Parkham, Bideford

This is a very unique opportunity to acquire a well-presented 3 Bedroom semi-detached house with an impressive and spacious Barn, all set within a quiet woodland location on the outskirts of Parkham.

Originally built for forestry workers, hence the amazing setting, this property has been thoroughly re-built and renovated by the current owners. The house has a fantastic Kitchen / Diner with under-floor heating and a spacious Lounge made cosy by the wood burning stove. There are 3 Bedrooms upstairs and a Bathroom. The 2 main Bedrooms have great views out over the south-facing wooded valley to the front of the property.

The grounds around the house extend to approximately 0.6 acres and include lawned areas to the front and back of the house as well as parking areas for numerous vehicles. The Barn will surely be a godsend to the right buyer especially for those with an interest in vehicles. Given its size, it will be able to house numerous vehicles and would make a great hobby space or workshop.

The owners are in the process of finishing off various jobs, such as the installation of a new Shower Room to make the property even more appealing. There is also plenty of scope here to extend the current house on one or two levels if extra accommodation is required.

This unique home is sure to be someone’s dream property, why not visit to see if it could be yours?

Parkham village is close to the Atantic Highway (A39). It has a butchers shop, a pub, a school and a village hall. Allardice Hall, which celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2007, is used regularly by community groups, church and school for a host of fun and fundraising events. The parish church of St. James is in a peaceful setting behind what was once the Village Green and has an 84 ft. high tower.

There are three long established pubs in the parish serving good food and real ales, the Coach and Horses at Horns Cross, the Hoops Inn a little further down the A39 and the Bell Inn in Parkham village itself. You are close to Bideford for banking facilities, colleges and schools.

Close to the Atlantic Highway (A39), Parkham is well served by the main feeder route across the region leading to Wadebridge in Cornwall to the south-west and to the M5 by Tiverton in the east.
