Barnstaple, Devon

Ideally situated, close to Rock Park and the Taw embankment, this Georgian family home is a rare jewel on the market, and not one to be missed. Not only is it a pleasant 5-minute stroll into Barnstaple town centre, but one of very few properties to have off-road parking for two vehicles in such a prime residential location.

This well-presented Grade II listed period property features five bedrooms, a study and two further reception rooms, making it an ideal family home.

It has many period features plus a delightful courtyard style rear garden.

The property briefly comprises a galley style contemporary fitted kitchen with a range cooker. Double doors lead to a private and secluded rear courtyard garden. A separate dining area features two original sets of inbuilt cupboards, leading to a delightfully spacious and airy front lounge with bay window. There is a downstairs WC, and additional storage space under the main stairs. There is also a study room which leads off from the kitchen at the rear of the ground floor, plus a plumbed-in utility area nestled under the back stairs.

A further set of original, now painted, wooden stairs lead from the rear of the kitchen to the first floor, making access to all areas that much more convenient.

On the first floor there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, one currently being used as an additional study. One of these is a Jack and Jill En-suite, though the third back bedroom can also have access to this spacious En-suite facility. The front bedroom is adjacent to a further family bathroom and offers pleasant views of the impressive Holy Trinity church and its landmark tower. A further WC is on the main stairwell leading to the first floor.

The second floor comprises of two further bedrooms in an attic style conversion, the larger one having a double glazed Velux roof light with distant far reaching views. Additionally, there is large storage cupboard.

With so many original features, plus extensions over time, and with an inventive layout, there is far more space than first appears from an outside view. With its prime location, and hard to find off-road parking, this unique property is one you do not want to miss. Viewing is strongly advised.
