Chequers Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale 2 The Gardens – a substantial and beautifully presented four-bedroom family home, located in the highly sought-after area of Pilton.

This impressive property is set within beautifully landscaped gardens and benefits from off-road parking and a garage, making it an ideal choice for families or those seeking space and style in a desirable setting.

An internal inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate the charm, space, and quality that this stunning home has to offer.

Purchased in 2010 and lovingly improved by the current owners, Coulsworthy is an immaculate home offering a seamless balance of open-plan living and more intimate, cosy spaces.

Upgrades to the property include the installation of a wood-burning stove in 2012, replacement of the upstairs windows in 2014, and the fitting of solar panels which generate a feed-in tariff of approximately £800 per annum. In addition, a new gas central heating boiler was installed in 2021, further enhancing the home's efficiency and comfort.

The contemporary kitchen is of high specification with ample storage and space for appliances, adjoining a practical utility room with rear access.

First Floor:
Upstairs offers four well-proportioned bedrooms and a sleek modern family bathroom. Bedrooms one and two are spacious doubles benefitting from stunning views across Barnstaple, with the main bedroom also enjoying a modern en-suite shower room.

Outside:
To the front, a private driveway provides off-road parking and leads to a larger-than-average garage with power and lighting. The beautifully landscaped gardens wrap around the home and are enclosed by a charming stone wall, providing a high level of privacy.
