meet and socialise with other members of the community. A monthly market is also held at the village hall in nearby Brayford.

Further adding to the community spirit, a new community project has recently opened at Chelfham, developing the site of the former school. The project offers coffee and snacks and is keen to involve local residents in a variety of events and activities, providing another welcoming space for the surrounding community.

All of this makes Bratton Fleming an appealing location for those looking to enjoy a quieter pace of life, surrounded by beautiful countryside, while still having plenty of opportunities to become involved in village life and without feeling isolated.

On entering, you are welcomed into a spacious open hallway which immediately creates a light and airy feel. The lounge is a comfortable reception room with a large front-facing window allowing plenty of natural light to flood in, while a wood-burning stove, installed by the current owners, provides a cosy focal point.

The flexible layout continues from the hallway, with two interconnecting bedrooms offering a variety of options depending on your needs. Internal access leads through to the annexe area, which provides excellent versatility. Here you will find a well-presented bedroom with en-suite shower room, an additional reception room currently used as a sitting room, and a separate kitchen fitted with wall and base units, sink and drainer and built-in oven. A door leads directly out to the rear garden, making this an excellent space for independent living, extended family or guests.

Towards the far end of the bungalow is the principal bedroom, complete with built-in wardrobes, alongside a three-piece family bathroom.

To the rear of the property is the impressive kitchen/dining room, forming a wonderful hub of the home. Presented in excellent order, the kitchen features a built-in double oven, microwave and hob, together with space for additional appliances. A window overlooks the garden, while the bright glazed dining area benefits from French doors opening directly onto the outside space, creating a lovely connection between the home and garden.

Outside, the beautifully maintained gardens are both private and generous. The rear garden features mature borders, a lawn and patio seating area, together with space for sheds. To the side is further seating and a greenhouse, while access leads around to the front of the property where there is additional lawn, a pond and ample off-road parking for three vehicles.

A wonderfully adaptable and well-presented home offering the perfect combination of peaceful village living, beautiful countryside on the doorstep, an active and welcoming local community, and convenient access Barnstaple and Exmoor.
