Accommodation

Stepping in from the front door, a small entrance porch provides a practical space for shoes and coats, with a further internal door opening into a wide and welcoming hallway. A hard-wearing wood-effect flooring flows through the hall and reception space, with stairs rising to the first floor. The sitting room is a beautifully presented and sociable space, enjoying a bright aspect from a large window to the front. Fitted shelving and storage cupboards sit neatly either side of the chimney breast, whilst a contemporary electric fireplace creates a stylish focal point. The sitting room blends seamlessly into the dining area, which benefits from double doors opening directly onto the rear garden and decked seating area, creating a superb connection between inside and out. The modern kitchen is fitted with a wide range of wall and base cupboards and drawers, complemented by generous work surface space. Built-in appliances include a dishwasher, along with a double eye-level electric oven, induction hob and extractor canopy over. An inset sink and drainer is positioned beneath a rear window, whilst further space is provided for a large American-style fridge/freezer. The extended part of the home forms a highly versatile breakfast and family area, featuring a fitted breakfast bar and ample space for either a table and chairs or a more relaxed seating arrangement. Double doors open onto the rear garden, allowing natural light to flood the room. A door leads into the partially converted garage space, now incorporating a utility area with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, together with a separate cloakroom/WC with wash hand basin. Internal access remains into the remainder of the garage, which provides excellent storage. 

To the first floor, a spacious landing is illuminated by a side window and also offers access to the loft via a hatch, along with a useful airing cupboard. Bedroom one is positioned to the front of the property and benefits from ample built-in wardrobes. Bedroom two is another comfortable double room, also with fitted storage. The third bedroom is a pleasant single room, also located to the front. The bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with a partially tiled surround, a panelled bath with shower over, WC, wash hand basin, and a chrome heated towel rail.

Outside & parking

To the front, the property is approached via a neat lawned garden with established shrubbery, alongside a level driveway providing off-road parking for two vehicles in tandem, positioned in front of the garage. The garage is accessed via an electric roller door.

The rear garden can also be accessed via a pedestrian gate to the side, while a composite decked terrace adjoins the back of the home, providing level access from both the dining area and the extension via two sets of double doors. This creates a superb outdoor seating area, with steps leading down into the main section of garden. Here we are safely enclosed, making it ideal for those with young children and/or pets, featuring a central lawn bordered by neat flower beds and planting, split by a pathway leading from the decking down to a further patio area at the rear. This additional seating space provides an excellent spot for entertaining and also offers room for a summer house, with the fenced boundary softened by established shrubs.

Location

Pilton is often considered to be one of Barnstaple's most favourable districts, with an abundance of charming cottages, large family homes and new modern housing. Westaway Close in particular is an established and convenient residential area, with its' close access to the hospital, not far from general amenities but also on the doorstep of countryside, being positioned on the very edge of the town. With North Devon District Hospital within quite literally a 'stone's throw', the area is often very popular among its' staff, which could also make the property ideal for buy-to-let investors.
