Buckland Brewer, Bideford

This stone-fronted character cottage looks great both on the inside and the outside. It has been thoroughly renovated from top to bottom by the current owner and would now be equally appealing as a comfortable permanent residence or as an appealing holiday home.

The Living Room has been made all the cosier with the addition of a multi-fuel stove and there is also a lovely Dining Room for more formal occasions. The Kitchen is compact but has everything you need, particularly when you consider the house has a large Pantry off the Dining Room. There is scope to extend at the rear of the property to create a larger living space and to add value to this charming home. There are 3 generous Bedrooms upstairs as well as a contemporary Bathroom.

To the rear of the house is a courtyard garden with a useful Workshop and beyond that is a large lawned garden.

This is a lovely property and needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.

Famous for being the hometown of Edward Capern, the poet postman, Buckland Brewer is one of North Devon’s most beautiful villages. The village is surrounded by a diverse landscape of meadows, woodlands, moors and forestry plantations. The impressive tower of the Church of St. Mary (St. Benedict) is 75 ft. high and can be seen for miles around. It has a pub and village hall and it shares schools with Great Torrington and Bideford.

Close by, Great Torrington has RHS Rosemoor, Dartington Crystal and the brilliant Plough Arts Centre with its diverse programme of movies, craft classes, live bands and stand-up comedy.

Reasonable driving from the Atlantic Highway (A39), Buckland Brewer 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. A bus service provides access to North Devon’s ‘capital’, Barnstaple. Bus users can also reach Westward Ho!, Bideford, Braunton, Appledore, Croyde, Okehampton, Holsworthy, Great Torrington, Hartland and Ilfracombe.
