Summary - LAVINGTON COTTAGE, 12A WILLETT STREET BIDEFORD EX39 2NZ
4 bed 2 bath House
Well-presented, versatile home with private walled courtyard and town-centre convenience.
4 bedrooms and 2 contemporary shower rooms across multiple floors
Lavington Cottage is a handsome period townhouse in the heart of Bideford, recently refurbished and offered chain-free. The house provides four bedrooms across multiple floors, two contemporary shower rooms, and well-presented living spaces including a bright living room with French doors and a separate dining room. The kitchen and understairs utility are practical and neatly finished, and the property has previously been used successfully as a holiday let.
Outside, the fully enclosed walled courtyard is a low‑maintenance suntrap ideal for potted planting and alfresco seating; a nearby rented parking space is available for ease in this central location. The cottage benefits from mains gas central heating, solid timber double-glazed windows and doors fitted in recent years, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for home working or hobby use in the large top-floor room and adjacent gym/office.
Buyers should note the plot is small and the property sits within a built-up town setting, so outdoor space is limited. The building’s granite/whinstone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so there may be scope for further energy-efficiency improvements. The area records higher-than-average crime and parts of the local neighbourhood show deprivation; prospective purchasers should weigh the convenience of central living against these local factors.
Overall, this is a substantial, characterful period cottage with flexible accommodation and strong town-centre convenience. It will suit families or buyers seeking a well-presented home with scope for modest upgrading and easy access to Bideford’s shops, cafés and quay.
