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.
