Apartment 6 occupies the top floor of a sympathetically converted Victorian school building, offering dramatic double-height ceilings, generous rooms and far-reaching town views. The open-plan living and kitchen area measures over 20ft x 20ft, floods with natural light from multiple windows and includes a woodburner and space to create a mezzanine — ideal for buyers seeking a striking, social living space.
This three-bedroom home comes with two allocated off-street parking spaces and access to landscaped communal gardens. The conversion was completed in 2010 and the flat is offered chain-free with vacant possession, making it straightforward for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors to move quickly. The 999-year lease (from 2017) provides long-term security.
Practical considerations are clear: the property uses electric room heaters (no communal gas), has a modest annual service charge (£1,503.06) and ground rent (£180pa), and is reached by communal stairs only — there is no lift. The building’s solid brick construction appears to lack modern cavity insulation, which may affect heating efficiency and running costs.
Overall this is a characterful, spacious apartment with strong rental and lifestyle appeal close to Bideford town centre, suitable for purchasers who value period features, large flexible living space and parking, but who accept higher running costs and communal service charges.
