Old Barnstaple Road as its name suggests originally connected North Devon‘s 2 principle towns but is now an approx. 300 yard cul de sac serving a variety of residential property and a farm. 
  
Consequently a much quieter environment has been created all within a convenient walk of the town centre, shops and quayside on the western side of Bideford Town. 
  
There is a medical centre with Lloyds dispensary close by and a choice of public houses, restaurants and a prominent hotel are also an easy walk away.  Bideford affords private and state run schools with a quayside which continues as a picturesque working Port. 
  
SERVICES: Mains water, electricity and drainage. Mains gas is believed to be available as it does serve neighbouring properties. Security alarm.   
  
COUNCIL TAX BAND: E 

DIRECTIONS: From Bideford Quay proceed across the old bridge turning left at the end along Barnstaple Street past the Wooda Surgery on the left hand side and up the short sharp Station Hill at the top of which turn right into Old Barnstaple Road where the property will be found on the left-hand side with house number displayed on the entrance pillars.
