Situation & Amenities - Sticklepath is a sought-after edge of town residential location within easy access to country walks and the Tarka Trail, which is popular among cyclist and walkers, and leads from Barnstaple to Instow and Braunton and beyond. The property is within reach of local amenities which include shopping facilities, pubs/restaurants, takeaways, primary schooling, Petroc College and regular bus services into the town – which is about a mile away. On the route are amenities including an Asda supermarket and a range of businesses, food outlets, gym, indoor Tarka Tennis Centre and leisure centre, as well as railway service to Exeter. In the opposite direction but also nearby is Roundswell – a modern residential/business district located just outside of the town, accommodating several supermarkets such as Sainsburys, Lidl and Aldi. There is access nearby to the A361 North Devon Link Road, where Jct.27 of the M5 Motorway can be reached in about 45 minutes, and nearby Tiverton Parkway offers trains to London Paddington in just over 2 hours. Within about half an hour by car are the sandy surfing beaches at Croyde, Putsborough, Saunton (also with Championship Golf Course) and Woolacombe. Exmoor National Park can be reached in a similar distance, as can the Cornish border. Other than the schools already mentioned, there are a number of private schools in the area including West Buckland, Kingsley at Bideford and Blundell’s at Tiverton.

Description - We believe that Penrose probably started out as a 1930s bungalow, but over the years the property has been sympathetically extended and remodelled and now provides very generous, bright, spacious and versatile accommodation, which can be utilised as a large single family home or for dual occupation as it has been in recent times. The house presents elevations of brick and painted render, with mainly double glazed but some triple glazed windows, all beneath a tiled roof. There are UPVC soffits and drainpipes for ease of maintenance. The accommodation is very well presented, tastefully modernised and other than use as a private residence may well suit a number of home and income uses such as B & B. Externally there is an extensive parking area, an adjoining garage and a 29ft workshop which may offer potential for development to create yet more accommodation, subject to any necessary planning permission. There is also a good size level garden, which is well-tended.

Special Note 1 - The floorplans provided highlight the potential use of the accommodation as a single home or for dual occupation.
