To the rear of the house is a fully enclosed, south-facing garden with a patio and lawn. There is a fantastic stone Workshop / Office as well as a wooden Shed and a further block-built Shed and WC. The garden is framed at the rear by the local church providing an idyllic backdrop.

On the First Floor there are 3 Bedrooms, all of a good size and with built-in storage, wooden floorboards and plenty of natural light from the UPVC double glazed sash windows. A 3-piece Bathroom serves the Bedrooms on this level. Steps lead up to the Attic Room which provides an occasional fourth Bedroom / Hobby Room or is the perfect room as a teenage retreat.

Northam is a small village, lying north of Bideford and south of Westward Ho! 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.

Local amenities include a supermarket with post office, newsagents and take-aways. There’s also a primary school, a health & 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, Westward Ho! and Abbotsham on your doorstep with their cornucopia of restaurants and pubs. Being a coastal village, seafood is high on the menu, fresh from the morning’s catch, so be sure to patronise your local fishmonger, if that’s your thing. Golf enthusiasts will also have cause to celebrate because there’s a great championship course on the outskirts of Westward Ho! Westward Ho! is also very popular with surfers and body boarders, with many places to get lessons and hire kit for the beginner.

It’s within short driving distance of the Atlantic Highway (A39) that is the main feeder route across the region leading to Wadebridge in Cornwall to the south-west and to the M5 by Tiverton in the east. A bus service provides access to North Devon’s ‘capital’, Barnstaple. Bus users can also reach Westward Ho!, Bideford, Braunton, Appledore, Croyde and Ilfracombe.

Northam’s local area is teeming with activity whether community groups are your thing or you prefer the outdoor life, there’s something to occupy just about everybody all year around.
