Accommodation

Stepping through the front door, an entrance hallway provides access to the accommodation, with stairs rising to the first floor and a doorway opening into the principal reception space. The sitting room enjoys a window overlooking the front aspect and centres around an open fireplace, creating a focal point to the room. Open-plan with the adjoining dining room, this generous reception space offers an ideal setting for both everyday family life and entertaining guests, while the dining area benefits from a further window overlooking the rear aspect, creating a light and airy dual-aspect arrangement. A useful understairs storage cupboard provides additional practicality. Leading through from the dining room, the fitted kitchen is equipped with a range of wall and base cupboards and drawers, complemented by ample work surface space. There is a one-and-a-half bowl stainless steel sink and drainer positioned beneath a window to the rear, together with space for a washing machine, dishwasher, fridge freezer and a double electric oven with a gas hob. Beyond the kitchen is a useful rear lobby, offering excellent scope to serve as a utility area, with a door stepping out to the enclosed rear courtyard. 

The first floor hosts two well-proportioned double bedrooms. The generous principal bedroom occupies the front of the property and provides ample space for wardrobes, chests of drawers and bedside furniture. Bedroom two overlooks the rear and is another comfortable double room. A useful built-in storage cupboard is located along the landing before entering the family bathroom, which comprises a WC, wash hand basin and panelled bath with shower over, together with an obscure glazed window to the rear. 

Occupying the second floor are two further double bedrooms, both requiring modernisation but offering excellent versatility as additional family bedrooms, guest accommodation or home office space.

Outside & parking

To the rear, the property benefits from a sunny, westerly facing rear courtyard garden, fully enclosed and perfectly safe for children and pets, also providing a low-maintenance outdoor space with direct access from the rear lobby. Permit parking is available on the road immediately outside the property and also adjoining roads. 

Although requiring improvement throughout, this characterful late Victorian townhouse offers an excellent opportunity to refurbish a substantial home in a highly convenient location, with easy access to Barnstaple town centre, everyday amenities and North Devon District Hospital.

Location

The property is located within a short stroll of the heart of Barnstaple's town centre, conveniently positioned for every day amenities. The town centre is accessible by foot within just a few minutes walk, along with numerous well known and independent high street shops, supermarkets, department stores, pubs, cafes, restaurants and leisure facilities. The popular sandy surfing beaches of Saunton, Croyde and Woolacombe are within around 20-30 minutes drive, as is the border of Exmoor National Park. Along the A361, Tiverton Parkway train station with fast services to London Paddington can be reached in approximately 45 minutes, as can the M5 network and beyond, also from Junction 27 at Tiverton.
