Fort Terrace, Barnstaple

Chequers Estate Agents are excited to offer 14 Fort Terrace to the market. This is an individual and substantial property within a convenient location. It was built in 1832 and split with a neighbouring property in 1835. The property has had an interesting past, with part of it offering a convenience store from 1930's, along with stage coach taxi rank and also serving as a women's refuge for army wives in the war. The properties current status is for residential use, and is considered a fantastic family home, due to the size and layout of the home. I would equally attract people looking to start up a home business, with the previous shop area having a separate entrance offering exciting possibilities.

There is also the attraction of a rear courtyard, storage outbuilding and a garage, with additional parking for residents of Fort Terrace. The accommodation on the ground floor comprises of three large reception rooms, kitchen / breakfast room, utility room, additional storage room and ground floor W.C. Three very generous bedrooms, family bathroom and separate W.C will be found on the first floor. The agents recommend an internal inspection to fully appreciate the overall scale of the accommodation on offer, with a range of flexible options.
