Description

This character town house offers deceptively spacious accommodation with a long enclosed rear garden, an ideal family home within close walking distance of the town centre.

The entrance hall has attractive Victorian tiled flooring with sweeping staircase leading off with curved wooden balustrading. The front sitting room enjoys window seat in the bay window, original wood flooring, fireplace with inset gas fire and door to the dining room. Also off the hallway there is a door into the rear lounge with window and french doors overlooking the rear garden. There is a deep fireplace with inset multi-fuel burning stove (available by negotiation) and shelving to the adjacent recess, original wood flooring. This room opens into the dining room with access to the front sitting room and feature stove (ornamental only) in former fireplace alcove. The kitchen is fitted with a range of white wall and base units with integrated eye level electric oven, gas hob with extractor over and dishwasher. An undercounter fridge will also be included. Door to rear garden and door to shower room. Having vanity unit with inset wash hand basin, low level w.c. and corner shower cubicle. Further door into a useful utility area with cupboards and working surface with space under for washing machine and tumble drier.

To the first floor on the front elevation is a double bedroom with adjacent bathroom fitted with bath with shower attachment over, low level w.c. and wash hand basin. To the rear are a further two double bedrooms enjoying views over the garden. Along the corridor is another bedroom with built-in wardrobes. The landing has a deep storage cupboard and access to the loft which is fully boarded with Velux style windows installed and offers potential to create a further room (subject to any necessary planning consents).

To the rear are lovely well maintained gardens with a patio immediately off the house ideal for alfresco dining along with a raised and covered decked area. Steps then lead up to a gravelled area with good sized wooden shed/workshop. The next section of garden is stone walled and laid to lawn with shrub borders and having pathway to the end of the garden with decked area and covered a gazebo. The garden is a real attribute to the house being south facing and completely enclosed.

Great Torrington is a small but welcoming market town set in the rolling countryside of North Devon. The town is set in a prominent position over-looking the Torridge valley. Surrounded on three sides by common land gifted to the town in the 12th Century, there are 20 miles of public footpaths that can be enjoyed.

The bustling town centre offers a wide range of day-to-day shops, banks, a library, a Pannier Market and the renowned Plough Arts Centre which offers entertainment to suit all ages and tastes. There is schooling for all ages up to 16 and a variety of sports facilities.

The larger towns of Bideford and Barnstaple are 7 and 13 miles away and provide more extensive retail facilities and leisure opportunities. The city of Exeter is around an hours drive away and benefits from having mainline rail links, a large shopping centre, the Cathedral and university and an international airport.

The spectacular North Devon coastline is within a short drive and the National Parks of Exmoor and Dartmoor are both within approximately half an hours drive.
