Lagoon View, West Yelland, Barnstaple, Devon, EX31

Tucked away at the end of Lagoon View is this spacious and versatile five-bedroom detached family home that enjoys a particularly private setting, backing on to open fields and benefiting from a sunny, south-facing rear garden. Yelland sits perfectly between Bideford and Barnstaple, with the Tarka Trail close by for level walking and cycling along the Taw–Torridge Estuary.

On approach, a neat frontage and driveway provide off-road parking for a couple of vehicles. A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for the generous proportions throughout. To the rear, the heart of the home is a large kitchen/dining room, complete with patio doors that draw in the light and open directly to the south-facing garden. A door from here leads through to a wonderfully spacious living room; its size and aspect make it a comfortable space.

Practicality is well catered for with a utility room and a separate WC. The former single garage has been thoughtfully converted to create the fifth bedroom on the ground floor, offering great flexibility— ideal to accommodate a dependent relative, guest accommodation, playroom, home office or studio, as needs change over time.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress. There are four further bedrooms, three of which are generous doubles, together with a well-proportioned single bedroom fitted with wardrobes. Serving these rooms is a smart, recently refitted, modern three-piece suite bathroom.

Outside, the rear garden is a genuine highlight. Facing south and enjoying a high degree of privacy, it has been arranged to make the most of the sunlight with a broad paved patio, leading onto a level lawned area. A large timber-framed storage shed provides excellent space for bikes, boards and garden equipment, and there is useful side pedestrian access.

In all, 40 Lagoon View combines a quiet end-of-development position, open green outlook and a flexible five-bedroom layout with practical parking and a sun-trap garden. With Barnstaple and Bideford close at hand for shops, schools and services—and the Tarka Trail virtually on the doorstep—this is a superb family home in a sought-after North Devon location.
