This well-presented chalet bungalow offers flexible living across two levels, ideal for families or downsizers wanting space close to Barnstaple town centre. The ground floor benefits from a generous double bedroom and shower room, while two further bedrooms and a family bathroom occupy the first floor — useful for multi-generational living or guests. Light-filled principal rooms, including a double-aspect sitting room and dining room that opens to the garden, create a comfortable, sociable layout.
The kitchen/breakfast room is neatly fitted with plentiful storage, a central island and integrated appliances, with direct access to the driveway and a handy external laundry cupboard. Outside, established, well-tended gardens, a long detached garage and driveway parking for up to three vehicles are standout practical features. Additional points include double glazing throughout, gas central heating and a fitted alarm for added security.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property dates from the 1950s and retains some period and 1970s-style features, so buyers seeking a contemporary finish may wish to update certain elements. The energy performance is currently graded E (51) with a potential to C (79), so efficiency improvements would be beneficial. The house sits in an area classified with local economic challenges and average crime figures, though it benefits from excellent mobile and broadband speeds and a short walk to schools, shops and the Tarka Trail.
Overall this is a spacious, versatile home on a large plot with immediate curb appeal, useful garaging and convenient town access. It will suit families who value room to spread out and an established garden, or buyers looking for a rental/letting opportunity with good local demand.
