4 Bedroom Detached House

Laren House presents a rare opportunity to acquire an impressive four-bedroom detached residence enjoying elevated coastal views. Upon entering the property via a covered entrance porch, you are welcomed into a spacious entrance hall, featuring stairs rising to the first floor and a useful understairs storage area. Positioned at the front of the house is a comfortable sitting room, offering a versatile space that could serve as a cosy snug, home office, or additional reception room.

From the hall, an inner lobby provides excellent storage for coats and shoes and gives access to the ground floor bathroom, which is fitted with a bath with shower over, WC and wash hand basin.

The main living space is a particularly generous lounge/diner, extending into a bay window and offering a wonderful family and entertaining area. A feature coal-effect gas fire creates a focal point, with fitted shelving and storage to either side of the chimney breast. The room is divided by an archway, providing defined lounge and dining areas while retaining an open and sociable feel. Sliding doors lead through to the conservatory, where the elevated position of the property can really be appreciated, with exceptional panoramic views over Westward Ho!, the beach and out to sea. From here, doors open directly onto the rear garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room is well appointed and positioned to take full advantage of the views, with a window looking out across the village towards the beach and coastline. A separate utility room provides further practical space, including plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble dryer, additional storage, a sink unit.

To the first floor, the landing gives access to 4 bedrooms and a shower room. Bedroom 1 is a generous double room with fitted storage, wash hand basin and outstanding elevated views over Westward Ho! beach and the sea beyond. Bedroom 2 is another spacious double with a wash hand basin and built-in storage. Bedroom 3 also enjoys fantastic beach and sea views and includes a wash hand basin, while Bedroom 4 provides a further bedroom, nursery or study. The shower room is fitted with a shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin.

Outside, the property is approached via a good-sized driveway providing parking for approximately 3 to 4 vehicles with an adjoining large double garage that also offers access from the rear garden. The front garden is attractively set behind a natural stone wall with raised flower beds, mature shrubs and planting.

The rear garden is a particularly appealing feature of the home, enjoying impressive elevated beach and sea views from a raised patio area. Steps lead down to a well-maintained level lawn with colourful planted borders, small trees, shrubs and a variety of well-arranged pots. There is also a pea gravel seating area, summer house with decking, useful storage beneath the patio and an outside tap. Access to the rear can be gained from both sides of the property.
From Bideford, proceed towards Westward Ho!, passing Northam village and continuing along Atlantic Way into the village one-way system. At the point where the road splits, bear sharply right into Nelson Road. Continue past the shops and follow the road as it bears to the right, where the property will be found as the penultimate house on the left before rejoining Atlantic Way.
