The way to a new home in Barnstaple

Blame it on the lifestyle, the location or the Devon air, but Barnstaple has suddenly found celebrity appeal. Michael Jackson’s older brother Tito has apparently been house hunting in the town, in search of a place to use as a family base in the UK.

For those with more modest budgets than US soul legends, Redrow’s Rolle Quay development, overlooking the River Yeo and just a short walk from the town centre, is a great choice.

It features two- and three-bedroom apartments from just £195,995 up to £330,000.

Hannah Newnes, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South West), says: “We may not have any celebrity customers – yet – but the location, design and quality of our apartments has created widespread appeal to a variety of purchasers, including young professionals, holiday home-owners, down-sizers and early or active retired.”

Redrow’s recently opened, brand new show apartment definitely has superstar potential! It combines neutral and rich earthy tones and textured natural fabrics with flashes of eye-catching lime, orange and aqua to appeal to people who like cutting edge design.

There’s also contemporary artwork throughout the home and an ‘organic’ design wall-covering in the living room, which complements the oak furniture and wood flooring.

The show home promotes a selection of appealing apartments, with parking or a garage and open plan living spaces that are perfect for entertaining. Some designs have an en-suite to master bedroom and many include a balcony for outdoor space.

Rolle Quay’s location couldn’t be better – just a short drive from the coastal beauty of Devon’s sandy beaches – famed for their surfing hotspots such as Croyde - and the buzz of Barnstaple town centre only a few minutes’ walk away.

For those tempted to buy, there’s the added comfort of ‘re:assure from Redrow’, a package of help, advice and possible incentives all designed to make moving as easy as ABC, from the moment of first enquiry right through until after the home owner has moved in. It even includes a promise to protect the value of customers’ new homes for up to three years.

So, if you want to live at Rolle Quay rather than just be lookin’ through the windows, log on to Redrow.co.uk or visit the development, on Rolle Street, Barnstaple, and view the show home – open daily from 10am to 5.30pm.
