About this home

Positioned to take full advantage of the spectacular river views, this well-presented apartment offers spacious, light-filled accommodation in an exclusive development for the over-60s. Whether relaxing in the living room, enjoying breakfast in the kitchen or unwinding on the balcony, the ever-changing outlook across the River Taw creates a wonderful backdrop to everyday life. The living room comfortably accommodates multiple sofas, occasional furniture and a media unit while still feeling bright and airy. Double doors connect through to the kitchen, allowing the rooms to work together when entertaining while retaining the option of separate living spaces. The kitchen is generously proportioned, with an excellent range of fitted units, an integrated double oven, hob, and extractor, plumbing and space for a washing machine, space for a freestanding fridge-freezer, and ample room for a family dining table. French doors open directly into the conservatory, which in turn leads onto the private balcony, creating the perfect spot to enjoy the far-reaching river views with a morning coffee or evening drink. Both bedrooms are genuine doubles. The principal bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed alongside bedside furniture and further freestanding pieces, whilst benefiting from extensive fitted wardrobes and a spacious en-suite bathroom complete with a bath.

A separate shower room provides added convenience for visitors. Outside, the private balcony is undoubtedly one of the property's standout features, offering a peaceful place to sit and take in the panoramic views across the river and surrounding countryside. The apartment also benefits from allocated parking, additional guest parking and beautifully maintained communal surroundings. Situated in Sticklepath, the development enjoys a convenient position close to Barnstaple's wide range of shops, cafés and everyday amenities, while offering easy access to riverside walks, transport links and everything the town has to offer.
