Goodleigh, Barnstaple, EX32

The Old Rectory is an outstanding example of a Georgian country residence. Approached over a private driveway and leading to gardens and grounds, extending to 0.82a. which surround the house and offer a high level of privacy. A home that encompasses the best combination of contemporary interiors and period details giving the home personality and charisma from the moment you walk inside. Wonderfully decorated and presented throughout, boasting fabulous high ceilings, parquet flooring, galleried landing, and many original features. The overall generous proportions offer plenty of space for entertaining, perfect for modern family living.

This imposing, south facing former Rectory is believed to have been built around 1750 and is positioned so that all the principal rooms take in the views over the Devon countryside. A most attractive home that features the classic architecture of the era.

A large entrance hall leads into a gracious central hallway with an impressive staircase rising to a galleried landing.

Off the central hallway is a downstairs WC and shower and three well-proportioned reception rooms on the ground floor. The Drawing Room features a central fireplace with a wood burner, solid oak flooring and flows into the Dining Room. The Music/Games room could also make a wonderful Study for those looking to work from home. French doors open from all three onto the grounds.

The Kitchen/Breakfast room leads to a useful Utility/Boot Room, and both have a slate floor throughout. The timeless hand-built Kitchen has been completed to a high standard with oak cabinets and granite worktops, double Butler s sink, a large, Aga style dual fuel range, and integrated appliances which include two ovens and two dishwasher drawers. There is further space for a microwave and American style fridge freezer. The Kitchen leads to a light and airy Breakfast room which then opens, through double doors onto a large terrace with both having spectacular, south facing view
