Bideford, Devon

Positioned on, arguably, one of the finest plots along Hillcrest Road, this 3 Bedroom semi-detached home enjoys truly spectacular panoramic views stretching from the rolling North Devon countryside across the town of Bideford and the River Torridge to the front, and out to open farmland to the rear.

The property, itself, offers a well-proportioned layout and an exciting opportunity for modernisation. The ground floor features a generously sized Living Room which flows openly into the Kitchen / Diner via a wide archway. This design creates a bright and sociable space ideally suited for family living or entertaining.

Upstairs, you’ll find 3 Bedrooms served by a Family Bathroom. The home benefits UPVC double glazing throughout, providing a sound base for a cosmetic update. While the interiors would benefit from a full refresh, core elements, like windows and layout, offer an excellent starting point for buyers keen to put their own stamp on the home.

One particularly quirky feature is the Attached Garage, which offers access both from the front driveway and from the rear garden via a second garage door - ideal for garden storage or potential workshop use. The rear garden is private, slightly elevated and backs onto open countryside, reinforcing the feeling of space and serenity.

The house is set back from the road, with the elevated position offering uninterrupted, expansive views rarely found in properties at this price point. Ready for improvement, but perfectly located and competitively priced to reflect the work needed.

A rare chance to acquire a property with this kind of setting and scope - early viewing is recommended.

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.
