This compact double-fronted terraced house in central Barnstaple offers a practical, low-cost entry into town-centre living. The bright living room with a sash window and a modern kitchen maximise the home’s footprint, making it suitable for a single occupant or couple. Freehold tenure and very cheap council tax add to affordability.
The property has useful built-in storage in the bedroom, an understairs cupboard, and a stylish shower room with an airing cupboard and electric towel radiator. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting modern working-from-home needs. Flood risk is low.
Buyers should be aware of important neighbourhood and maintenance realities. The immediate area records very high crime and is very deprived, which may affect long-term resale and rental prospects. Externally the facade and roof show wear and will need maintenance or repair. The home is heated by electric storage heaters and has older double glazing (installed before 2002), so energy costs and upgrade work are likely.
For first-time buyers the property represents an affordable central base with clear potential to improve and personalise. Investors can consider short-term letting or rental demand from town-centre renters, but should weigh the local crime statistics and likely need for minor repairs and energy-efficiency upgrades.
