The house provides a sense of elegance and grace from the moment you step into the spacious Entrance Hall. The triple aspect Living Room stretches from the front to the back of the house and is flooded with natural light whilst offering eye pleasing outlooks. The Ground Floor offers a well-appointed Dining Room with French doors out to the Veranda and a large Sun Room which would make a very comfortable Office or Playroom. There is a modern Kitchen / Breakfast Room that has the added advantage of a large Utility Room leading directly into the garden and a Ground Floor Shower Room. The First Floor currently has 3 double Bedrooms which could be altered to make an additional Bedroom if required. The largest of the Bedrooms is truly a sight to behold. There is a modern Bathroom and separate WC.
A real feature of the property is the Detached Double Garage that has an additional 2 Workshops.
The property could make a beautiful and enviable family home or may have business potential, subject to any necessary planning consent. We have no hesitation in encouraging an early viewing to avoid disappointment and, with no onward chain, this property is a precious gem in the heart of Bideford Town.
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.
Directions
From Bideford Quay proceed towards Northam. After passing Rydon Garage on your left hand side and just before reaching the Heywood Road roundabout, take the right hand turning into Hanson Park. Swiss Cottage is the first property on your left hand side with its sweeping driveway located just after the house and a pedestrian gate to the front.
