Priory Road, Pilton, EX31 1NX

A charming former Miller’s cottage dating back to the 1870s, quietly tucked away in a sought-after Pilton location, offering characterful accommodation, a mature rear garden and convenient parking, all within easy walking distance of Barnstaple town centre.

Description - This charming end-terraced cottage is an extended former Miller’s cottage dating back to the 1870s, beautifully positioned within a tucked-away and highly desirable residential location. Despite its peaceful setting, the property is within a short and level stroll of Pilton High Street, the local park and Barnstaple town centre.

Rich in period charm, the cottage has been extensively and sympathetically refurbished in recent years to a high standard, successfully blending character features with modern-day comfort. Improvements include re-plastering, a new gas central heating system, double glazing and chimney re-pointing.

The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged over two floors. At the heart of the home is a bright and spacious living/dining room, featuring a log burner which creates a warm and welcoming focal point. The fitted kitchen is tastefully appointed with a range of appliances and enjoys views over the rear garden. To the first floor are two bedrooms, including a double, along with a well-presented family bathroom.

Outside, the property benefits from a lovely enclosed rear garden which has been carefully landscaped by the current vendor, providing a mature and private cottage-style retreat rarely found so close to the town centre.

Further advantages include communal parking allocated for the row of cottages, additional nearby unrestricted roadside parking, and the notable benefit of no onward chain.

Located within Pilton, one of Barnstaple’s most sought-after and characterful districts, the property enjoys a village-like atmosphere with a strong sense of community, independent shops and cafés, while offering excellent access to wider town amenities, transport links and the North Devon coastline beyond.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful period home in one of Barnstaple’s most appealing and convenient locations.
