Step into Old Tobacco House, a commanding Grade II listed mid-terrace in Bideford’s historic Old Town, a short walk from the quay. The property offers generous, flexible accommodation across three floors, abundant period character and a west-facing elevated garden that soaks up afternoon and evening sun. With 1,561–1,565 sq ft across four bedrooms, open-plan living and a light-filled garden room, it suits a family home or an imposing holiday retreat.
This home is practical and connected: mains gas central heating, double glazing and a 12-month resident parking permit included. The layout includes a large sitting room, well-equipped kitchen/diner, a main bedroom with ensuite cloakroom, three further bedrooms, and a family bathroom with roll-top bath and separate shower. There are useful outbuildings, a covered storage area with plumbing and a historic kiln feature.
Buyers should be aware of material considerations: Grade II listing will restrict changes and may complicate repairs; there is a small flying freehold over the entrance hall. The property has a single family bathroom for four bedrooms and no dedicated off-street parking (on-street permit provided). The area scores high for crime and very deprived in local indices, which will matter to some purchasers.
For the right buyer this is a rare central-period home with substantial footprint and authentic features — fireplaces, exposed stone and wood floors — ready to offer a distinctive town-centre lifestyle or a strong holiday-let/town-base potential, subject to listed-building constraints.
