Bideford, Devon

This is a beautifully presented 3 Bedroom terraced home situated in a sought after area of Bideford. This property offers a delightful blend of period character and modern living, perfect for families, first time buyers, or those looking for an investment opportunity.

Fort Terrace is close to local schools (including East-the-Water Primary School), shops and Bideford Quay, offering riverside walks and easy access to transport links.

Its position, whilst on a main road, sets it back away from the road with a tiered front garden. This, in combination with full double glazing throughout, keeps it a peaceful property at all times of the day, affording all the benefits of its central location without the drawbacks. The elevated position also provides beautiful views across the River Torridge and Bideford from the front patio.

The property is well-maintained throughout, with original floor tiles in the Hallway guiding you through to an expansive and bright Kitchen / Diner - ideal for entertaining or for family meals. This leads to a low-maintenance rear garden, great for summer barbecues, gardening or simply relaxing.

Up the staircase from the Hallway is the Family Shower Room and 3 well-sized Bedrooms, 2 of which boast views over the town below. Upstairs, again, leads to the Attic Room, filled with natural light from 3 velux windows, and affording ample storage space for christmas trees and whatever else. The ceiling needs some fresh plasterboards to finish it off, but for so much house at such a competitive price, you'd be putting them up with a smile on your face.

Rear access to the property leads to a parking space and a Garage, a real benefit in this central location.

East-The-Water is a suburb of Bideford that, as the name describes, is on the eastern bank of the River Torridge to the main town. It operates fairly independently as it has its own shops, community hall and a well-regarded primary school. East-The-Water was once the mining heart of North Devon, with the unique form of coal, Bideford Black, sourced from the area all the way to the sea. Chudleigh Fort and park is close by and commands great views of Bideford and the old bridge. When you need to be practical, one of the towns largest supermarkets is also very close by on foot.

In the wider area, Bideford boasts a host of pubs, restaurants, a weekly cinema and various sporting clubs to join/follow. It has many open spaces to explore as well as pleasant river walks along the River Torridge or by the working Quay. Bideford also supports a raft of interesting independent shops and small businesses in its narrow streets. Check out the Pannier Market and Market Place shops for its array of craft and farm food stores.

East-The-Water is within short driving distance of the Atlantic Highway (A39) that is 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 and Ilfracombe.
