Appledore, Bideford

A unique opportunity to purchase a development site in the heart of Appledore, with outline planning for two detached, two-story houses, good-sized gardens, and off-street parking.

Description - An exceptional opportunity to acquire a prime development plot with outline planning permission for two dwellings (Ref: 1/0096/2022/OUT), located in an elevated position on the edge of Appledore, enjoying outstanding estuary views across the Torridge. Rarely does a site of this quality come to the market, combining breath-taking outlooks with the convenience of village amenities close at hand.
Appledore remains one of North Devon’s most desirable coastal villages, renowned for its rich maritime heritage, charming cobbled streets, art galleries, cafes, and vibrant community. The plot is perfectly positioned to enjoy the very best of the area, with easy access to beautiful beaches at Westward Ho! and Instow, coastal path walks, and excellent sailing opportunities directly on the estuary.
The plot benefits from outline planning permission for two residential dwellings, with appearance, landscaping, and detailed design reserved for later approval — offering flexibility to create two bespoke homes that take full advantage of the setting and spectacular views.
Nearby Bideford and Barnstaple offer a comprehensive range of facilities, while the A39 North Devon Link Road provides swift access to the M5 and Exeter.

Outside - The site enjoys a generous plot size with ample room for private gardens, off-road parking, and potential garaging. The elevated position affords panoramic estuary views, creating a stunning backdrop to the new homes. Landscaped gardens could be designed to complement the outlook and provide privacy while capitalising on the uninterrupted scenery. Local footpaths offer direct access to countryside and coastal walks, while the vibrant village centre is within easy reach.
