Beautifully designed homes: Sterridge Valley, North Devon
Tucked quietly within a sheltered North Devon valley, this remarkable home offers a rare combination of character, land and a true sense of escape. Join us to explore this stunning home.
Approached along a narrowing lane where the landscape begins to close in and the sound of running water takes over, the setting immediately feels peaceful and removed from the everyday.
Positioned within its own valley, the house sits naturally in its surroundings rather than dominating them. Surrounded by pasture, woodland and a nearby river, it feels private, grounded and entirely at ease with the landscape. This is a part of North Devon that remains unspoilt, where the connection to nature is constant and uninterrupted.
At its heart, the property is an original Devon longhouse, rich in character and history, yet thoughtfully adapted for modern living. The balance between old and new is carefully judged. Traditional features bring warmth and depth, while contemporary additions enhance the way the house is lived in day to day.
The standout space is the vaulted kitchen extension, designed as the social heart of the home. With extensive glazing overlooking the gardens and the lake, it is filled with natural light throughout the day. The outlook becomes part of the experience of living here, with doors opening directly onto a terrace that allows for an easy flow between inside and out.
From this central space, the accommodation unfolds in a way that feels natural and intuitive. A comfortable sitting room offers a place to relax, while a panelled library provides a quieter retreat. The bedrooms are calm and private, reflecting the character of the house and its gradual evolution over time.
Beyond the house itself, the land is a defining feature. Extending to around 11.5 acres, it provides a sense of freedom and space that is increasingly hard to find. The grounds include pasture, woodland and a beautiful spring fed lake with its own island, creating a setting that feels both expansive and deeply tranquil.
There is also a separate one bedroom coach house or annexe, offering flexibility for guests, multi generational living or potential income. For those seeking additional opportunity, there is the option to acquire a further agricultural barn and additional land, opening the door to future projects or lifestyle uses.
The wider setting only adds to the appeal. Berrynarbor is a village that has retained its character and charm, with a strong sense of community and a timeless feel. At the same time, the North Devon coast is within easy reach, offering beaches, coastal walks and a lifestyle that balances countryside calm with access to the sea.
This is more than a home. It is a place that offers space to breathe, a connection to the landscape and the flexibility to shape a lifestyle around it. Properties like this are increasingly rare, combining setting, character and potential in a way that feels both authentic and enduring.
