Found in the historic old quarter of Bideford, the home clearly requires various works of improvement which is reflected in the competitive asking price. What you get though, with regards to plot size and potential, is off the scale. The property sits on a plot of roughly 1022m2 with a garden that would be considered large for somewhere in the countryside let alone in the middle of town. There is rear access to the garden via a private road where you will find a Garage and parking.
The house is an imposing period residence with its accommodation arranged over 3 floors with spacious rooms, large hallways and high ceilings, there is so much potential within these walls. Downstairs, there are 2 Reception Rooms, a large Kitchen / Diner and a Conservatory. The First Floor is home to 4 Bedrooms, a Bathroom and a Shower Room with a further 2 very generous double Bedrooms found on the Top Floor.
With an array of Outbuildings, interesting garden spaces and bundles of potential, this property needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.
Bideford is a peaceful olde worlde market town on the River Torridge. The main district is on the west bank and its narrow streets filled with white painted houses sprawl from the working quay, up the slopes to the outer suburbs. A former historic port town, Bideford is a great place to explore, whether it’s a trip to the shops or a restaurant outing there's something for everyone. The Pannier Market is a brilliant example of the town’s originality, with its terrace of artists’ workshops and independent shops. The town also champions sports at a grassroots level with both the local rugby and football teams having healthy followings. There are no end of ways to join in the community spirit of this wonderful white town on the hill.
All the amenities you'll ever need are to be found within easy reach of Bideford. To the north are the coastal towns of Westward Ho!, Appledore and Northam, all of which will figure in your day-to-day routines if you enjoy the sea or the outdoor life. Northam boasts a brilliant indoor swimming pool and gym.
Bideford is within short driving distance of the Atlantic Highway (A39) which is the main feeder route across the region leading to Cornwall in the south-west and to the M5 in the east. A regular bus service provides access to North Devon’s ‘capital’, Barnstaple. Bus users can also reach Westward Ho!, Braunton, Appledore, Croyde and Ilfracombe.
