Charnwood: A Georgian Grade II Listed Masterpiece in Newport within North Devon

Step into a world of timeless elegance with this exquisite five-bedroom mid-terrace residence, a Georgian Grade II listed property that embodies the perfect blend of historical charm and modern luxury.

From the moment you arrive at Charnwood, the allure is undeniable. The property welcomes you with parking for two cars and a sun-drenched, beautifully manicured lawned garden surrounded by stonework, providing a serene retreat. The journey begins as you enter through the porch, where original tiled flooring and a soft pink door lead you into a grand hallway that sets the tone for the entire home.

Formerly an old girl's school, Charnwood retains its majestic Georgian architecture, with large open wooden floors, high ceilings, and period features that capture the essence of its storied past. The drawing room, located on the left, boasts a stunning fireplace and a large front window, offering picturesque views of the garden. A separate door within the hall leads to a spacious cupboard and a further door with secondary sitting room and another large storage cupboard. The secondary sitting room is currently being used as a music room, but equally perfect as a snug or formal dining room.

The heart of the home is the light-filled kitchen, positioned at the rear of the property. Velux windows flood the space with natural light, while a wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character. The kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring dark navy high and low-level units with elegant gold hardware, and ample space for a large fridge freezer and cooker. An eight-seater dining table fits comfortably in this open-plan space, making it ideal for entertaining.

Ascending the grand spiral staircase, adorned with a beautiful balustrade and bathed in light, you'll find the halfway point hosting a bathroom complete with a bath, WC, sink, and an airing cupboard. The first floor is home to the master bedroom, a true work of art with built-in cabinetry that complements the property's style. This serene space offers a large window overlooking a quaint courtyard and plenty of room to enjoy the lofty ceilings. Two additional spacious double bedrooms are also located on this floor.

The second floor reveals two more bedrooms and a newly fitted, stylish shower room. For added convenience, the property includes a charming utility room and a downstairs WC, perfect for laundry needs.

Charnwood also offers a small private courtyard to the rear and a single garage with an electric roll-up door, located just moments from the property.

This residence is a rare find, offering grandeur, character, and impeccable design by the current owners. If you're seeking a home with historical significance and modern comforts, Charnwood is an opportunity not to be missed.
