Summary - 48 Barum Court, Litchdon Street, BARNSTAPLE EX32 8QL
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Over-60s second-floor flat close to town and park.
Level walk to Barnstaple town centre and Rock Park
This second-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment in Barum Court suits an older buyer seeking a low-maintenance, central base. Built by McCarthy & Stone within walking distance of Barnstaple town centre and Rock Park, the development offers communal gardens, visitor parking and a lift to upper floors. A 24-hour care service is available year-round, providing reassurance and support.
The apartment is compact (approximately 315 sq ft) with a double bedroom and built-in wardrobes, a living room with space for dining, a fitted kitchen and a shower room. Double glazing and electric storage heaters are fitted; buyers should note heating is electric, which can be more expensive than mains gas. The building dates from the 1980s–90s and is in a mid-terrace form with a traditional internal layout.
Offered chain-free and leasehold, this property is well suited to someone downsizing or seeking retirement convenience close to services. Mobile signal and broadband are strong for the area. Its small footprint makes it ideal for single occupancy but limits space for larger furniture or extensive entertaining.
Practical considerations include the leasehold tenure and any associated service charges and ground rent (buyers should verify current costs). The apartment is in a generally average-crime, city/major town setting within a deprived local area classification, so check local services and community resources if this is a priority.
