## Description

A well-presented two-bedroom first-floor apartment, set within a beautiful Grade II listed Georgian-style townhouse positioned just a short stroll from Barnstaple town centre and nearby to Rock Park.

The Flat is accessed via a communal entrance and staircase. Entry to the apartment opens directly into a contemporary kitchen-dining space, fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units and integrated appliances, including a fridge freezer, oven, hob and dishwasher.

To the front of the apartment is a generously sized lounge, boasting large sash windows that allow an abundance of natural light to flood the room.

The main bedroom is also located to the front elevation and benefits from built-in wardrobe storage. Leading back through the kitchen and down a few steps is the second bedroom, which would also lend itself well to use as a home office if required and includes a built-in storage cupboard. A modern three-piece white shower room serves the apartment.

The apartment oozes character and offers a wonderful sense of space, combined with a highly convenient location within level walking distance of the town centre. 

Further benefits include parking space to the rear of the property and the added advantage of no onward chain.

From our office proceed along Queen Street to the roundabout, turn left and then bear right at the next roundabout. Take the left hand exit into Summerland Street passing the shop. Continue to the end of the road and bear right into Barbican Terrace and No. 6 will be found on the right hand side.

## 1% Rule

- **Rent ratio:** 0.77% (weak for cashflow)
- **Max investor price (0.8%):** £125,000
- **Target investor price (1%):** £100,000

*Monthly rent ÷ price. 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak. Max investor price = rent ÷ 0.8% (Stoke-style target). Target investor price = rent ÷ 1% (strong cashflow band). Based on OpenRent comparables.*

## Rent-driven metrics

- **Monthly cashflow:** £363/mo (75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term)
- **Cash-on-cash ROI:** 11.6%

*Gross yield = annual rent as % of price (no costs). Cost-to-rent = price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables); under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed. Cashflow = rent − mortgage − 10% maintenance − £25/mo compliance; assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term. ROI = annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).*
