Owner's Insight

"We bought the flat over twenty years ago when we returned to Devon from London, and it has been a sound investment with strong occupancy levels, and only experienced good tenants. The reasons we bought remain as prominent today, with the generous size, wonderful location, attractive garden, and allocated parking, all high on most buyers wish list.

The property will be sold chain free with vacant possession, and whether the next owners look to reside at Barrington House, or continue as a rental investment, we are positive it will make a great purchase for them."
