About this home
No Onward Chain. An elegant Grade II listed 2 bedroom riverside maisonette of impressive proportions, enjoying a superb position with outstanding views over Rock Park and the River Taw. Full of period charm and grandeur, with gated communal gardens, use of garage, parking and share of the Freehold.
Description - Occupying a particularly enviable position overlooking Rock Park and the River Taw, this distinguished Grade II listed maisonette offers a wonderful combination of elegance, grandeur and period character, all within easy reach of Barnstaple Town Centre.
From its handsome setting and gated communal gardens to the impressive scale of the accommodation within, the property has a genuine sense of occasion. High ceilings, generous room proportions, beautiful sash windows and period detailing combine to create a home of real presence, while the elevated riverside outlook provides a constantly changing backdrop across the park and River Taw.
Offered for sale with no onward chain, the property also benefits from a share of the Freehold, use of an en-bloc single garage with parking and access to attractive, well-maintained communal gardens which further enhance the sense of exclusivity on arrival. A residents parking scheme operates within the area, with permits and visitor passes available from Devon County Council
From the communal entrance hall, stairs rise to the maisonette's private entrance, where a welcoming hallway immediately introduces the scale and character of the accommodation. There is useful built-in storage, an intercom entry system and stairs rising to the upper floor.
The Kitchen / Diner is a particularly appealing room, filled with natural light and enjoying wonderful views towards Rock Park and the River Taw. Fitted with a range of wall and floor units and sink, there is ample space for a substantial dining table, making this an ideal room for both everyday living and entertaining. The riverside outlook gives the room an exceptional sense of openness and connection with its surroundings.
The magnificent Lounge is perhaps the centrepiece of the home. Generous in scale and wonderfully light, it features a beautiful period fireplace and an impressive sash window which perfectly frames the views across the park and river. The combination of elegant proportions, period detailing and far-reaching outlook gives this room a real sense of grandeur.
Also on this level is a spacious double Bedroom with its own En-suite Shower Room.
The upper floor continues the feeling of space, with a bright landing providing extensive storage and access into the eaves. The second Bedroom is again notably generous, with room for substantial bedroom furniture. A well-proportioned 3-piece Bathroom completes the accommodation and offers scope for a future purchaser to update to their own taste.
With its impressive proportions, elegant period features and outstanding riverside setting, this is a home with genuine character and presence. Properties combining this level of space, architectural charm and views over the River Taw are rarely available, making this an exceptional opportunity to acquire a distinctive and refined residence in one of Barnstaple's most attractive locations.
