Summary - ROSE COTTAGE PARKHAM BIDEFORD EX39 5PG
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Charming two-bed village home with garage and small garden.
Overlooks historic St James Church with pleasant village setting
Set on a quiet village street overlooking St James Church, Rose Cottage is a characterful mid-terrace two-bedroom home that will appeal to first-time buyers seeking a peaceful rural base. The sitting room is cosy and welcoming, centred on a wood-burning stove within a character fireplace and enhanced by leaded stained-glass panels and exposed beams. The cottage-style kitchen opens to the small, enclosed rear garden, and a boarded loft offers useful storage and potential for future conversion (subject to consents).
Practical perks include a garage with pedestrian access, double glazing installed after 2002, freehold tenure and no onward chain — useful for an easier move. The principal bedroom is notably generous with exposed floorboards and built-in storage; the second double bedroom and shower room complete the living space across two floors.
Buyers should note a few trade-offs: the property is on a small plot and the garden is modest in size, so outdoor space is low-maintenance but limited. Heating runs from an oil-fired boiler and radiators, which can be costlier and require tank servicing. Broadband and mobile signals are average in the area, and the exterior shows some dated elements that may benefit from updating.
Parkham village offers a strong community feel with a pub, shop, primary school and good walking countryside nearby, while Bideford and the Atlantic Highway (A39) are within easy reach for wider services and commuting. Overall, Rose Cottage is a characterful, manageable home with scope to personalise and add value over time.
