Semi-detached house for sale in Northdown Road, Bideford EX39

This is an exciting opportunity for confident buyers to acquire an impressive wing of a substantial early Victorian gentleman’s residence - Captain Culworth's to be precise, which was successfully divided many years ago into 3 fully self-contained homes, each with individual accommodation and private gardens. Although it is clear that works of modernisation and improvement will be required, we think that the discerning buyer will see that this has the potential to be a remarkable and spacious home in a lovely, private location.

The house is accessed from Northdown Road via a private drive that leads up and around to the front of the property. Although currently overgrown, it is clear that there will be plenty of space for parking and manoeuvring.

The UPVC double glazed entrance door leads into the Kitchen which is currently basic and will require updating - it is of a good square size and is functional. From here, access is granted to an extensive Entrance Hall that leads to a Cloakroom and the First Floor via stairs. The Ground Floor also features 2 very grand Living Rooms that have UPVC double glazed sash windows (1 being a bay window) which overlook the rear garden. Period features include floorboards, picture rails, ceiling rose and 2 open fireplaces (1 with an ornate wooden mantle).

Upstairs, you immediately come to a spacious Landing flooded with natural light from 2 sash windows. This leads to 3 very generous Bedrooms (all with modern UPVC double glazed sash windows). Bedrooms 1 and 2 are of an especially good size and overlook the rear garden. They are light and airy and feature wooden floorboards. Bedroom 3 looks over the driveway and houses the hot water tank. This room currently has ceiling damage. There is also a spacious Wet Room on this floor that serves the Bedrooms.

The rear garden is currently something of an overgrown mystery but an idea of size can be gleaned from the photo and the attached plan.

This property is available for sale with the distinct advantage of having no onward chain. We would highly recommend a viewing to appreciate the potential and uniqueness of the location.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.

Bus users can also reach Westward Ho!, Braunton, Appledore, Croyde and Ilfracombe.<br/><br/><b>Directions</b><br/>From Bideford Quay proceed up Bridgeland Street bearing right at the top onto North Road and continue to the end.
