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.
