Barbican Court, East Looe

Situated just off the Barbican in East Looe and within easy reach of the local shops and the bus route you will find Barbican Court, a small retirement complex of 31 bungalows and apartments set around landscaped gardens that provide a wonderful, tranquil environment for enjoyment and relaxation. In addition to the gardens, residents at Barbican Court also have the use of a superb day room with large conservatory, laundry room, kitchen and peace of mind by way of an emergency call system and a part time on site manager.

Number 24 Barbican Court is a 2 bedroom retirement bungalow situated to one corner of the complex and facing outwards rather than looking into the centre of the complex, which arguably gives this home a little more privacy than some. That said it is only a few yards from the communal gardens where you will find seating areas, an ornamental fish pond and access to the day room and other internal facilities.

Offered for sale with vacant possession and no onward chain this lovely bungalow is perfect for those seeking an independent lifestyle but with the knowledge that like minded neighbours are close by.

Situated on the south coast of Cornwall, Looe is a historic, picturesque, and magical fishing town with quaint old buildings, narrow twisting streets, smugglers taverns, fine restaurants and a wonderful sandy beach with shallow seas and a wealth of rock pools. Divided into East and West by a seven arch bridge and the Looe River, the main town is on the eastern side and offers a diverse range of shops, good facilities, and local amenities. The safe bay and estuary are a favourite with holiday makers as well as sailing, motorboat, and water sports enthusiasts, whilst the activities of the fishing fleet are a constant fascination to all. Looe is easily reached by the M5/A38 and is served by a scenic branch railway from Liskeard that connects through to Plymouth and from here to the rest of the UK.
