A straightforward three-bedroom semi-detached home on a generous plot, 29 Merrythorn Road offers practical family living with clear scope to add value. The ground floor opens to an open-plan lounge/diner, a well-fitted kitchen and an adaptable conservatory that overlooks a recently landscaped, south-facing garden — ideal for year-round light and outdoor seating. Off-street parking for multiple cars and a private driveway simplify daily life.
The property is offered chain free and presents a good refurbishment opportunity. The house is dated in places and will benefit from updating and modernisation; there is only one bathroom and the overall internal area is modest (around 700–742 sq ft), so buyers should expect compact room sizes. The gas combi boiler and double glazing are in place, but finish and fittings are older and will likely need attention during renovation.
Occupying a generous plot, there is scope (subject to planning) to extend to the side or add a garage — a clear attraction for buyers wanting to increase living space or resale value. The rear garden includes recently laid patio, raised beds and space for sheds; a culvert runs along the west boundary which reduces usable planting area and should be checked when planning works. There is no flood risk recorded.
Location is a strength: Fremington village is close to Barnstaple, good local primary schools and the Tarka Trail for walking and cycling. The area is affluent with low crime, fast broadband and regular bus links to Barnstaple and the coast. This house will suit first-time buyers, young families or investors prepared to renovate and add value.
