3 bedroom house

An individual converted barn of exceptional character in a truly delightful, south-facing position overlooking the beautiful river Mole valley. In all, just under an acre.

North Woodhouse is located high above the river Mole valley from where truly beautiful views are enjoyed over unspoilt countryside. It is surrounded by open farmland on which there is a complete ban on any form of hunting making it a veritable mecca for all manner of wildlife with deer and foxes being frequent visitors. For astronomers, the lack of light pollution leads to wonderfully dark night skies.
The property is of traditional stone construction with attractive brick quoins and features, beneath a slate roof. It is oil-fired centrally heated, has wooden double glazed windows and is offered for sale with IMMEDIATE VACANT POSSESSION.
Please refer to the attached floorplan and the accommodation comprises:
The LIVING ROOM is a superb room with vaulted ceiling, a Godin Colonial wood burner on a slate hearth and two sets of bi-folding doors to the front terrace. A brick archway leads to the dining hall whilst at each end of the living room is an “open en-suite” BEDROOM, both enjoying similar southerly views over the surrounding countryside.
The ENTRANCE DINING HALL is a room of exceptional character with Sandstone floor tiles, exposed local stone/brick wall, a roof light and bi-folding doors to the rear elevation.
It also has a door to the largest of the three bedrooms, again an “open en-suite” room with windows to the side and rear.
Generously-sized KITCHEN well-fitted with a range of “Shaker-style” units including a 1.5 bowl sink and adjoining wood-block work tops. Rangemaster “Infusion” range-style cooker and recess for “American-style” fridge/freezer. Matching Sandstone flooring which extends to the LOBBY with ample coat hanging space.

The property is located half a mile or so from Alswear, a small village some 2.5 miles from the market town of South Molton with its range of local shops, schools, restaurants, public houses, a health centre, library, and a cottage hospital. The nearby A361 North Devon Link Road provides easy access to the regional centre of Barnstaple to the North West and Tiverton/M5/mainline rail links (Tiverton Parkway) to the south-east.
Alswear itself is surrounded by rolling North Devon countryside which provides a wealth of recreational activities including walking, horse riding, cycling, fishing on the rivers Mole and Taw, hunting, shooting and nearby golf courses at High Bullen, Tiverton and Barnstaple. Exmoor National Park lies to the north and offers beautiful moorland scenery with many foot and bridle paths, whilst the spectacular North Devon coast with its pretty villages and popular sandy beaches is only about 45 minutes’ drive away.

OUTSIDE: The property is approached off a shared concrete lane (maintenance divided equally between the owner and three neighbours) over a hard-core topped entrance drive which leads to a parking area to the western side of the dwelling.
OPEN-FRONTED GARAGE/ BARN (36ft x 28ft approx.) GI construction with electricity/water connected.
To the rear of the property is a most private, semi-circular shaped brick-paved terrace whilst to the front is a further brick-paved terrace, this one being full-width (circa 40ft) and south-facing. Beyond the terrace, the gardens are gently sloping, informally lawned and bounded by post and rail fencing. CEDAR SUMMER HOUSE.
A brick pathway leads from the terrace to the PADDOCK from where, far-reaching south-easterly views are enjoyed.
In total, the property extends to JUST UNDER ONE ACRE.
