Accommodation

Stepping inside, there is an immediate sense of space with a generous hallway, with improvements including new flooring throughout much of the ground floor. This is a pleasant home that can be comfortably occupied from day one while still leaving scope for a new owner to continue the improvements over time. Stairs rise from the entrance hallway to the first floor, while a door to the left opens into the sitting area and the kitchen is positioned straight ahead. The functional kitchen provides a perfectly functional space with an inset single-bowl sink and drainer, storage cupboards, space for an electric cooker with extractor canopy above and plenty of work surface space. A separate cupboard provides plumbing for a washing machine. The kitchen opens naturally into the dining area, where sliding doors provide access into the extended garden room. The open-plan arrangement continues through into the sitting room to create a particularly sociable ground-floor living space. Enjoying a pleasant double aspect and a genuine feeling of space, the sitting room also is complemented by newly laid grey laminate flooring extending through much of the ground floor. Accessed from the dining area, the garden room is an extremely versatile addition to the home. Currently serving a variety of purposes, it offers excellent potential to create further usable accommodation with some investment. The extension has a concrete base, conservatory-style roof and sliding doors opening directly onto the rear garden. Two useful storage cupboards are also accessible from here, one of which is particularly substantial, together with an external WC. Both the garden room or storage sections are connected to power and light. 

Upstairs, a large window floods the landing with natural light, with doors providing access to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The bathroom has recently been completely refitted and now boasts a smart, modern white suite comprising a WC, wash hand basin and panelled bath with shower over. Light-coloured wall boarding provides an attractive, practical and easy-to-maintain finish, while an obscured window provides natural light. Bedroom two overlooks the rear and is a comfortable double room with fitted wardrobes and shelving, enjoying elevated views across the outskirts of Barnstaple and towards the hospital. The main bedroom is another particularly generous double room, positioned to the front of the property, while the third bedroom also overlooks the front and provides a well-proportioned single bedroom, equally suitable for use as a home office if required. The loft, connected to power and light also provides potential to be converted, subject to the relevant consents, with precedent already set by neighbouring properties. Further benefits and upgrades to the home include the recent installation of a new combination boiler as well as a full re-wire of the home in the last two years. 

Outside & parking

Unrestricted on-street parking is available to the front of the property, with spaces typically available within close proximity. A low stone wall forms the front boundary, beyond which steps descend towards the front entrance. One of the property’s most notable features is the amount of outside space it enjoys. The house is set a considerable distance back from the pavement behind a predominantly lawned front garden, providing a pleasing sense of separation and privacy. A concrete pathway continues around the side of the house, providing useful independent access into the rear garden.

The rear garden is again particularly generous, predominantly laid to lawn with a patio immediately adjoining the property and further areas of hardstanding helping to keep maintenance relatively straightforward. A handful of established shrubs provide some greenery, while brick walling encloses the garden along its boundaries. Altogether, the outside space provides an excellent blank canvas and represents a genuine opportunity for a new owner to create something special, whether through landscaping, entertaining areas, additional planting or simply enjoying the generous amount of garden already available.

Location

The property occupies an extremely convenient position within a short stroll of the heart of Barnstaple town centre, placing an extensive range of everyday amenities within easy reach. The town centre can be accessed on foot within just a few minutes and offers a broad selection of well-known and independent shops, supermarkets, department stores, pubs, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities. Barnstaple is ideally positioned for enjoying everything North Devon has to offer, with the renowned sandy beaches at Saunton, Croyde and Woolacombe generally accessible within around 20–30 minutes by car, while the dramatic landscapes of Exmoor National Park are also within easy reach. For those travelling further afield, the A361 provides the principal route towards Tiverton and Junction 27 of the M5, while Tiverton Parkway offers regular rail services to London Paddington. Both can typically be reached within approximately 45 minutes. Exeter is around an hour’s drive away, providing an extensive further range of shopping and leisure facilities, while the Cornish border can generally be reached within approximately 45 minutes.
