Westward Ho, Bideford

This beautifully presented detached house will be perfect for those looking for a property that can accommodate multi-generational living or for those looking to, perhaps, generate an additional income from Airbnb.

Alongside the main residence, this house has an attached 1 Bedroom Annexe which has its own Kitchen, Wet Room and a Living Room that opens to a private garden. In fact, the plot that number 54 sits on is very generous allowing for the Annexe to have its own front and rear gardens that expertly blend various areas including patios, artificial lawn and low-maintenance stone chipping areas.

The main house has its own garden that has 2 distinct areas and is more of a blank canvas for the future purchaser to add their stamp to. Behind the rear garden is a Detached Double Garage that provides off-road parking for 2 cars to its fore.

Entering the main residence there is a useful Ground Floor Cloakroom just off the attractive Entrance Hall. To the right is a spacious Living Room flooded with natural light from a window to the front and the French doors that open to the aforementioned garden. To the left is an equal size Kitchen / Diner that has been upgraded by the current owner to include new units that will be included in the sale. The Kitchen features a built-in double oven, gas hob and fridge / freezer. The additional American fridge / freezer will be included in the sale. The Kitchen has an understairs storage cupboard and an access door to the Annexe (currently covered with units). The Ground Floor is completed by a useful Utility Room. Upstairs there are 4 spacious Bedrooms with the Main Bedroom having an En-suite Shower Room. The Bedrooms to the front of the house have a fine outlook over a large green and the Bedrooms to the rear overlook the gardens. There is also a fantastic 4-piece main Bathroom.

Overall, this is a great opportunity to acquire a wonderful home that offers a great deal of versatility and can accommodate all manner of familial requirements. This one ticks so many boxes including having a south-facing rear garden and, as such, we would highly recommend a viewing.

There are many country walks around the village and the outlying areas, including the popular Northam Burrows, Appledore Quay and the nearby Westward Ho! Beach.

It’s a popular spot with families that return year on year. Surfers and horse riders love the long sandy beach.

Local amenities include newsagents, mini supermarkets, take-aways and a post office. There’s also a primary school, health and dental centre and a number of churches in the area. Northam also has a decent public swimming pool and gym too. You’ll never be short of places to eat and drink with Appledore, Bideford and Abbotsham on your doorstep with their cornucopia of restaurants and pubs.
