Barclay House
Originally designed as a seed merchant’s warehouse in the Italianate style around 1865, the impressive period facade now gives way to a smart contemporary interior, perfectly suited to short breaks or longer stays.
Sitting on the first floor, the open-plan sitting room and kitchen have a distinctly loft-style feel framed by the original arched windows. The streamlined finish of the kitchen sits perfectly with an overall scheme of modern geometric finishes, rich mahogany coloured flooring and natural textures.
There is a corner modular sofa and the apartment comes with conveniences such as a Smart TV, good Wi-Fi speeds and a Bluetooth speaker.
The kitchen benefits from integrated appliances which give the space a sleek overall finish, while mod cons such as the Tassimo coffee machine is sure to give coffee lovers out there a welcome kick-start to their day.
There are two bedrooms (one king size and one twin) and the two shower rooms (one en-suite) will suit both adult parties and families alike.
There is a small utility room with washing and drying facilities for longer stays, but equally convenient for those coming to the area for fishing or other outdoor pursuits such as walking or cycling.
The town’s pubs, shops and restaurants are a mere wander from the doorstep meaning there is always plenty going on whatever the season. Overall a super apartment in a super location!
