Set along one of Braunton's most prestigious roads, this individual detached chalet-style residence offers an exceptional blend of space, versatility and privacy, all within easy reach of the village and surrounding countryside.
The heart of the home is a striking open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with doors opening directly onto an extensive south-facing sun deck, partially covered and incorporating a well-designed outdoor kitchen. From here, the outlook is across the beautifully established rear garden and beyond towards the Taw Estuary and Braunton Burrows, creating a superb backdrop for alfresco dining and summer evenings.
The accommodation is both generous and flexible, offering four well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, together with a first-floor TV lounge / occasional fifth bedroom, providing genuine scope for multi-generational living or dual occupation, if required.
To the first floor, the elevated position allows for particularly attractive views, taking in the estuary, Braunton Burrows and glimpses of the coastline, enjoyed from both the principal bedroom and the sitting/TV area. These views add a real sense of space and connection to the surrounding landscape, rarely found so close to the village centre.
Outside, the property enjoys mature, secluded walled gardens, thoughtfully arranged as a series of private outdoor rooms. The gardens have clearly been curated with care and offer a wide variety of established planting, specimen trees and shrubs, providing colour, interest and privacy throughout the year. Lawned areas are interspersed with terraced seating spaces, creating different areas to enjoy the sun or shade as the day progresses, while still remaining largely level and easy to maintain.
A detached large garage, ample private parking including space for a motorhome or boat, and extensive storage complete the outside offering.
The location is outstanding. Higher Park Road is widely regarded as one of Braunton's most desirable residential addresses, within easy walking distance of the village centre and amenities, while offering immediate access to open countryside. Braunton provides an excellent range of local facilities, with the renowned beaches of Saunton and Croyde, Braunton Burrows UNESCO Biosphere and Exmoor National Park all within easy reach.
Originally dating from the 1960s and comprehensively remodelled and extended in 2013/14, the property now offers a high level of insulation and energy efficiency, reflected in an EPC rating of B. The detached garage also offers further potential for ancillary accommodation or workspace, subject to the necessary consents.
A rare opportunity to acquire a highly individual home in one of Braunton's finest locations.
