This four-bedroom mid-terrace Victorian home offers generous internal proportions and period character across three floors, close to Barnstaple town centre. High ceilings, a large bay-windowed reception and original cornices create a bright, airy feel, while a spacious kitchen/breakfast room opens onto an enclosed low-maintenance rear garden. The property suits families wanting central convenience and scope to personalise a home of character.
Practical features include UPVC double glazing and mains gas central heating, helping with running costs. The layout provides flexibility: two reception rooms plus a top-floor bedroom large enough for a sofa or home office. Nearby primary and secondary schools, shops and transport links are all within walking distance, making daily life straightforward.
Buyers should note material issues plainly. There are signs of potential damp in the living room area and the property’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, so further investigation and remedial work may be needed. The home has one full bathroom plus a separate WC and a small rear garden and limited off-street parking (residents’ permit required).
Overall, this home is best suited to families or buyers seeking a spacious town-centre house with period charm who are willing to carry out updating and address moisture and insulation improvements. The combination of size, location and character gives clear potential for comfortable family living or a renovation-led value uplift.
