Description - Entering the market with the advantage of no ongoing chain is this charming three bedroom period home, boasting a spacious roof terrace, a cinema/games room and rare integral double garage/workshop - an exceptional find in the heart of Appledore!
Positioned directly opposite the historic Grade II Listed Richmond Dry Dock, The Boat House is believed to have originally served as the premises of a well-known Appledore sail maker, before being thoughtfully converted into a residential property in 1998.
In more recent years, the home has been successfully operated as a holiday let, with the property boasting stylish and versatile living space now comprising three generously sized bedrooms, a cinema/games room, a sleek contemporary bathroom, and two additional shower rooms, arranged over two levels.
While the property currently operates as a successful holiday let, it would equally suit use as a residential rental or a cherished main or second home.
Accommodation - The main entrance is approached from New Street, with steps descending to an internal hallway of considerable size, providing access to all principal rooms. From this hallway, a secondary staircase descends to a converted cinema and games room, complete with its own shower room.
Off the main hallway, doors open to three generously sized double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the third bedroom has convenient access to a separate WC. A well-appointed family bathroom is also located along the hallway, as well as a staircase leading up to the roof terrace and access to the main living area.
At the far end of the hallway is the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space, which offers delightful estuary views across the old dockyard towards Instow. From the main hallway, a secure metal hatch provides access via stairs to the newly finished roof terrace — a superb spot for entertaining guests.
Garage And Parking - The integral garage is accessed directly from New Quay Street via traditional folding wooden double doors, or internally through the hallway leading into the cinema/games room. Measuring approximately 36' x 17', the space is perfectly suited to car or boating enthusiasts, especially with easy access to local slipways at Appledore, Westward Ho!, Bideford, Instow, and the Yacht Club—each offering direct entry into the Torridge Estuary. Equipped with power, lighting, and water, the garage also lends itself well to workshop use. It features sloping concrete flooring, a built-in workbench, shelving, and a handy mezzanine storage area positioned above the entrance doors.
Property Information - All mains connected.
Gas fired radiator central heating throughout.
