Hills View, Barnstaple EX32

Online Conditional Auction - Starting Price £295,000 - An impressive and spacious Victorian townhouse, perfect for a large family or multi-generational living. With potential to be split into multiple dwellings (subject to planning consent), this versatile property offers substantial accommodation across four floors.

Description

A substantial Victorian residence brimming with potential, ideal for refurbishment, reconfiguration, or income generation.

This imposing period townhouse combines classic Victorian architecture with generous proportions across four floors, offering a rare opportunity for buyers looking to create a bespoke multi-generational home, investment property, or both. While retaining charming features such as painted Marland brick elevations, decorative coving, original fireplaces, and a slate roof, the property would now benefit from modernisation throughout—providing a blank canvas for those with vision.

The ground floor comprises an inviting entrance hall, a bright bay-fronted sitting room, a kitchen/diner with fitted appliances, two bedrooms, and a shower room. This level could easily be refurbished to form a self-contained flat or independent living space—ideal for elderly relatives or tenants.

The first floor offers further scope with a second kitchen/diner, a sitting room, a large double bedroom, and a shower room—lending itself perfectly to separation for dual living or letting potential. The second floor features four spacious bedrooms, including two intercommunicating rooms, all of which could be modernised and reconfigured to suit a variety of living arrangements.

Accessed from the gated rear courtyard, the lower ground floor currently serves as a generous storage and utility area, but has excellent potential for conversion—whether as additional living accommodation, communal spaces, or ancillary income-generating units, subject to the necessary consents.

Externally, the property includes a small courtyard to the front and an enclosed rear courtyard garden with gated off-street parking—an increasingly rare and valuable asset.

With two separate service supplies already in place, this property lends itself to division into multiple self-contained units or conversion into an 8-bedroom HMO (House in Multiple Occupation), subject to the relevant permissions. The existing layout—with multiple reception rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms—presents a strong foundation for either an investment venture or a flexible multi-generational lifestyle.

Occupying a prime position, this grand yet adaptable home is perfectly suited to those seeking a renovation project with scope to enhance, extend or reconfigure. Whether your vision involves updating the interiors for family living, creating rental income, or both—this is a property packed with promise.

All properties sold by conditional auction are sold subject to a reservation fee which is clearly stated in the terms and conditions attached to the property and in the bidding box before a bid is placed. The reservation fee is payable in addition to the final purchase price and is received on a non-refundable basis, subject to the terms of the Reservation Agreement. To ensure that the successful bidder proceeds, the winning buyer is automatically charged a reservation fee and agrees prior to making their bid, to pay any outstanding amount of the property reservation fee immediately at the end of the auction. The auctioneer will be authorised to sign the reservation agreement on both the buyer’s and seller’s behalf. If by the seller’s act, exchange does not occur on or before the expiry of 20 working days from the end of the auction (unless otherwise stated in the "Other Key Info" section in the listing above), the reservation fee shall be fully refunded to the buyer. If the buyer fails to exchange on or before the expiry of 20 working days from the end of the auction (unless otherwise stated in the "Other Key Info" section in the listing above), they will forfeit the full amount of the reservation fee.Fees paid to the Auctioneer may be considered as part of the chargeable consideration for the property and be included in the calculation for stamp duty liability.
