Summary - 28 FORE STREET NORTHAM BIDEFORD EX39 1AW
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Characterful 2-bed cottage two minutes from local amenities and coastal walks.
Victorian 2-bedroom mid-terrace, freehold
A charming two-bedroom Victorian cottage tucked on Fore Street in Northam, this compact mid-terrace offers a warm, characterful home step‑from local shops, pub, doctors and the village amenities. The ground floor is arranged for easy living with a spacious living/dining room centred on a stone chimneybreast and wood burning stove, plus a contemporary kitchen with appliances included. The enclosed east-facing rear garden is low‑maintenance and includes a substantial shed.
Accommodation is practical for a first-time buyer or couple: two double bedrooms upstairs, a smart ground-floor shower room (macerator WC) and useful understairs and built-in bedroom storage. The property is offered freehold and benefits from double glazing and fast broadband, making it ready for everyday use straight away.
There are some energy and improvement considerations to factor in. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the original granite walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so further insulation or heating upgrades would improve comfort and running costs. The plot is small and the garden, while low‑maintenance, would suit simple outdoor use rather than extensive planting. The area shows local deprivation indicators, though crime is low and the location is convenient for coastal walks and transport links.
Overall, this cottage suits a buyer seeking a compact, characterful starter home with sensible scope for energy improvements and cosmetic updates. Its location on Fore Street gives a village‑centre lifestyle with immediate access to community amenities and nearby beaches and countryside.
