Buildings History - Ford House, affectionately known as 'The Zoo House', is a substantial period residence dating back to 1844. This cherished local landmark became home to Bideford Zoo in the mid-20th century before closing in the 1970s. After years of dereliction, the building was thoughtfully restored and transformed into six stunning apartments by renowned local builder Grenco Limited in 2006, preserving its unique character and history.
