Manning's View

About this property

Manning's View is a welcoming house in Barnstaple, Devon. Set within easy reach of Exmoor National Park and boasting an enclosed garden and allowing pets, this is a well-suited base for families and friends looking to explore North Devon together. Arrive and park in the off-road parking area before stepping inside and leaving your coats and walking boots in the hallway. From here, make your way into the spacious kitchen/diner, where sleek tiled-effect flooring creates a practical space for busy holiday mornings. Gather around the breakfast bar with a fresh cup of coffee as plans are made for the day ahead, before coming together at the dining table for hearty breakfasts and evening meals.

The well-equipped kitchen provides everything needed for home cooking, with a double oven, induction hob, fridge/freezer and dishwasher making mealtimes effortless. Open the doors and let the garden become part of your living space, with easy access to the lawn, patio and outdoor furniture. Just off the kitchen, the utility room keeps day-to-day essentials tucked away, with a washing machine, tumble dryer and microwave proving particularly useful after countryside walks or coastal adventures. When it's time to relax, retreat to the spacious sitting room, where generous sofas invite guests to settle in for an evening chat, family board games or a film on the TV after a day spent exploring Devon's landscapes and coastline.

Completing the ground floor is a handy cloakroom. Head upstairs to the first floor, where the bedrooms offer flexible accommodation for families and groups. The master bedroom features a king-size bed, fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, providing a private spot to begin each morning. A double bedroom offers further sleeping space, while the second double bedroom includes a small baby cot for those travelling with an infant. An additional cot is available in the fourth bedroom space, helping make family stays that little bit easier. Serving the bedrooms is a family bathroom, where guests can start the day with a refreshing shower or enjoy a leisurely soak in the bath after a day outdoors.

Outside, the rear garden provides plenty of room to enjoy warmer days, whether that's dining on the patio, unwinding with a good book on the outdoor furniture or watching children play on the lawn. Barnstaple's shops, cafés and restaurants are within easy reach, making it simple to stock up on local produce or enjoy a meal out. For memorable days out, Exmoor National Park is a must-visit destination, where rolling moorland stretches towards the horizon, wooded valleys hide alongside winding rivers and the famous Exmoor ponies can often be seen roaming the landscape. The picturesque twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth offer equally rewarding excursions, where visitors can ride the historic Cliff Railway, admire dramatic sea views from the rugged coastline and stroll alongside the East Lyn River.

For garden lovers, RHS Garden Rosemoor delivers beautiful seasonal planting, tranquil woodland walks and carefully designed garden spaces that provide colour and interest throughout the year. Manning's View provides a wonderful base for discovering this scenic part of Devon.
