The home, in the agent’s words
Read the full agent description
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.
