About
Located within the ever-popular area of Newport, just a short drive from Barnstaple town centre, this is a perfect opportunity to purchase a well-presented 3 bedroom link-detached family home.
Newport benefits from its own range of local amenities, including shops, well regarded schools, and a doctors’ surgery, making it an ideal setting for families.
The property welcomes you via an entrance porch, a practical space ideal for coats and shoes, which leads into the main entrance hall.
From here, you are drawn into the dual-aspect living room, a cosy yet light-filled space, perfect for relaxing with family or entertaining guests.
To the rear of the property is a generously sized kitchen/dining room.
The modern fitted kitchen offers an excellent range of worktops along with matching wall and base units, as well plenty of space for appliances.
There is ample space for a dining table and chairs, creating a sociable hub of the home.
Patio doors open directly onto the rear garden, allowing natural light to flood the space and providing seamless indoor-outdoor living.
To the first floor, the property offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a comfortable single bedroom. The family bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite, serving all bedrooms.
Externally, the front of the property is bordered by hedging, providing a good degree of privacy. A driveway offers parking for two vehicles and gives access to the single garage.
The rear garden has been thoughtfully arranged to create distinct areas for relaxation and entertaining. Immediately accessed from the dining area is a private patio, perfect for outdoor dining.
The current vendors have also created a snug seating area, ideal for enjoying warm summer evenings.
Steps lead down to a further enclosed lawned garden, offering a private and secure space for children or pets.
