Owner's comments 

“The balcony is an excellent place to spend sunny evenings watching the sun set over the river. The area is central, close to the town centre, leisure centre and other local amenities, but still feels private. The Tarka trail is right outside your front door and is perfect for dog walking, cycle rides or just a gentle stroll to blow the cobwebs away.”
