Set in the pretty, scattered rural hamlet at Lower Loxhore, this delightful stone barn conversion, with rural outlook, is beautifully presented and been tastefully upgraded over the years, with its Endless Exercise Pool, and solar panels to provide power and energy for it. Fitness room/Studio, garage/workshop, enclosed garden and terrace all double glazed and also with oil central heating.

The area is rich in footpaths and rural lanes, for those that enjoy walking with, just to the north, the Arlington Court Estate, formerly the home of the Chichester family of round the world Yacht race fame and their ancestors but more recently by the National Trust. It has acres of rolling parkland, mature woodland walks and stunning gardens with lakes.

The property is just over a mile from the main Barnstaple to Bratton Fleming road with Bratton, centred around its ancient parish Church with primary school and village shop being about 2 miles.

To the south, Barnstaple, about 7 miles is the ancient borough and administrative centre for North Devon offering a comprehensive range of both business and leisure facilities including the Green Lanes Shopping Centre, out of town superstores, live theatre, leisure centre, tennis courts and access onto the A361 North Devon Link Road which provides much improved communications to and from the North Devon area connecting directly as it does through to Jctn 27 on the M5 motorway to the east side of Tiverton, where there is also the Parkway Railway Station from where journey times to London/Paddington are approximately 2 hours distant.

Some 10 - 12 miles to the west of the property is the dramatic North Devon coastline at Saunton, Croyde, Putsborough and Woolacombe with sandy beaches, surfing, sailing, swimming, fishing, microlight various golf courses and other associated facilities. To the east, again 5 miles is the Exmoor National Park with its massive expanse of heather clad moorlands offering stunning riding and walking country.

A pretty detached stone barn conversion in this quiet rural hamlet. Elevated and with glimpses of fields between the woodland and beyond the gardens where there are often small herds of the local red deer seen grazing.

Approached through a pair of tall wooden gates to off road car parking to the front of the garage/workshop, where the Storage batteries are housed and an ev charge point could be installed as there is capacity.
