This former fisherman’s cottage offers an affordable entry into Bideford’s town centre. The double-fronted bedroom and living room retain period character — exposed beams, window seats and a solid Victorian fireplace — while a log burner keeps the living space cozy. The property is freehold, council tax band A, and totals about 462 sq ft, making it manageable for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor.
The kitchen extension has been updated with a new roof, UPVC window and glazed back door, creating scope to improve layout or extend further (subject to consent). Practical touches include an under-stairs cupboard for storage and a functional three-piece bathroom. Broadband and mobile signals are strong and the house sits within short walking distance of shops, schools and riverside amenities.
Outside, the south-facing garden is fully enclosed and sunny but currently overgrown and in need of landscaping — a straightforward project that offers space for a conservatory or low-maintenance planting. There is no dedicated parking; residents can apply for nearby street parking permits through North Devon District Council.
Be upfront: the immediate area scores high for deprivation and recorded crime is above average, and the property is compact with low ceilings in parts. For buyers who value character and location over square footage, this cottage presents clear renovation and rental potential at an accessible price point.
