Number 2 Chichester Close offers a stunning family home that is situated in a highly desirable location atop of Instow, offering breathtaking views of the picturesque vista. A modern contemporary design and offering large, living/reception rooms and boasting 4 spacious bedrooms, with the possibility of converting an additional room into a fifth bedroom if desired, the property has generous, adaptable and versatile living space. Currently the property is laid out in a reverse living style with the main living space being on the first floor. Naturally, the main living rooms enjoy far-reaching panoramic views of the estuary and out to sea. The lounge is a particularly good sized room with a wood burner style fire creating a focal point to the room.

This leads to the conservatory/sunroom which enjoys the phenomenal views, arguably, some of the best you see in the village. Enjoying a Westerly aspect with a 180° view of the vista, you will enjoy some fantastic sunsets. The sunroom leads onto a pleasant sun soaked decking area perfect for evening entertaining. The sunroom also wraps round to the dining room which is perfect space for entertaining family and friends.

To the rear of the property is a breakfast room, used as a further reception room which has double doors leading out onto the rear decking. This area enjoys the majority of the morning sunlight, perfect for your breakfast coffees or alfresco dining. Also on this floor is the main bedroom which is a well proportioned room with adjoining ensuite shower room with plenty of built-in wardrobes. There is a rather handy separate WC and utility room with plenty of worktop and storage space.

Overall, properties in locations like this don't come to the market often, be sure to contact our branches for more information and to arrange your viewing appointment.

The rest of the bedrooms are situated on the ground floor, all of which are very good proportions and suitable double sized bedrooms. The second bedroom is a particularly good size with an ensuite and mirrors a similar proportion to bedroom one. One of the bedrooms on the ground floor is currently a library but could host a plethora of uses. Ideal for those of you seeking a spot to work from home.

The ever-popular village of Instow perfectly epitomises North Devon as the rolling countryside meets the coast. The village itself boasts a glorious, sandy riverside beach, backed by dunes, popular among families, dog walkers and water-sports enthusiasts alike. Offering a plethora of award-winning restaurants, cafes, and a well-regarded local delicatessen, could also be considered a foodie's paradise.
