Set on a very large, private plot in one of Bideford’s most prestigious locations, Torwood House is a substantial five-bedroom detached family home with flexible accommodation and sunny south-facing gardens. The house offers a comfortable sitting room with a traditional fireplace, an open-plan kitchen/dining area, conservatory/garden room and a large home office that could serve as a ground-floor bedroom for dual occupancy or visiting relatives.
Upstairs the principal suite includes built-in wardrobes and a four-piece ensuite, with three further double bedrooms, a separate shower room and cloakroom. Outside, the mature, gently sloping rear lawn provides a blank canvas for gardeners and leads to a large double garage and generous driveway accessed from Adrian Close. The property also benefits from glimpses of the River Torridge and is a short walk to the quay, coast path and local schools.
Practical points to note: the house was built in the late 1970s/early 1980s with double glazing installed before 2002 and cavity walls with partial insulation assumed. Broadband speeds are slow locally, and some garden trees are covered by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs). Council Tax is in a higher band. These are all factors to consider alongside the home’s strong location, flexible layout and parking/garage provision.
This home will suit buyers seeking a spacious family base in North Devon with the option to work from home or create a dual-occupancy arrangement. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the plot, internal proportions and the convenience of being close to town amenities and the coast.
