Accommodation

Stepping through the front door and into the middle level of accommodation, you are greeted with an open entrance flowing through to the kitchen and with stairs just to the left. An office to the front aspect is also to the left, but this spacious room could easily be utilised as a playroom/further dining area. To the right of the entrance is a large and useful storage cupboard, presenting obvious potential to create a cloakroom.

Recently refitted to a high specification is a stunning open kitchen, which comes well equipped with an abundance of wall and base units and drawers for storage. Furthermore, there is ample work surface space and built-in appliances to include a dishwasher and ‘Smeg’ eye level double electric oven. A large breakfast bar provides a deep worktop space, including a ‘Neff’ induction hob. The window to the rear aspect is paired with another window opposite to the front elevation, creating a bright double aspect spanning the entire depth of the middle floor across the kitchen. Space is provided for an American style double fridge freezer above the stairs, and this modern, contemporary layout is perfectly suited for 21st century family living.

The breakfast bar allows for an informal dining area, while it also flows into a pleasant sitting room, perfect for entertaining and socialising. Double doors from here open out to the balcony, which spans across the width of the house and is around 3 metres deep. You can enjoy superb elevated views of the garden and adjoining countryside, with steps leading down to the garden below.

From the entrance hallway, stairs rise both to the first floor above and lower ground floor below. Upstairs is a small landing presenting two double bedrooms which are almost identical in size, both with two Velux windows. A bathroom in between serves them both and has been recently upgraded to include a WC, wash hand basin, and a bath underneath another large Velux window.

The lower ground floor has more versatile accommodation which includes a large store room, previously utilised as a games room, and flowing into a separate useful laundry room. This whole space has potential to be much more with some imagination and a little investment, but as is, provides a great area for storage and a hidden space to keep noisy appliances away from the kitchen. The main bedroom is downstairs and is a generous double room looking towards the garden, while bedroom two is another good size double but also with an extended reception area on the back. In turn, this creates more flexibility to utilise this whole area as a reception room or office, although the current owner has arranged this as an extension to bedroom two. A shower room serves the lower ground floor and benefits from a white suite to include a WC, wash hand basin, and enclosed shower cubicle.

Outside & parking

A hardstanding area to the front of the home provides off-road parking for two vehicles. Further parking on street is available and unrestricted. There is a small hedgerow border to the left with a low maintenance area of shingle, decorated with potted plants and an attractive palm tree. Access to the rear can be found to the right hand side with steps leading down towards the garden at the back.

A large balcony spanning the width of the property adjoins the back of the ground floor with steps down to the garden over the lower ground floor. There is a hardstanding area underneath with an adjoining lawn and short boardwalk trail leading to the rest of the garden. This established outside space offers excellent privacy and also with a beautiful landscape of sloping countryside at the rear. The plot is just over quarter of an acre and features a charming little stream running through the centre, while there is an abundance of trees and mature shrubbery adding an array of colour to the garden, where at the back is a large area of lawn with scope to create yet more beautiful space. The elevated views from the back of the home really do paint the picture of a unique, peaceful rural setting, despite the coastal position and offering the very best of both worlds.

Location

Hazel Avenue is situated pleasantly within a 10 minute walk to the centre of Braunton. The road itself is a desirable residential area with a range of different property styles, making for an appealing spot. No.17’s rear plot backs onto the grounds of the 15th century ruin, St Michael’s Chapel. The remains of this local historic landmark is built at the top of sloping farmland which is now protected and creating an attractive landscape from the rear of the property. This coastal village benefits from plenty of amenities, including a supermarket, pubs, cafes and restaurants, independent retailers, a medical centre, cricket and football clubs as well as both primary and secondary schooling.

Braunton Burrows is easily accessible, and from here you can enjoy endless walks and trails across the largest sand dune system in England. There are over 1000 hectares to explore, perfect for active walkers, runners and family days out. The Tarka Trail can be found also with easy access with a flat and scenic route along to Barnstaple and beyond. Famous sandy beaches of Saunton (including championship golf course), Woolacombe and Croyde are close by and are a surfer’s paradise.

Barnstaple, which is widely regarded as the regional centre of North Devon is a few miles up the road and also provides a wider range of shopping facilities and amenities, as well as transport links onto the A39 towards the Cornish border and the A361 directing you towards Junction 27 of the M5 network. There is also a railwork to Exeter St Davids, as well as fast train services from Tiverton Parkway to London Paddington.
