Read the full agent description

This Grade II Listed duplex apartment combines character, space and a wonderfully convenient position close to the heart of Barnstaple. Arranged across the second and upper floors, the property offers far more space than you might initially expect, with two generous bedrooms, an impressive living/dining room and attractive views across the surrounding townscape. With no upper chain and an allocated parking space, it could make an appealing first home, investment or town-centre base.

The main living space is a real highlight. Generously proportioned and filled with natural light from its large sash-style windows, there is plenty of room to create distinct areas for relaxing and dining. A large corner sofa sits comfortably at one end while the dining area occupies the other, making this a sociable room that works equally well for quiet evenings at home or having friends over. The elevated position also gives the room a pleasant outlook across the greenery and rooftops beyond.

Separate from the living space, the kitchen provides a good amount of storage and worktop space, with wood-effect cabinetry, contrasting tiled splashbacks and room for the everyday appliances. Also on this level is the bathroom, fitted with a bath and shower over, wash basin and WC.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues with two particularly generous bedrooms. Both have ample space for double beds alongside wardrobes, drawers and additional furniture, with the proportions giving plenty of flexibility for those working from home or simply wanting more bedroom space than is typically found in an apartment.

The position is another major part of the appeal. Barbican Terrace places you within a level walk of Barnstaple town centre, making shops, cafés and everyday amenities easily accessible, while Rock Park is also conveniently close for riverside walks and time outdoors. Despite its central setting, the property benefits from an allocated parking space, a valuable addition for town living.

Outside, there is also a pleasant garden area surrounded by mature planting and greenery, providing somewhere to sit outside during the warmer months.

With its characterful Grade II Listed setting, spacious duplex layout, parking and convenient position, this is an interesting alternative to a more conventional apartment. Offered with no upper chain, it is particularly well suited to buyers looking for a home of their own or investors seeking a well-positioned property close to central Barnstaple.
