1 bedroom flat for sale

Come and have a look at this spacious and bright first-floor flat - honestly, the light just pours in and you get cracking views out the front, all the way over to Portmore Golf Course. The place is really well looked after, with gas central heating to keep you toasty, double glazing, laminate floors for easy cleaning, and a modern kitchen and bathroom. Now, here’s the thing: there are only 59 years left on the lease, so you’d need to buy with cash. That said, the vendor reckons you can extend the lease for about £16,000 paid to the freeholder, but it’s definitely worth checking the details yourself. With a good long lease, the flat could quite easily be worth substantially more!

It’s been let out for years with great success, and although notice has been given, the current tenant is keen to stay if you’re looking for an investment - so you wouldn’t have to worry about any gaps in rental income. This would absolutely suit first-time buyers, but equally, it makes a top-notch investment property. Plus, it’s nicely positioned right on the edge of Barnstaple. What’s not to love?
