Set over three floors, 'Caradon' is a substantial period semi-detached house offering sweeping estuary and coastal views, a private garden and generous parking including a double garage. The property has been modernised in parts, benefits from solar PV and solar thermal panels, and presents flexible living space with a sun room, sitting room, dining room, snug/office and a ground-floor utility. With around 2,610 sq ft of accommodation, it suits a family seeking space, coastal lifestyle and home-working potential.
The location is a major asset: level walking distance to Instow’s sandy beach, quay and village amenities, with the South West Coast Path and Tarka Trail nearby. Good local schools, low crime, fast broadband availability and regular bus links to Bideford and Barnstaple add everyday convenience. The adjoining property is also offered separately, presenting potential for extended ownership or rental income.
There are some practical points to note. The house’s granite walls are likely uninsulated (as-built), so further insulation and energy-efficiency upgrades may be advisable despite the EPC C and existing solar systems. The plot is described as small relative to the house, so outdoor space is private but not extensive. Council tax band D and freehold tenure apply.
Overall this is a rare, character-filled coastal home with strong family and lifestyle appeal, immediate sea access and sensible scope for energy upgrades or cosmetic updating to personalise the large internal spaces.
