2 Bed Detached House For Sale

Tucked away at the beginning of the village of Goodleigh, this delightful two-bedroom semi-detached cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully updated rural home in a truly beautiful setting. Positioned away just up a peaceful track lane, the property enjoys a wonderfully secluded position with lovely views over the village below and far-reaching countryside views stretching in all directions.

The current owners have updated the cottage throughout, blending contemporary comfort with traditional charm. In addition, planning permission has been granted for a two-storey extension, with the addition of 2 double bedrooms, an open plan kitchen/diner and a playroom, offering scope for further enhancement and the chance to tailor the home to suit a growing family’s needs or those seeking additional space.

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by a useful porch area, ideal for coats and boots, which then leads into a galley kitchen – this is the only room the current owners have not updated as part of the planning for the extension would see this room change significantly. From here, a door opens into the main sitting/dining room, a warm and inviting space featuring a wood burner. Off this room is a useful cloakroom.

Upstairs, the cottage offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms. There is also a room currently used as a home office. A four-piece suite family bathroom completes the upper floor, finished to a high standard and offering both a bath and separate shower for added convenience.

The property sits in grounds extending to approximately one acre, enjoying a slightly elevated position that lends itself to the breath-taking panoramic outlooks on offer. The current owners have made notable improvements to the land, including efforts to level parts of the garden for easier use. A productive vegetable patch has been established, and at the top of the garden, one can enjoy truly exceptional views across the countryside and back towards the heart of Goodleigh village.

Additional benefits include a recently installed air source heat pump, helping to improve the home’s energy efficiency, and solar panels that further support sustainable living. A useful outbuilding provides space for white goods and doubles as a workshop, offering excellent versatility. There is ample off-road parking for several vehicles.

Situated just a few miles from Barnstaple, the cottage is well placed for access to local amenities, schools, and transport links, while retaining a peaceful, countryside feel. Offering both charm and potential in equal measure, this is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a well-presented home in a picturesque setting.
