Property description

A detached 2/3 bedroomed chalet style bungalow with garage and parking, being superbly located upon an individual elevated plot with spectacular views across the Taw/Torridge Estuary, distant sand dunes and Instow village.

Reception hall, lounge, newly fitted and equipped kitchen/breakfast, ground floor bedroom 3/study/dining room and ground floor bathroom. First floor galleried landing & 2 double bedrooms. Stepped approach and small surrounding gardens. Road level garage.

Originally constructed during the mid 1960's with traditional cavity main external walls (now insulated) with, to the most part, facing brick and Stonetex elevations beneath a concrete interlocking tiled roof.  Windows and external doors have been replaced with uPVC double glazed units and there is a partial gas fired central heating system.  

The kitchen/breakfast room has been refurbished very recently. Whilst at present having the option of a 2/3 bedroom arrangement the ground floor bedroom can be left as such for alternative use as a study/separate dining room or potentially opened up with the front lounge to make a single larger reception room which would have front and rear windows. There should also be scope to create an en-suite facility to the first floor bedrooms by adding further dormers.

The ever changing coastal aspect from the front is quite sensational and with the property having a small and easy to maintain garden arrangement lends itself as a home not only for permanent use but potentially as a private holiday home and/or lettings.

The picturesque Appledore Quayside is just a few hundred metres away as are the choice of local Shops, Restaurants and Public Houses.  The village also has its own Junior/Infants School, Church and regular bus services to the nearby Port and Market town of Bideford (approx. 3 miles).

Just 1 mile around the coastline is the seaside resort of Westward Ho! with its long sandy Beach and adjoining Championship Golf Course.

SERVICES: All mains connected.  Part Gas Central heating.  uPVC Double glaze.

COUNCIL TAX: Band C

DIRECTIONS: From Bideford proceed to Appledore village and continue down to and along the quayside passing the St Mary's Church on the left after which the road turns to the left and into Torridge Road where Tainui will be seen elevated on the left hand side.
