Compact, characterful one-bedroom in the heart of Old Market, close to Temple Meads..
Grade II* listed period building with period features
Set within the Grade II* listed Barstaple House, this well-presented one-bedroom first-floor flat combines period character with modern finishes. Freshly decorated with new carpets, the apartment offers a bright lounge/diner with south-westerly views over attractive communal gardens and a modern separate kitchen with integrated appliances and a bay window seat.
Practical ownership benefits include a long lease (112 years), a share of freehold and no ground rent. Council tax sits at Band A, keeping running costs low. The building's central Old Market location places Temple Meads and the city centre within easy walking distance, making it a convenient base for work, rail links and city amenities.
Important considerations: the building's listed status may restrict alterations and can complicate consent for changes. Service charges are comparatively high (around £2,540 pa). The flat is compact at about 39 sq m (approx. 420 sq ft), broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and the neighbourhood records very high crime levels. These factors will influence suitability depending on buyer priorities.
This property will suit a buyer seeking a compact city pied-à-terre or an investor looking for a centrally located flat with character. It offers immediate move-in condition but limited scope for major modification due to listing constraints and the building's communal management.
