Five-bedroom semi with south garden and countryside glimpses — ready to adapt.
Five bedrooms including one en-suite double
Set in a quiet village setting just outside Barnstaple, this spacious five-bedroom semi-detached home suits growing families who need flexible living space. The ground floor offers a cosy lounge with a multi-fuel burner and an adjoining second reception room that can serve as a playroom, home office or formal sitting room. The kitchen/diner flows to a south-facing garden, creating easy indoor–outdoor family living. A practical utility room leads to the single garage.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms (one with an en-suite) and two single bedrooms, plus a family bathroom with a three-piece suite. The property totals around 1,500 sq ft, with an average overall size and a layout that will suit family life while offering scope to reconfigure rooms to changing needs. Double glazing and a dual-fuel heating system (boiler plus wood) add comfort and efficiency.
Outside, the private south-facing rear garden is a real asset — a decent plot with patio, lawn and countryside glimpses ideal for children and outdoor entertaining. Driveway parking for two vehicles plus a single garage provide convenience, though those needing larger or additional vehicle storage may find space limited. Built in the 1980s, the house presents solid bones but some internal finishes (carpets, dated fittings) will benefit from updating to suit modern tastes.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, fast broadband, very low local crime and no flood risk. The village offers a highly regarded primary school, green spaces, footpaths and easy access to Exmoor and Barnstaple town for wider services. Overall this is a roomy, adaptable family house with a peaceful garden and clear potential for improvement.
