About this property

This exquisite complete 'new build' five-bedroom detached family home is nestled within the parish of High Bickington, located in North Devon, incorporating modern style living whilst retaining extensive amounts of history. The site that the property sits on had an archaeological survey which revealed the remains of a significant medieval house with older Saxon and Iron-Age structures beneath - All these archaeological structures would have been carbon neutral; fast forward 2000 years and the new property is equally carbon neutral. Some of the structural finds from the archaeological dig have been incorporated into the new home by the current owners whilst others have been donated to the North Devon Museum.
