Raleigh Cottages, Barnstaple

A modern and spacious 2 bedroom cottage with a surprisingly large rear garden. All situated in the popular area of Pilton. No ongoing chain.

Situated in Pilton, one of the oldest parts of Barnstaple is this two double bedroom cottage that sits just a short walk from the town centre. It has been modernised and refurbished throughout, so the work is done and it is ready to move straight into. It would make a lovely first home, and it would equally sit well in a rental portfolio.

The front door opens into the sitting room, cosy as you would hope a cottage to be, but well proportioned and with more light than you might expect. Beyond it is the fantastic kitchen and dining room, which is where most of daily life will happen. The kitchen is modern, with plenty of worktop and cupboard space, and there is room for a proper dining table rather than a squeeze. French doors open onto the garden and bring the light in, and on a warm evening you can leave them open and let supper drift outside. Also on the ground floor is the bathroom, refitted in a contemporary style with good quality fittings.

Moving upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, both a generous size, so neither has to settle for being the box room. One could just as easily become a home office or a guest room.

The garden is the real surprise here. It is large for a town cottage and faces south, so it catches the sun from morning through to the evening. Most of it is laid to lawn, with space for children to run about or for a keen gardener to dig in a few beds, and the decked area at the back is set up for a table and chairs, perfect for summer lunches and al fresco dining. To the front, parking is available on the street.
