Bigbury, Kingsbridge

Built in the 1990s and extending to over 2,700 sq. ft., this versatile home offers spacious and flexible accommodation arranged over two floors, enjoying stunning valley views and a wonderful rural setting.

Entering through the front door on the ground floor, the welcoming hallway provides access to the first floor via a staircase with useful storage beneath, together with a guest cloakroom. To the left is a generous guest bedroom (Bedroom 1 on the floor plan), a dual-aspect room benefiting from an en-suite shower room and WC. To the right lies the kitchen/dining room, undoubtedly the heart of the home. This impressive dual-aspect space enjoys views over the gardens and features a door leading directly outside. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of matching wall and base units, integrated appliances, and a central island, creating an ideal space for both family living and entertaining. Fully glazed double doors open into the dining room, which enjoys a side-aspect window overlooking the front of the property.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room, fitted with additional storage units, a sink, and space for white goods. From here, steps lead down to the double garage, which is equipped with an electronic up-and-over door.

The first floor is designed to make the most of the property‘s elevated position and far-reaching views. The bright and spacious sitting room features a fireplace and opens through sliding patio doors into the conservatory. Predominantly glazed, the conservatory provides an exceptional year-round living space, complete with underfloor heating, electronically operated roof blinds, pull-down window blinds, and bi-fold doors opening onto a terrace and the side garden.

The principal bedroom enjoys striking views down the valley and benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. Bedroom 3 also includes fitted wardrobes and overlooks the rear of the property, while Bedroom 4 is currently arranged as a home office but could equally serve as a single bedroom. A family bathroom completes the accommodation and is fitted with a bath with shower over, WC, and wash basin.

A long private driveway leads to the property, providing a gravelled parking area and access to the double garage. At the entrance to the drive is additional parking for two vehicles, with potential for a replacement double garage, boathouse, or studio, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The grounds are a particular feature of the property. To the right of the driveway is a level lawn enclosed by mature hedging and timber fencing, while to the left a delightful paved patio provides an attractive space for outdoor dining and relaxation. The gardens extend around and behind the property, incorporating established trees and shrubs. Rising to the south is a charming orchard planted with numerous apple and damson trees, together with a vegetable plot and additional planting. Beyond the garden boundary lies a gently sloping five-acre field, currently grazed by sheep, while a separate paddock contains further fruit trees.
