Nestled in the picturesque village of Kentisbury Ford, less than a mile from the breathtaking western boundary of Exmoor National Park, Kentisbury House is an elegant and substantial four double bedroom detached family sized house, equipped with a double garage, off road parking for numerous vehicles and a charming outlook over the substantial surrounding gardens of approximately 1.75 acres. Built in 1976 by a local builder for his own residence, this distinguished property showcases classic Neo-Georgian architecture, with handsome brick elevations and a striking pillared portico framing the entrance.

The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged over two floors, offering generous proportions, natural hardwood doors, and coved ceilings throughout. A welcoming reception hall leads into the refined living room, where a period-style fireplace with a marble hearth and an LPG woodburner effect fire (available by separate negotiation) creates an inviting ambience. Double doors open into the formal dining room, a perfect space for entertaining, with French doors leading directly onto the terrace.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted to an excellent standard, featuring an electric Rangemaster double oven with an extractor hood, an integrated dishwasher, an American-style fridge/freezer, elegant tall larder cupboards, under-cabinet lighting, and a central island—all beautifully complemented by oak flooring and delightful views across the garden. A spacious laundry room provides additional practicality, with ample storage, plumbing for laundry appliances, and external access. A well-appointed cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Ascending to the first floor, a generous galleried landing leads to the sumptuous principal suite, which boasts a luxurious five-piece en suite bathroom, finished to a superb specification. Three further spacious en suite bedrooms complete the accommodation, each offering comfort and privacy.

Kentisbury House is approached via a tarmac driveway, leading to a detached double garage with a remote-controlled door and ample parking/turning space.

The beautifully landscaped gardens, extending to almost 1¾ acres, are a true sanctuary. A wide flight of steps leads from the terrace to the expansive lawns, which sweep down towards an ornamental lake—a haven for wildlife including ducks and migrating geese. A meandering stream flows through the grounds, accompanied by a serene woodland area on the far side, creating an enchanting natural retreat.

With its timeless elegance, exceptional living space, and idyllic surroundings, Kentisbury House presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of distinction in one of North Devon's most sought-after locations.
