A delightful and spacious first-floor apartment set within an elegant Grade II listed Regency building, enjoying an elevated position overlooking the picturesque Rock Park, with glimpses across the River Taw. Now reduced in price, the property represents excellent value for money and is ideally situated within an easy, level walk of the town centre. Offered for sale with no onward chain, it is an appealing opportunity for those seeking a characterful home in a highly convenient location. The accommodation briefly comprises a communal entrance porch and hallway with stairs rising to the upper floors. A private entrance hallway leads into a bright and welcoming sitting room, featuring two sets of French doors opening onto a private balcony. South-facing and enjoying an elevated aspect, the balcony provides the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the pleasant outlook and surrounding views. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units, together with a built-in oven and hob, while a newly installed gas-fired boiler provides central heating and hot water. There are two well-proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom completing the internal accommodation. Externally, the property benefits from attractive communal gardens to the front. To the rear is an enclosed turning area, together with a garage and additional communal guest parking. In our opinion, this is one of the finest apartments within the building, thanks to its elevated position, sunny south-facing aspect and excellent outlook. Rock Park lies directly opposite, providing wonderful walking opportunities along the river and onward to the Tarka Trail, while the town centre, with its wide range of shops, cafés and amenities, is just a short and level stroll away. Having now been reduced in price, this impressive apartment offers an excellent combination of character, generous accommodation, private outdoor space, garage and parking, together with a highly convenient location. It represents particularly good value for money and is an opportunity not to be missed.
