Owner's comments

"We have loved living in this house, affectionately referred to by us as 'the Tardis' because it is deceptively spacious. The interior is light and airy and opens out into the back garden in summer which affords privacy and various suntraps. Sea View Road is quiet and peaceful and consists of a community of friendly neighbours who look out for each other.

It is a 15 minute walk to Westward Ho! beach which has fantastic sunsets, and a 20 minute walk to the beautiful village of Appledore. We have made many lovely memories here with family and friends and it has been a very happy home for us."

Accommodation

There is useful porch extension to the front of the home, of which no other neighbouring properties have, providing a handy entrance to the home and space to hang coats and store shoes etc. A further barn door opens into the sitting room, illuminated by a large window to the front aspect. Unlike many other homes nearby of this style, there is no separate hallway. This creates a larger, more sociable and open area which has stairs to the right rising to the first floor, and open storage underneath. A door straight ahead leads into the kitchen which is fitted with an array of storage cupboards and drawers. There is worksurface space aplenty, along with a stainless steel sink/drainer and space for an electric oven and hob with fitted extractor canopy over. There is ample space for a range of appliances to include a dishwasher, washing machine, free standing fridge/freezer, all in addition to a fitted storage cupboard in the dining space. The kitchen also houses the modern combination boiler that has been installed by the current owner as recently as the last three years. This open plan area at the back of the home flows nicely out to the rear garden via double doors. Plenty of room is also provided for a dining table and chairs, making for a family friendly area which is also perfect for hosting. 

Heading upstairs onto the landing, there is a window to the side aspect which opens up a spacious landing area, giving access to each of the three bedrooms and family bathroom. This comprises a white suite to include a WC, wash hand basin and panelled bath with shower over. Bedroom two is a comfortable double at the back of the home, while the large main bedroom is to the front elevation, along with a third and final single room.

Outside and parking

Unrestricted parking can be found on the road to the front of the property. No allocated parking spaces are provided, but there is ample availability directly outside the property. A path leading to the front door from the pavement, in between a picket fenced border divides two sections laid to shingle. The front garden is a low maintenance space, and the footpath leads to the side where you can step into the front door of the porch. Access is provided to the right down the side of the property and leads into the rear garden via a pedestrian gate. 

It opens up to a substantial garden which is currently also an easy maintenance outside space. A hard-standing area adjoins the back of the home itself allowing for a pleasant seating area, and holds space for a useful wooden storage shed. The majority of the middle section of the garden is laid to shingle, with fenced borders and an array mature shrubs and plants for decoration. A further hard standing area at the back of the garden allows for a further seating space. The whole outside area could be considered a 'blank canvas' with ample space to design and create a space to suit your own taste. 

Location

The property is well positioned within a no-through road, and just off the centre of the desirable coastal village of Northam - around a 5 minute walk to the village square. Northam itself is a charming village situated on the North Devon coast, offering a delightful blend of history, natural beauty, and community spirit. The village offers a convenience store and newsagents along with a doctor’s and dentist surgery, primary schooling and a swimming pool/gym which is just a two minute walk from the property. The nearby Northam Burrows Country Park provides endless dog walks and mind-freeing strolls, and is also home to the Royal North Devon Golf Course. A popular spot for families, retirees and professionals, Northam offers residents a quieter alternative to the more well known coastal locations but is within walking distance of both Westward Ho! and Appledore. Also close by, and connected by a regular bus service, is the historic port town of Bideford, which provides a wider range of facilities including a number of locally owned and operated shops, eateries, banks, a post office, secondary schooling and supermarket shopping. The A39 provides a convenient route to Barnstaple, with High Street shopping and the Tarka rail line to Exeter in the South. From here, the A39 links up with the A361 to Tiverton, where there is a direct rail connection to London Paddington. To the West of Bideford, and further along the A39 is Bude, the gateway to the North Cornwall coast.
