Description
A classic detached double bay fronted Edwardian 'seaside' Villa arranged over 3 floors with 2 self contained ground floor flats and superbly presented and spacious upper floor accommodation. Complimented by a most attractive 90' x 50' landscaped rear garden with a number of useful storage sheds including a studio/hobbies room. Location within the heart of the village with facilities and the beach to hand. Viewing highly recommended.
Penkenna House has striking external rendered and whitened elevations with black quoins, replacement upvc double glazed windows all beneath re-slated main roof coverings.
Originally built circa 1911 and improved over the years by the present owners to a particularly high standard that is sure to impress upon inspection.
The 90' x 50' fully enclosed rear garden has been thoughtfully and beautifully landscaped whilst at the front there is a carport as well as on-site parking for 2/3 vehicles.
The present arrangement has suited the owners who have been able to cater for dependent elderly relatives whilst also being able to have their own quarters where they use to operate a successful B&B.
Alternatively as each accommodation unit is fully self contained and separately serviced so as to allow for a 'Home and Income' format to a level and type that suits a variety of uses i.e. permanent, holiday lettings or Airbnb with or without B & B or reinstatement to a larger single dwelling again.
Centrally situated within this sought after coastal village and a level walk from a good choice of local shops, Post Office, Restaurants and Bars and within sight and sound of the sea and sandy beach.
There is ready access to the coastal footpath, miles of unspoilt Cliffside walks and the Royal North Devon Golf Club with the oldest Links Course in England is set close by.
Regular bus services commute to the Port and Market town of Bideford (approx. 3 miles) and the North Devon Link Road is within 1 mile allowing ease of communication to North Devon's principal town of Barnstaple (12 miles) and the M5 Motorway north of Tiverton (approx. 45 miles).
SERVICES: All mains connected. Gas central heating to each unit. Fire alarm system.
TENURE: Freehold.
