"The situation is perfect, just two lighted crossings from the bottom of Barnstaple's High Street. The security is very reassuring. Best of both worlds, the privacy of your own front door and the joy of communal life if you wish. A lively social club, with organised outings, parties, quizzes etc. A second to none development manager." Show less
