The property is accessed from the lane and offers ample off-road parking for numerous cars. A gate leads to the side of the property, where a brick-paved drive extends to a detached oak-framed double garage, complete with power and light. To the front and rear of the garage are outside taps. The drive continues to the rear garden, accessed via a small bridge crossing a charming stream formed from runoff water from neighbouring fields. This feature enhances the garden, which is mainly laid to lawn and includes a variety of mature plants and trees, as well as a cobbled area perfect for outdoor dining. The garden enjoys picturesque views of neighbouring fields. An additional five-bar gate provides access to an extra parking area.<br/>From our office proceed out of town over the long bridge in the direction of Bideford. At the large roundabout continue straight over up Sticklepath Hill then take the next left and follow the signs to Lake. Continue through Lake passing the telephone box on the left hand side, go over the small bridge and you take the first left hand turn (after The Smythy) down a small lane, then the property is the first on the left.
