About this home
This 1 bedroom ground floor flat is available for over 55's only and enjoys a quiet and secluded position, yet remains conveniently close to all that Newport has to offer. Just a short stroll away, you'll find a local shop, hairdresser, doctor’s surgery, dentist, and many more everyday amenities. Barnstaple town centre is a short walk away, and the beautiful Rock Park is also easily accessible on foot.
As you approach the property, you'll be greeted by a large gated entrance providing access to private parking—with ample space for guests as well. At the front of the property, there's room for a bench and small table.
As you enter the property you come into a generously sized lounge, with a fire place where the back boiler is located. The kitchen is a good space and has room to have a small dining room table.
Unlike many one-bedroom flats, this home offers excellent storage solutions. Two hallway cupboards provide ideal space for items such as a vacuum cleaner, ironing board, and other household essentials.
The main bedroom is well-proportioned and comfortably accommodates a double bed. It boasts an abundance of built-in storage. The bathroom, although dated, has a fully functioning toilet, hand basin and bath tub.
If you're searching for a move-in-ready retirement home within a small, secure, and well-maintained gated community, this property ticks all the boxes. From our office continue along Barbican Road and at the roundabout just past the Esso garage turn right into Victoria Road. Follow the road taking the 3rd turning on the left into Newport Road. Carry straight on and just before the shops on the left, turn right into Abyssinia Terrace and Abyssinia Court will be accessed via a gateway which gives vehicular access to residents parking.
