Summary - WOODBINE COTTAGE TADWORTHY ROAD NORTHAM BIDEFORD EX39 1JP
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Period charm, sea views, and an income-generating annexe — ideal for large or multi-generational families..
Five bedrooms and three bathrooms, versatile multi-storey family layout
Woodbine Cottage is a substantial Victorian detached home on Tadworthy Road, recently renovated to blend original character with contemporary living. Elevated grounds deliver sea views towards Baggy Point, an expansive open-plan kitchen/living hub with slate floors and underfloor heating, plus a high-quality insulated conservatory for year-round use. The property includes a self-contained holiday annexe (Sea Sanctuary) already let commercially, creating clear income potential or flexible multi-generational accommodation.
The house is particularly well suited to large families or multi-generational buyers seeking versatile space: five bedrooms, three bathrooms, multiple reception rooms, generous pantry and utility, and an adaptable second conservatory that could serve as a studio or therapy room. Outside provides terrace seating, a pergola/gazebo, hot tub and lawned areas for entertaining and play. Off-street parking and a double garage add practical value.
Important practical points are stated plainly: the double garage currently has planning pending for conversion into a separate four-bedroom dwelling (decision expected November 2025) but permission is not yet granted. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is only average. The cottage’s original granite walls are assumed uninsulated, which may affect running costs despite modern gas boiler heating and double glazing installed post-2002. Council tax is above average.
Overall this is a rare coastal opportunity combining period charm, flexible accommodation and income options. Buyers should value the sea outlook and newly renovated interior while factoring in insulation assumptions, connectivity limitations and the pending nature of garage planning consent.
