The centrepiece of the home is, undoubtedly, the remarkable open-plan Kitchen / Dining / Family Room extending to almost 40' in length. Designed as a superb sociable space, it features slate work surfaces, 3 built-in Bosch ovens, further integrated appliances, a 5-ring gas hob and a gas coal-effect stove set on a slate hearth. Twin remote-controlled Velux windows and new UPVC windows and doors allow plenty of natural light and provide direct access to the garden.

Two further attractive reception rooms include an elegant Living Room with a large bay window, exposed wooden flooring and gas fire, while the second enjoys French doors to the garden and a working open fireplace. A useful Utility Room and ground floor Cloakroom complete the accommodation on this level.

Across the upper 2 floors are 5 generous double Bedrooms, several retaining character fireplaces. The particularly impressive principal bedroom features sash and bay windows, while the Family Bathroom includes both a corner bath and separate tiled shower. The main roof has also been replaced in recent years.

Outside, attractive lawned gardens with established planting lie to the front, while the fully enclosed, south-facing rear garden is predominantly laid to stone chippings with a decked seating area. Opposite the property, accessed from Rectory Park, is a highly useful Double Garage belonging to the house.

The town centre, local schools and Old Town Park are all within easy walking distance, while Barnstaple and North Devon's beautiful coastline are a short drive away. Combining exceptional space, period character and an incredibly convenient location, this elegant home is offered for sale with no onward chain.
