Glen Cottage East is a Grade II listed character cottage that apparently once served as a local pub. When standing in the spacious Sitting / Dining Room you can easily imagine the place a couple of hundred years ago filled with merry customers, and with an open fire roaring in the corner. Now there is a wood burning stove that fills one chimney breast and a Rayburn in the other. The current owner is in the process of having a new gas boiler installed to bring the property fully up to speed.
The courtyard garden is accessible from the Kitchen as well as the Sitting Room and is south-facing so is sure to soak up the sun. At the moment, the garden is a pale reflection of its former self but you can tell that with a bit of elbow grease and some green fingered magic it will be an enchanting space to be enjoyed again very soon.
There are 3 Bedrooms upstairs as well as a Bathroom. Views over jaunty rooftops towards the town can be enjoyed from upstairs.
I mentioned the fine location earlier and it truly is. The town centre, the park and the river are all within walking distance and you will find yourself in the immediate company of some truly beautiful properties.
Though not formally written into the deeds, there is space to park a car outside the cottage as the current and former owners have done.
This is a one of a kind property and is available for sale with no onward chain. To view, please contact us by your preferred means at our Bideford Office.
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.
