Tucked away in the countryside yet incredibly well connected, it offers that rare balance of complete peace with everyday convenience. The M4 makes commuting to Bristol, Cardiff or Newport easy, the train station offers free parking, and The Grange hospital is less than ten minutes away. I can be in Usk, Hereford or exploring the Wye Valley with ease, yet when I am home it feels wonderfully private, calm and secure, with no immediate neighbours and a real sense of seclusion.From the outset, I committed to doing everything properly. After commissioning a full survey, I systematically completed all recommended works: a new roof with added insulation, double-glazed windows throughout, full rewiring and replumbing, a new heating system with the oil tank relocated to a safer position, solar panels, and fully relevelled floors. The result is a warm, efficient bungalow that has been comprehensively modernised.

Bi-fold doors open from the lounge onto the patio, drawing the outside in and making summer living a joy. The kitchen diner is always a favourite with guests, filled with morning sunshine and perfect for family life or entertaining.The land is a huge advantage, with barns and stables and no agricultural tie, allowing complete flexibility of use. I have landscaped and securely fenced the garden, making it ideal for dogs, and improved the land with new fencing and additional trees. The large driveway offers plenty of parking, while the barn and stable offer great potential and flexibility for a multitude of uses. With so much land and set down a private drive at the top of the hill, Bryn Cwrt offers space, freedom and tranquillity – all while remaining effortlessly connected to real life.///diplomas.transmit.extensive

Converted in 1996 to exacting standards this stone and cob character home sits on the edge of this rural village with its ancient priory mentioned in the Doomsday book and with the shopping and education centres of both the market town of Great Torrington and the sea port of Bideford being 3 miles and 6 miles distant respectively. Passing the wrought iron gates into the drive you get a real sense of what this home is all about with the parking for about a dozen or so vehicles in front and the view stretching off into the distance beyond. Being of an L shape design at firstsight it is hard to imagine the amount of space that lies within but entering into the reception hall the journey begins, with a vaulted galleried landing on the firstfloorabove.

The garden room gives panoramic views over the rolling Devon countryside to Exmoor in the far distance and being on the eastern side is a great way to enjoy the rising of the sun of a morning. Both this room and the sitting room link with the kitchen/breakfast room thus creating a wonderful flowfor entertaining friends and family. The kitchen/breakfast room has a floorto ceiling set of windows making the most of the distant view and has an extensive range of wall, floorand drawer units with associated work tops and there is ample space for a farmhouse style kitchen table and chairs.

This room links with yet another double room which has an en suite shower room and this part of the home lends itself to being an annexe as there are doors from not only here, but also from the 22’ music and hobbies room beyond, to the parking and driveway out front. This room has a run of work surface cupboards and sink on one wall.A straight run of stairs leads to the firstfloorwhere a double aspect 22’ bedroom suite is found immediately on the left, having a run of built in cupboards and wardrobes facing, and uninterrupted views from the windows and window seats, over the rolling countryside. At the other end of the landing is 17’ double aspect room that would work very well as a bedroom with ample space for a desk and chairs, or space for teenagers to have a gaming area.
