4 bedroom house for sale

Available with no onward chain and set in the very heart of Bideford on quiet, characterful Willett Street, Lavington Cottage is a handsome period home that blends classic charm with generous, versatile space and an enviable town centre lifestyle. Formerly a successful holiday let and now a much-loved family home, it has been thoughtfully upgraded in recent years, including new solid timber double glazed windows and doors and a high standard of presentation throughout.

The ground floor is arranged around a private, fully enclosed courtyard, enhancing light and flow: a welcoming Porch with an impressive solid wood front door leads into a bright Living Room where French doors open to the garden; a separate Dining Room provides ample space for a large table and links to a discreet understairs Utility/Cloakroom with sink and WC; the Kitchen is practical and stylish with marble effect worktops, a good run of base units, sink with mixer, space for a cooker and undercounter fridge and plumbing for a washing machine, with a door straight out to the courtyard.

Upstairs, 2 particularly generous first floor Bedrooms are complemented by a contemporary Shower Room with a walk-in double enclosure (rainfall head and hand shower), cabinet basin and dual flush WC. The top floor offers an expansive Main Bedroom that easily doubles as a retreat for hobbies or home working, served by a chic, fully tiled Shower Room, and connects to a useful Gym/Office. The fourth Bedroom will also be found on this floor.

Outside, the walled courtyard is a tranquil, low-maintenance suntrap with raised planting, a covered store and gated pedestrian access to the street; cafés, restaurants, shops, the park and the quay are all moments from the front door, and the cottage also benefits from a nearby rented parking space.

A rare opportunity to secure an impressive period property in Bideford’s vibrant centre, Lavington Cottage offers space, flexibility and convenience in equal measure; early viewing is strongly recommended.

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.
