Situation - Hazelhurst is prominently situated on one of the most sought-after residential roads in Bideford, popular due to its close proximity to local amenities and some of the most individual and attractive architecture to be found in Bideford. The historic port and market town of Bideford sits on the banks of the River Torridge and offers a wide range of facilities all within walking distance including various shops, butchers, pubs and restaurants. Bideford has schooling for all ages (public and private), five supermarkets, a variety of cafes, boutique shops, places of worship and a large public park. There is also a nearby shopping outlet and retail complex with a range of popular brands such as Nike, Crew Clothing and Starbucks. From Bideford, there is also access to the Tarka Trail which affords superb walks and cycle rides that extend beyond Torrington and Barnstaple, passing the beach at Instow (around 3 miles away). The renowned coastal village of Westward Ho! is also nearby, which benefits from a three mile long safe and sandy blue flag beach which adjoins Northam Burrows Country Park and The Royal North Devon Golf Course. There are also a good range of amenities for its size, as well as access to the South West Coast Path, which affords excellent walks and stunning vistas of the rugged North Devon coastline.

Tucked away behind partly walled gardens in this prime location, it is ideally placed to enjoy all the conveniences of the town yet with the added benefits of space and privacy. The property is beautifully presented and is a fine example of Victorian architecture. It includes many period features which have been blended well with 21st century refinements while also benefiting from notable improvements including reconditioned windows, internal secondary glazing and a new central heating system. The setting and private, secluded gardens are lovely and are accessed via an electric gate which also leads to extensive parking.
