There are many reasons as to why I highly recommend a viewing of this delightfully spacious family home.

Firstly, it is located in one of Bideford's premier developments just a short walk from the Town Centre yet far enough out of the way that you feel a sense of peace and quiet.

Secondly, the property boasts 5 double Bedrooms (3 with En-suite facilities). One of these Bedrooms is located on the Lower Ground Floor where the accommodation would not only be perfect for multi-generational living but due to having a Kitchen, a large Reception Room and a separate entrance door, could make a great holiday let.

Thirdly, the property itself is in great decorative order. It is open, airy and spacious and benefits from a large Kitchen / Diner, an impressive Lounge and a huge Double Garage. It really is the perfect family home.

The property is approached via double iron gates which lead to a paved driveway with ample parking for 4-5 cars. From here you have access to the Double Garage, the Annexe / Lower Ground Floor and the main house.

Upon entering the property, you are greeted by a spacious Hallway leading to the huge Kitchen / Diner. The central Island makes a great breakfast bar and gives the room a great centrepiece - a space for the family to gather. From here you have access to the First Floor (leading to the 4 double Bedrooms, 2 En-suites, and a large family bathroom) as well as the Lower Ground Floor.

Staying on the Ground Floor you will find a Cloakroom, Study and the fantastic Lounge with picture windows and double doors leading onto the sunny, south-facing Balcony - this room is the feature that I feel sets this property apart. When I first visited the home, I couldn’t help but take a moment to stand out there and enjoy the sun and the fantastic views towards the Estuary.

If you head down the set of stairs to the Lower Ground Floor, you’ll have further access to the Annexe, Integrated Garage and the front driveway. As previously mentioned, this floor can be accessed via a separate entrance giving fantastic Annexe potential.

Alongside the Sun Terrace, the remaining outside space at number 5 Ford Rise is both sunny and low-maintenance. To the rear of the property the garden is arranged over 3 tiers and laid mostly to patio. The top tier makes another great seating / entertaining area with a Summerhouse making the most of the fantastic views towards the Estuary.

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 out of the norm 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 in 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 very good regular bus service provides access to North Devon’s ‘capital’, Barnstaple. Bus users can also reach Westward Ho!, Braunton, Appledore, Croyde and Ilfracombe with ease.

Directions
From Bideford Quay follow in the direction of Torrington. After the second mini roundabout, take the right hand turning into Devonshire Park. 5 Ford Rise will be found after a short distance on your right hand side.
