Owner's comments

"I have lived at number 50 for over three decades and the property has been consistently well maintained and improved. It is ideally situated in an area for schools, college, walks, town, local amenities and privacy."

Accommodation

The spacious nature of this wonderful home is immediately apparent upon stepping through the front door. A large entrance hall provides access to the majority of internal accommodation with three double bedrooms. The first of which is at the front of the property, the second double bedroom on the right-hand side of the property, with the third double bedroom at the rear of the property and to the left. Around the hallway to the left is a charming sitting room boasting a large bay window at the front and an electric fireplace providing a perfect focal point to the room. Bedroom one is another generous double room with a huge window to the rear benefits from an elevated view over the garden and stunning scenery beyond with Anchor Woods and the estuary behind. The main bedroom also has an extra WC and wash basin. Serving each of the three bedrooms is a recently refitted and modern, stylish shower room with a WC, wash handbasin, heated towel rail, large walk-in shower cubicle and an LED mirror. Additionally, there is a useful airing cupboard for storage which also houses the boiler.

A spacious kitchen/dining room has been also extended and opened up to create a free flowing and sociable reception area. The kitchen benefits from ample worktop space and an abundance of wall and base storage cupboards and drawers. Space is provided for a freestanding fridge freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer and oven with gas hob and fitted extractor canopy over. There is a stainless steel sink/drainer and a fixed island which divides the dining space, a large window looks over the rear garden. A door to the side aspect leads to one of the two driveways and a gate to the rear garden leads round to a pathway at the side of the property. A rear stable type door in the kitchen leads to the patio area at the top of the rear garden.

Outside & parking

To the front of number 50, you will find a pedestrian gate leading to a few shallow steps leading down to the front door. Either side of the path are sections of lawn, with neatly arranged planted flowers, all while boarded with established hedgerows for privacy. There is gated driveway parking at either side, both with footpaths leading to the rear garden.

The rear is accessed from a door from the kitchen, down a few steps onto a patio. This allows for a pleasant seating area and is fenced to act as a divide to the lawn, ideal if you don’t want the dog bringing muddy paws in through the winter months! The garden has fenced borders at either side with a large area of lawn taking up the majority of the outside space. A path runs down the middle and also breaks off with a shingled path leading to a useful shed for storage which is powered up to electrics. With some investment, this could be an ideal work from home space looking for an area separate to the house. A further seating area at the back of the garden captures the sun most of the day, and hosting an attractive pond. The garden enjoy the most pleasant outlook onto adjoining trees of Anchor Woods, which has endless dog walks and adjoins the Tarka Trail which is perfect for anyone active. During the colder months when the trees are not in leaf, views stretch through the trees onto the estuary.

Location

Park Avenue is widely regarded one of the most desirable spots within Sticklepath, and also throughout the town. Positioned within quite literally less than a stones' throw of the renowned Anchor Woods and Tarka Trail, which is popular among cyclists, runners as well as walkers and those with four legged friends. A useful 'Morrisons' corner shop is a 5 minute walk away too, alongside the award winning Pelican fish & chip takeaway & restaurant. A bus stop is within 300 yards of the property, with a regular service (every 15 minutes) to the train station and Barnstaple town centre and in the opposite direction, to Bideford via Fremington and Instow. In addition within this desirable residential district of Sticklepath, there is a well regarded primary school, Chinese takeaway, petrol station, North Devon's college for further education, Petroc, and two public houses - The Wrey Arms and The Cedars Inn. Barnstaple town centre is accessible by foot in around 15-20 minutes, along with numerous high street shops, supermarkets, department stores, eateries and leisure facilities. The popular sandy surfing beaches of Saunton, Croyde and Woolacombe are within around 20-30 minutes drive, as is the border of Exmoor National Park. Along the A361, Tiverton Parkway train station with fast services to London Paddington can be reached in approximately 45 minutes, as can the M5 network and beyond, also from Junction 27 at Tiverton. Other notable areas for further shopping include Exeter in around an hour's drive, and the Cornish border is reached within about a 40 minute drive along the A39.
