This recently renovated two-bedroom Victorian terrace blends period character with contemporary fittings, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a compact, low-maintenance home. The living room keeps original exposed beams and a feature fireplace; the kitchen is newly fitted with integrated appliances and a brand-new oven, hob and extractor. The property is chain free and sold by Modern Method of Auction — buyers must allow for a reservation fee and swift completion window.
Practical downsides are factual and important: the house is small (circa 562 sq ft) with a low-ceiling kitchen and a small courtyard rather than a full garden. The building is solid-brick (likely uninsulated) and the listing notes damp issues on the period façade — expect to check for historic damp, ventilation and any insulation upgrades. On-street permit parking only; no off-street parking.
Location benefits include a quiet street a short walk from Bideford town centre, shops, cafés and riverside walks. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and council tax costs are very low. The surrounding area shows higher crime rates and local deprivation levels; buyers should weigh local social factors and carry out their own checks. This property suits first-time buyers or investors wanting a characterful, turnkey cottage with modest living space and some maintenance considerations.
