Read the full agent description

This property boasts a rich history, having once operated as a convenience store in the 1930s, a stagecoach taxi rank, and even a women’s refuge for army wives during the war. Now designated for residential use, it offers an exceptional family home, thanks to its generous size and versatile layout.

Situated just a short walk from Barnstaple town centre, this charming three-bedroom end-of-terrace home on Fort Terrace offers generous living space, multiple reception rooms, and the rare benefit of off-road parking, with a garage to the rear.

Upon entering the property, the ground floor boasts three versatile reception rooms. The first, currently used as a snug, provides a cosy living area and immediate greeting area. The second serves as a spacious dining room with an additional seating area, perfect for entertaining. The third reception room, once a shop front, is flooded with natural light and offers flexible space that could be used as an extra living room, home office, hobby room, or even a fourth bedroom. This room would be fantastic if it was brought back to its original use. If you have a business you wish to run out of your property, this is perfect for you!

The kitchen is well-equipped with an integrated oven, under-counter space for a dishwasher, room for a freestanding fridge freezer, and ample cabinetry. A small dining table fits comfortably within this space. Adjacent to the kitchen is a highly functional utility room, complete with work surfaces, cabinets, space for a washing machine, tumble dryer, and freezer. A convenient downstairs WC and a spacious under-stairs storage cupboard add to the practicality of the home.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with three generous double bedrooms. The second bedroom features built-in storage, high ceilings, and space for additional furniture. The third bedroom is also a well-proportioned double, complete with built-in wardrobes and room for a desk.

The expansive master bedroom easily accommodates a super king-sized bed, large wardrobes, and freestanding furniture, while still providing plenty of floor space. The first floor also includes a separate WC and a family bathroom, which comprises a bath with an overhead shower and a wash hand basin.

To the rear, a courtyard area leads to the garage, which offers additional storage or potential workshop space.
