This bespoke and versatile 5/6 bedroom home was built to an exceptional standard in 2006 and is situated on Durrant Lane, a serene and highly sought-after private road between Northam and Bideford. The lane comprises several highly individual properties and is in close proximity to the estuary and the coastal footpath offering picturesque walks.

The impressive and modern exterior of the house, with its white rendering, is perfectly complimented by ThermoWood cladding and contrasting slate window sills complete the contemporary look of this environmentally conscious property which boasts high levels of insulation and PV solar panels equipped with "Nest Smart" controls, ensuring low heating and running costs.

Dyers Lookout boasts high-end fixtures and fittings throughout, such as American white oak flooring in the principal reception rooms and in the staircases, quality tiled bathrooms, and a well equipped Kitchen with quality units, granite worktops and integrated appliances. The entire property exudes a feeling of quality, light, and airiness, making it ideal for families or those looking for dual occupancy.

As one enters the grand reception hall, with its double-height ceilings, full height windows and galleried landing above, the unique nature of this home becomes immediately apparent. The accommodation is cleverly divided into two directions, with large double doors to the left leading to an impressive dining room that offers stunning estuary views through its french windows. This room, in turn, leads to both the kitchen/breakfast room and the lounge.

The kitchen/breakfast room offers estuary views and features French doors which lead onto a charming outside patio & seating area. The triple aspect lounge is equally impressive, with large bi-fold doors enjoying estuary views and leading onto an adjoining timber decked balcony. For the winter months, an attractive inset Stovax wood-burning stove provides a central focal point.

To the right of the reception hall is the well appointed bedroom 5/study, a useful utility room, and a shower room. The configuration of the accommodation here would lend itself to create a granny annexe or space for independent children.

The galleried landing provides access to the 3 principle double bedrooms, two with en-suites, and a well-appointed family bathroom. The dual aspect master bedroom enjoys estuary views with its floor-to-ceiling windows.
Located off a half landing is the 4th double bedroom, which serves as an ideal guest room, with a large and well-appointed en-suite bathroom.

A staircase to the second floor provides access to bedroom 6 , which is currently used as a home office/hobbies room.

The sweeping "in and out" driveway at the front of the property features two pairs of entrance gates and a large lawned garden with a central 250-year-old London Plane tree, numerous attractive flowers & shrub borders, bushes & specimen trees, a productive vegetable garden, and a further patio seating area adjoining the kitchen, perfect for BBQs.
A detached two-storey double garage with two up & over doors, power, light and electric car charging point, has the benefit of a loft room over which is accessed via an external staircase and is considered to offer the potential to convert to additional accommodation.

The house also boasts a spacious paved seating area that benefits from a sunny south-facing aspect, an area of formal lawn, a large paved patio with a purpose-built summerhouse with an adjoining shed, providing an ideal area to enjoy the afternoon sun. A gate provides direct access to the Southwest Coastal path.
