INCENTIVE FOR THIS PLOT - STAMP DUTY PAID!! (Saving £15,500 based on the current asking price).

Plot 150 at Taw Wharf presents a rare and exciting opportunity to secure a spacious four-storey riverside home with a unique level of flexibility. A standout feature is the entire top floor, which offers buyers the freedom to design and configure the space to suit their own lifestyle (subject to building regulations). Whether you envision additional bedrooms and bathrooms, a self-contained space for teenage children, a home office, studio, games room or further living accommodation, this adaptable level allows you to truly shape the home around your needs. See some of our design examples of how this space can be configured in the photo carousel.

Below the top floor, the property is already beautifully arranged for modern living, with three double bedrooms, one en suite, as well as a family bathroom and complemented by a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and living space on the first floor – perfect for both everyday life and entertaining. The final arrangement of the living accommodation and the number of bedrooms is, of course, dependent on how you wish to configure the top floor. The home also benefits from a substantial tandem double garage, ideal for secure parking, storage or workshop use, along with additional driveway parking. River-facing balconies provide the perfect setting to relax and take in the waterside outlook, while solar PV panels and an EPC rating of B ensure energy-efficient, low maintenance living with reduced running costs.

Life at Taw Wharf is all about balance – space without the upkeep, convenience without compromise, and a setting that brings a sense of calm to everyday living.

Positioned right on the edge of the River Taw, these striking contemporary homes are among the very few in Barnstaple to enjoy such an immediate waterside setting. From your own private terrace or balcony, you can take in ever-changing estuary views, watch the rhythm of the river unfold, and enjoy sunsets that transform the skyline – all just moments from the heart of the town.

Despite this peaceful outlook, everything you need is within easy reach. A short walk takes you into Barnstaple town centre, while right on your doorstep is Anchorwood Retail Park, home to ASDA and a range of well-known brands. Cafés, bars and restaurants are all close by, along with the Tarka Leisure Centre, Tesco, local schooling and North Devon College, making this a location that works effortlessly for both families and professionals.

Designed with modern living in mind, these homes offer an impressive sense of space, with accommodation ranging from approximately 160m² up to around 200m². The layouts are highly versatile, easily adapting to the way you live – whether that’s creating dedicated work-from-home areas, additional living space or guest accommodation. In select homes, including Plot 150, the top floor offers a particularly exciting opportunity, allowing buyers to configure the space to suit their lifestyle, from additional bedrooms and bathrooms to a luxurious suite or creative studio.

Practicality has been carefully considered throughout. Each home benefits from a substantial tandem garage, ideal not only for secure parking but also for storage, a workshop or even future conversion, subject to requirements. Additional parking to the front further enhances everyday convenience.

These homes are perfectly suited to those seeking a lower maintenance lifestyle without sacrificing space or quality. Built by award-winning Pearce Homes, the finish is exceptional, with stylish contemporary interiors, high-quality kitchens complete with Bosch integrated appliances, and beautifully appointed bathrooms with modern sanitaryware and tiling.

Energy efficiency is another standout feature. With solar PV panels helping to supplement electricity use and EPC ratings in the high B range, these homes are designed to keep running costs lower while reducing environmental impact – an increasingly important consideration for modern buyers.

Outdoor living is also a key part of the appeal. Whether it’s a morning coffee overlooking the river, an evening drink as the sun sets, or simply a quiet moment to unwind, the balconies and roof terraces provide a wonderful extension of the living space and a constant connection to the waterside setting.

Taw Wharf itself has been thoughtfully designed to reflect its maritime heritage, combining contemporary architecture with materials and styling that complement its riverside surroundings. With landscaped areas, riverside walks and easy access to North Devon’s beaches, countryside and the Tarka Trail, it offers a lifestyle rich in both relaxation and activity.

To make your move even easier, a range of incentives are available on selected plots.

These are homes that truly understand modern living – spacious, efficient, beautifully finished and perfectly placed. A rare opportunity to enjoy waterside living in the very heart of Barnstaple.
