LOCATION
With over 40,000 inhabitants including nearby villages, Barnstaple is a thriving town near to beautiful beaches and countryside, and the centre of North Devon in commerce, culture, education and service provision. It has a wide variety of businesses attracting tourists and permanent residents year-round, including a vibrant and diverse collection of bars and restaurants for evening footfall. Barnstaple is easily reached via the A361 which leads to the M5 at Junction 27, has a station with hourly trains to Exeter at peak times, and Exeter airport is an hour away. The town is rapidly expanding with several new housing and commercial developments currently underway, and more than 5,000 new houses and further economic development planned for the near future. The notable towns of Bideford (9 miles), Woolacombe (14 miles), Ilfracombe (12 miles), South Molton (12 miles) and Torrington (14 miles) are also nearby.
THE SITUATION
Occupying a prominent location on Barnstaple Town Square the premises overlooks the Albert Clock Tower, water fountain and River Taw. The central location of the subject property means that it is also within close proximity of the town's High Street as well as The Tarka Trail.
THE PROPERTY AND CONSTRUCTION
Being of three storey construction under a pitched slate roof (replaced in 2012), the premises have most recently been utilised as a ground floor office with a maisonette on first and second floors which has been rented by owners. In the past few months the property has been extensively refurbished internally including new kitchen, floor coverings and redecoration. The ground floor provides a single fronted retail / office unit of 261 sq.ft (24 sq.m) and is considered suitable for a wide variety of users such as hairdressers, office, treatment room etc. The self contained maisonette benefits from views over the Town Square’s Albert Clock Tower as well as the River Taw, with the refurbished residential parts consisting of 2/3 bedrooms, 4 piece bathroom and a lounge / diner with adjoining kitchen, whilst also benefitting from gas central heating and double glazing. Three Phase electricity was installed in 2013 with FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) available on The Square.
