The open-plan ground floor creates a bright, sociable space with exposed brick, a wood-burner style fireplace and a practical kitchen area. Upstairs, Bedroom 1 has a bay window with pleasant views across the town towards the river and Long Bridge.
Practical features include uPVC double glazing, mains gas central heating and a useful covered rear courtyard ideal for laundry or a boot room. Residents’ on-street permit parking is available nearby and the property is offered freehold and chain free — ready for a quick move.
There are clear maintenance and location considerations to note. The property is small (approximately 569 sq ft) and the original granite walls are assumed uninsulated, so further insulation or energy improvements may be needed. The wider area records higher crime and significant deprivation, which may concern some buyers. The Energy Performance Certificate is TBC; buyers should factor potential energy costs and upgrade work into their plans.
Overall, this cottage offers an affordable entry into Bideford with town-centre convenience, attractive period features and scope to personalise. It will particularly appeal to buyers prioritising location, character and a compact, low-maintenance footprint, while being realistic about improvement needs.
