This elegant three-storey Georgian-style townhouse sits in the heart of Appledore, offering generous room sizes, high ceilings and original sash windows that retain strong period character. The property is particularly notable for its rare combination of a front courtyard and an extensive rear lawn — unusually large for the village — providing private outdoor space for children, pets and gardening enthusiasts. Available chain free, it suits buyers who want immediate possession and a clear route to refurbishment.
Internally the house currently requires significant modernisation: the single bathroom serves five bedrooms and some ceiling works are needed on the top floor. The kitchen and reception rooms provide a solid starting point, with features such as brick fireplace and gas fires, plus a utility room with garden access. The home comes with a gas-fired boiler and some fitted units; the De’Longhi cooker is included in the sale.
Buyers should note the property is Grade II listed. That status preserves historic features but will restrict alterations and can add cost and complexity to renovation or extension plans. The house is offered with freehold tenure and low flood risk; broadband speeds are fast and local crime is very low. Council tax is described as affordable.
For a family wanting space close to Appledore’s shops, quay and primary schools, this period home offers scale and outdoor amenity rare in the village. It will particularly appeal to those prepared to carry out sympathetic modernisation to create a comfortable long-term family home, or to investors exploring holiday-let or multi-room rental potential (subject to listing constraints and local rules).
