4 Bedroom Terraced House

A modern and beautifully presented 5-bedroom Victorian family home positioned in the popular area of Newport and within walking distance to ample nearby amenities.

On entering the property, you are greeted by a beautifully presented interior where the attention to detail is immediately evident. The hallway sets the tone, with a restored decorative arch drawing the eye through towards the staircase rising to the first floor. To the right sits an elegant front reception room, where traditional wooden floorboards, wall panelling and ornate cornicing combine to create a wonderfully refined period feel. The large sash bay window, complete with wooden shutters, allows the room to feel both bright and impressive, while the high ceilings and open fireplace add further character and charm. Positioned to the rear, the dining room continues the classic style of the home, again featuring characterful flooring and a period fireplace. A useful cloakroom is conveniently placed before the third reception room, which is currently used as a snug and provides a cosy, more informal living space centred around a modern electric fire. The kitchen provides a striking contrast between old and new. Having been fully rebuilt in recent years, it offers a fresh and colourful finish while remaining sympathetic to the age of the house. The vaulted ceiling and Velux window create a bright, airy atmosphere, while the 2021 shaker-style units are paired with generous oak worktops. A butler’s sink is set beneath the side window, and there is space for a fridge/freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer and freestanding Belling cooker with hob. An extractor canopy is fitted above, and a door leads directly out to the courtyard garden.

The first floor offers four bedrooms. At the front, the principal bedroom is a particularly generous room with a bay window echoing the reception room below. Also facing the front is a large single bedroom. To the rear, what was once one larger room has been divided to create two further bedrooms, both currently arranged as good-sized singles. The bathroom accommodation is found on the half landing and is arranged in separate sections, giving a practical layout for family living. There is a spacious bathroom area with a wash basin and separate bath, an enclosed WC with additional wash basin, and a further enclosed shower cubicle.

The top floor adds even more flexibility to the home. A bright landing area, lit by a Velux window, is currently used as a multi-purpose space and could lend itself to a home office, hobby room, games area, additional sitting room or occasional bedroom. Beyond this is a further well-proportioned double bedroom. A shower room serves this floor.

To the rear of the house is an enclosed courtyard garden with a pleasant south/easterly aspect. Designed for low-maintenance enjoyment, the space is bordered by a rendered brick wall and provides a lovely spot for outdoor seating. A lockable pedestrian gate gives rear access. On road parking is available nearby.
From Barnstaple continue out of town along Barbican Road. Upon reaching the roundabout at Victoria Road turn right and at the bottom turn left into Newport Road. Continue up to the crossroads with the traffic lights and turn right into South Street. Proceed half way along and the property will be seen on the left hand side.
