Flat for sale in Marine Parade, Instow, Bideford EX39

This spacious three bedroom top floor apartment offers unrivalled views over the estuary of the River Torridge directly towards the pretty fishing village of Appledore, up the river towards Bideford town and out towards the Atlantic Ocean.

This particular home also features a garage with parking which is located opposite Marine Court's entrance.

Ideal for a second home the property is right in the heart of the village on the waters edge and needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.

Accessed via a recently redecorated and communal entrance with intercom, stairs rise up to the top floor with a large window providing an initial glimpse of the views before arriving at the entrance to the apartment.

Once inside the property is well presented and decorated in light neutral colours with wide floor to ceiling windows in the living room allowing plenty of natural light to flood in. Extending to over 23ft x 22ft the seating area also includes a set of sliding patio doors which open up onto an external balcony beyond. It goes without saying that the balcony offers superb views over the estuary and provides an ideal place to sit and have breakfast or alternatively watch the sun go down over a glass of wine. Also in the main living area are some useful built in storage cupboards and an allocated space for formal dining.

The kitchen features a range of matching eye level and base units with ample worktop space. Again this room boasts lovely views via the estuary facing window which is positioned directly above the breakfast bar.

Outside at the rear gated access leads to a secluded brick paved patio leading to a level lawn both of which benefit from stunning views.
