This bright upper-floor one-bedroom flat in Alexandra Court offers low-maintenance living for buyers aged 55 and over. The generous living/dining room benefits from far-reaching town views and plenty of natural light, while the double bedroom includes built-in wardrobes for tidy storage. The interior is well-presented, with a contemporary shower room and a fitted kitchen with space for a washer/dryer.
The development is warden-supported and includes resident off-street parking and communal grounds, making day-to-day life easier and more secure. The flat’s compact layout (around 470 sq ft) is straightforward to manage and suits someone looking to downsize without sacrificing comfort or proximity to Barnstaple town centre and local amenities.
Important practical considerations: the property is leasehold with approximately 60 years remaining. This may restrict mortgage options and could deter some lenders. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, and the wider area records high crime and significant deprivation levels, which may influence insurance and personal security considerations.
Overall, this apartment is a convenient, well-maintained option for an over-55 buyer seeking a manageable home close to shops, medical centres and public transport, provided you factor in the lease length and the electric heating arrangement.
