Fort Street, Barnstaple

Set along Fort Street, this traditional three-storey home offers a layout that works well for everyday life, with character in the right places, three double bedrooms and the convenience of being only a short distance from Barnstaple town centre.

The living and dining rooms sit together at the front of the house, connected by a wide opening that allows the two spaces to work naturally alongside one another. The living room has a large window and fireplace, while the adjoining dining room easily accommodates a family dining table without feeling like an extension of the lounge. Period-style touches, including the high ceilings, cornicing and picture rails, add to the feel of these rooms.

Further into the house, the kitchen is fitted with a good range of units and has space for a small table and chairs. One of the particularly useful parts of the ground floor is the separate utility area beyond, keeping laundry and additional storage away from the main kitchen. From here there is access outside, while a downstairs WC is another welcome practical feature.

The first floor is home to two double bedrooms, each with very different proportions and character. One benefits from an extensive run of built-in storage, while the larger room provides plenty of flexibility for additional bedroom furniture.

Also on this level is the family bathroom, and this is certainly not an afterthought. A bath and separate shower enclosure sit alongside the rest of the suite, with an additional separate WC just off the landing.

The final staircase leads to perhaps the most distinctive room in the house. Occupying the second floor, the third double bedroom has exposed beams, timber-lined ceilings and roof windows, giving it a character all of its own. Tucked away from the rest of the bedrooms, it could work particularly well as a main bedroom, guest room or a more independent space for an older child.

At the rear, the garden has been designed to be easy to look after, with artificial lawn creating areas for outdoor seating and the original stone and brick walls bringing some character to the setting. A garden shed provides useful storage.

For anyone wanting to be close to the centre of Barnstaple, with three double bedrooms, separate utility space, and a garden, Fort Street is well worth seeing. It is also being sold with no upper chain.
