Set on Torrington Lane in East-the-Water, this tidy two-bedroom mid-terrace blends Victorian character with practical, ready-to-live-in accommodation. The layout flows from a spacious living room through a separate dining room to a modern kitchen that opens onto a small rear patio — an easy, low-maintenance outdoor space. A ground-floor shower room and upstairs bedrooms (one with a small rear balcony) complete the home. At about 651 sq ft the footprint is compact but well arranged for everyday living.
The house is offered freehold with no onward chain, making it a straightforward purchase for first-time buyers or an investor seeking a let-ready property. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working or tenant demand. Roadside parking is available immediately outside.
Buyers should note material facts: the property is a Victorian sandstone/limestone build likely without wall insulation, double glazing was installed before 2002, and the plot and rear space are very small. The surrounding area is described as having higher deprivation and average crime levels, which may affect long‑term resale values. Council tax band is very cheap, and there is no flood risk.
Overall this is a characterful, well-maintained home in a convenient, historic part of Bideford. It suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, move-in-ready house close to shops, schools and river walks, or an investor looking for a straightforward rental with solid local demand.
