Carisbrooke House is a large Victorian semi-detached property in Bideford’s Abbotsham Road with a great many rooms and very versatile accommodation.

The five-bedroom house is well placed near the town centre and has spacious reception rooms, rooms for potential multi-use and a parking area for three to four cars, plus no onward chain.

The house offers flexible accommodation with a superb master suite upstairs plus a large downstairs bedroom and a shower room next to it which could give the potential for dual occupancy.

Carisbrooke is nicely set back from the road with a good sized private front garden, mainly lawn with shrubs, bush borders and mature trees.

At the back is a private south facing court yard garden with a gate into the large parking area. There are also various outside water taps and a very useful store room/work shop which has power, light and water.

Inside, the attractive entrance porch leads to an impressive period tiled hallway with original dog-legged stair case.

The ground floor includes a utility room, a store room – or potentially an office – plus a large and nicely finished kitchen-diner area, with black marbling work surfaces and matching units.

The dining room has a central mantelpiece with recess for fireplace and stone backing, with doors into the lounge, a good-sized room with a large bay window, recessed mantelpiece with log burner fitted (not currently used as new chimney liner needed).

Upstairs, the master bedroom suite dominates that end of the house, with a, ensuite bath and shower over, plus a dressing room. The other bedrooms run off the landing and corridor, with a shower room and walk in shower too.
