A compact one-bedroom ground-floor flat in a gated, over-55s development close to Barnstaple town centre and Rock Park. The property sits within quiet communal gardens and includes private parking via a gated entrance. The living space is well-proportioned for a retirement home and benefits from built-in bedroom storage and two useful hallway cupboards.
The flat has practical features: double glazing, mains gas boiler and radiators, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. A small private garden/patio offers room for seating or plants, and the communal grounds provide a quiet, low-maintenance outdoor space. With no onward chain, this offers a straightforward purchase for a buyer seeking immediate occupation or modest updating.
Notable negatives are factual and important: the property is leasehold and for over-55s only, it is small at about 352 sq ft, and it needs renovation — the bathroom is dated and general refreshing is required. The lounge houses a fireplace with the back boiler, which may need inspection or updating. The wider area shows relative deprivation compared with national averages; local services are close but the neighbourhood is described as constrained for renters.
This flat is best suited to a downsizing buyer or retiree wanting a secure, low-maintenance base near town. Buyers should factor in renovation costs and the restrictions of leasehold, but will gain a quiet, accessible home with parking, storage and immediate availability.
