Situation & Amenities - Barnstaple, the main town in North Devon, claims to be the oldest borough in the United Kingdom. It lies 68 miles south west of Bristol, 50 miles north of Plymouth and 34 miles north west of the county capital of Exeter. It was founded at the lowest crossing point of the River Taw where its estuary starts to widen, around 7 miles inland from Barnstaple Bay in the Bristol Channel. The town's early medieval layout still appears in the street plan and street names. The area of medieval ship building and repair is still called 'The Strand' an early word for shore. The site is situated near The Strand, between Taw Vale and Litchdon Street where another local landmark; Penrose Almshouses, which date back to the 17th century, are a feature. Also close to the development are the premier hotels in Barnstaple including the impressive Imperial Riverside Hotel and Park Hotel, which overlooks Rock Park. Across the road is Barnstaple museum and within a relatively short walk the Theatre and High Street boasting a series of side streets and large shopping centre, making Barnstaple a great place to explore, whether it be for shopping or a meal out. One can wander the streets for a mix of independent shops and one of Britain largest indoor pannier markets, which sits along side Butchers Row. The Tarka Trail runs through the key points of North Devon before becoming the South West Coastal Path to reach the sea. Named after the Henry Williamson novel, Tarka The Otter, set in North Devon, the trail passes through by the edge of the River Taw Nearby. The bus station is not far, there is a branch line railway station providing a service to Exeter where the main intercity service can be joined. From Barnstaple there is access, via the A361 North Devon Link Road to Junction 27 of the M5 motorway at Tiverton (around 45 minutes) and where Tiverton Parkway also provides rail access to London (Paddington) in around 2 hours. The property is within around 30 minutes' drive of the sandy surfing beaches of Croyde, Putsborough, Saunton (also with championship golf course) and Woolacombe. Exmoor is not much further away as is the Cornish border.

Description - This row of just 6 townhouse forms a brand-new landmark terrace which sits well between established, largely Georgian or Victorian townhouses in the roads which surround Riversvale Terrace. This is the ancient district of Barnstaple where the prime positions were originally taken, overlooking the river and with the popular Rock Park on your doorstep. Riversvale Terrace sits within what were originally the grounds of Riversvale House, a Grade II listed Georgian mansion which is now being sympathetically restored and converted by the same developer, into 6 individual apartments. The townhouses are of traditional construction and present painted rendered elevations with double glazed doors and windows beneath slate roofs. All properties have private balconies and/or terraces along with gardens which are bounded by a stone wall and/or railing onto Taw Vale. The design respects the heritage of the surroundings whilst at the same time creating elegant, exclusive and stylish modern homes. The high standard of craftsmanship and quality of fittings are reflected throughout each property. The properties are considered ideal as principal residences, second homes/UK bases, rental investments (holiday or AST) or possibly a combination of these uses.
