Thoughtfully updated four-bedroom home near good schools and countryside walks.
Four bedrooms plus flexible study/nursery space
Positioned on the edge of Barnstaple in a well-regarded Westacott pocket, this four-bedroom link-detached house suits growing families seeking space and nearby green walks. The ground floor features a recently updated, integrated kitchen and dining area that opens to a bright living room with French doors to a private, low-maintenance rear garden. An oversized single garage with internal access and driveway parking for two cars adds practical everyday convenience.
Upstairs provides three double bedrooms and a single fourth room that can serve as a nursery or home office. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes, a Juliet balcony, Velux window and an en-suite with separate bath and shower. The house also includes a family bathroom and an additional shower room, useful for busy family mornings. Modern double glazing has been fitted across the windows and central heating is gas-fired via a boiler and radiators.
Outside, the plot is compact and low-maintenance with a tidy front garden and paved patio with raised beds at the rear — great for outdoor family time without heavy upkeep. Location is a strong selling point: a good-rated local primary (Orchard Vale) is within walking distance, woodland and playing fields are nearby and Barnstaple’s amenities and transport links are easily accessible.
Notable considerations: the plot is small compared with larger detached homes, and the single garage—though oversized—only accommodates one car. The property was constructed in the early 1990s and, while well maintained and updated in key areas, may still offer scope for personalization or further updating to modern tastes. Council tax level is moderate. Overall this is a practical, comfortable family home in an affluent, low-crime neighbourhood.
