3 bedroom detached house for sale

Occupying a pleasant position within a well-established residential area, the property lies within easy reach of the centre of Bideford. Glentorr Place was originally constructed as a builder’s workshop and offices but was converted many years ago to create a very spacious three-bedroom, three-reception room residence with a large adjoining workshop.

The building sits above five lock-up garages with an additional garage adjacent. The agents believe this represents an ideal opportunity for buyers requiring extensive parking and garaging, and it may particularly appeal to motor enthusiasts or those needing substantial storage or workshop space.

The current accommodation briefly comprises an entrance lobby, breakfast room and kitchen, dining room, and a good-sized lounge, together with a further ground-floor bedroom and an en-suite wet room. On the first floor there are two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The adjoining workshop, extending to approximately 1,500 sq ft, benefits from an automated roller door, large sliding doors, as well as light, power, and water supply.

Outside, there is an enclosed paved and gravel garden area. Accessed from Glentor Road are the six garages which sit beneath the property.

Planning consent to convert the building into three residential dwellings was granted in 2004 (Application No. 1/1001/2004/COU). This consent has lasped, however further redevelopment opportunities may be available, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions.

The centre of Bideford is within an almost level walk and offers a good range of local and national retailers. The area is renowned for its stunning Atlantic coastline, with the glorious sandy beach at Westward Ho! and the natural beauty of Northam Burrows Country Park nearby.
