5 Bed in Goodleigh (oc-h34606)

With its flagstone floors, exposed beams, and impressive inglenook fireplace, this beautifully characterful home offers a warm and welcoming escape in the Devon countryside. Sleeping up to nine guests across five bedrooms, it’s ideal for large family gatherings or group getaways, all set in a peaceful rural location within the picturesque village of Goodleigh, just 3 miles from Barnstaple. A much-loved village pub is only a short stroll away, renowned for its excellent food and friendly atmosphere. The surrounding area is perfect for exploring, whether you’re cycling or walking along the traffic-free Tarka Trail (3 miles), enjoying long beach days at the golden sands of Saunton Sands (10 miles), or planning a fun-filled family outing to Exmoor Zoo (8 miles).


Step inside and you’ll immediately feel at home. Traditional features blend seamlessly with modern comforts, from the flagstone flooring to the oak beams throughout. The spacious kitchen/diner is the heart of the house, bright, colourful, and fully equipped for everything from relaxed breakfasts to celebratory dinners. A charming circular vintage dining table sits within a window-filled bay, making the most of the far-reaching countryside views. After a day of exploring, unwind in the cosy lounge, light the wood burner, and settle in for a film night on the Smart Projector TV. Younger guests (and the young at heart) will love the dedicated games room, complete with table football and a selection of board games.


The ground floor also features a flexible zip-and-link super-king-size bedroom and a convenient WC. Upstairs, you’ll find four further bedrooms: a king-size room with a luxurious en-suite featuring a walk-in shower and indulgent free-standing bath, alongside a double, a twin, and a single bedroom. These are served by a stylish family bathroom with both a walk-in shower and a separate bath.


Outside, a decked balcony with garden furniture invites you to relax with a morning coffee or evening drink while soaking up the views. Below, the lawned garden is framed by mature shrubs and trees, offering a peaceful space to unwind. Private parking is available for up to five cars.


A character-filled countryside retreat with space, comfort, and superb access to North Devon’s highlights, this home is the perfect base for a memorable stay.
