Stepping in through the front door, an entrance flows into an open dining area which acts as the centre of home. The current owners have knocked through into the sitting room which in turn has created an open plan reception area which features an original fireplace. Even more impressively, the dining area shows off a stunning exposed brick fireplace and open chimney which has great potential to add in wood burning stove to fill this area with even more charm. As it is, it makes for a sociable dining area, laid with new flooring throughout the ground floor.
Stairs lead up from the dining space to the first floor, while a door opens into the kitchen. Here, this modern area is a 'galley style' with wall and base cupboards and drawers on either side. An inset stainless steel sink/drainer sits underneath a window facing the side aspect, and among worktop space aplenty. Appliances include an electric cooker with newly replaced induction hob and extractor canopy over. In addition, there is space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and a fridge/freezer, while a boiler is mounted to the wall and a door opens to the garden.
The downstairs bathroom is found at the back of the home, comprising white suite to include a WC, wash hand basin and panelled bath with shower over. Heading upstairs, carpets have been replaced along the stairs and throughout each room on the first floor. Bedroom one faces the front aspect, a generous double bedroom. Bedrooms two and three are both similar in proportion and look out from the rear of the home; also both smaller yet still double bedrooms, ideally suiting those with young, growing families!
Outside & parking
Unrestricted on street parking is provided to the front of the property, along a no-through road towards the bottom of Newport.
To the rear, the garden is fully enclosed, making it safe and secure for anyone with young children or pets. It has been relayed in recent years, with a new patio and artificial lawn put down for ease of maintenance. The garden faces almost directly west, allowing for sun in the garden and on the back of the house for the majority of the day and evening, creating a real sun trap.
Location
The property is located within a short stroll of Barnstaple's town centre, conveniently positioned for every day amenities. In addition, the notorious Rock Park is just a stone's throw away, as is access onto the Tarka Trail. Barnstaple town centre is accessible by foot within just a couple of minutes, along with numerous well known and independent high street shops, supermarkets, department stores, pubs, cafes, restaurants and leisure facilities. Both Newport Primary and Park Secondary schools are considered some of the best local schools for all ages, and each are within easy walking distance of the property. 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. Other notable areas for further shopping include Exeter in around an hour's drive, and the Cornish border within about a 30-40 minute drive.
