Fore Street, Kingsbridge

The Property:

A charming and surprisingly spacious first-floor apartment in the heart of Kingsbridge, just moments from the town's shops, cafés, restaurants and waterfront. Set within a Grade II Listed building, this characterful home combines period appeal with practical modern living and would make an excellent first home, holiday/second home or investment, subject to any necessary consents.

Accessed via a secure communal entrance serving just three apartments, the property opens into a welcoming fitted kitchen, complete with a good range of integrated appliances including dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, induction hob and fridge. A lovely window seat overlooking Fore Street is a particularly appealing feature, the perfect place to sit with a coffee and watch the town go by. There is also a large walk-in storage cupboard, providing excellent additional storage.

The sitting room is a comfortable and inviting space, with a cosy atmosphere created by the electric fire and a useful built-in desk area, making it well suited to those working from home. The current owner is also willing to include a selection of furniture, subject to separate negotiation.

The generous double bedroom offers excellent storage, with a large fitted wardrobe and additional cupboard space.

The apartment also benefits from an exceptionally spacious bathroom, featuring a large walk-in shower, wash hand basin, WC and a useful cupboard housing the gas-fired central heating boiler.

With gas central heating, an EPC rating of C and Council Tax Band A, the property offers a particularly convenient opportunity to own a home in the centre of Kingsbridge, with the town's everyday amenities and the waterfront all within easy walking distance.
