LOCATION

Geographically, Barnstaple sits on the banks of the River Taw near the North Devon coastline.  The area enjoys a unique topography with an extensive sandy beach coastline and close proximity to Exmoor National Park. Barnstaple has expanded from its market town origins, to become the areas Regional Centre.  Several national house builders are completing residential developments within the town and its suburbs.   Commercially the town contains many of the major national retailers and several edge of town developments have been completed.   The sustained wealth and growth of the area has been enhanced following the building of the A361 linking North Devon to the M5 at Tiverton.  The road network has been further enhanced by the construction of the downstream bridge at an estimated cost of £40m.

THE SITUATION

Situated on Alexandra Road part of the Town’s relief road, the property is within the Town Centre and within walking distance of many of its amenities including the High Street, main Post Office, car parking as well as the various Public House and Restaurants that Barnstaple has to offer.  The property is within a primarily residential area on the edge of the Town’s retail centre.

THE PROPERTY AND CONSTRUCTION

The property is of two storey construction with rendered elevations under a pitched slate roof.  There have been latter extensions to the rear to provide further residential accommodation.  At ground floor level is a retail unit, stock room, bottle store, kitchen, lounge, utility room and toilet, all of which can be accessed from either the front or rear of the property.  There is also a self contained entrance to the three bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor.  Given the ability to access the building with self contained entrances it is thought the property could be converted to 2 / 3 residential units, subject to necessary planning permissions.  Alternatively other commercial uses, subject to planning permission, may be considered such as office or take-away.  There is a small outside area to the rear of the property as well as a garage / workshop.
