Irsha Street, Appledore, Bideford, Devon, EX39

Nestled along the historic and much-loved cobbled street of Irsha Street in the heart of Appledore, Painter’s Cottage is a delightful two-bedroom period fishermans cottage which would make a perfect continuation as a lucrative holiday let or an incredible main residence.

Combining period character with modern comfort and positioned just moments from Appledore’s vibrant quayside, pubs, galleries and cafés, this beautifully presented cottage offers an idyllic retreat with the added bonus of a private courtyard garden.

The cottage itself opens into a cosy, yet surprisingly spacious living/dining area which extends to over 22ft and features stained glass panels in the main door, duel aspect windows and original built in cupboards. The seating area also features a central stone and rendered chimney breast with electric effect wood burner.

Beyond the living area is a rear hallway with a larger cupboard under the stairs which leads in turn into a ground floor three piece suite bathroom and access to a recently upgraded kitchen. Fitted with modern units and appliances while retaining a traditional cottage feel the kitchen benefits from a inset sink and drainer, built in oven and four ring hob and a space for a fridge and freezer. From here, a door opens directly onto the courtyard garden, ideal for morning coffee or evening drinks.

Upstairs off the landing are two comfortable bedrooms, a generous double to the front with views along charming Irsha Street, and a second bedroom which can accommodate guests or be arranged as a twin. The main bedroom is complimented by a modern ensuite with a W.C and wash hand basin.

The cottage enjoys a private enclosed courtyard garden, a rare find in this part of Appledore, offering a sheltered and low-maintenance outdoor space. Perfect for al fresco dining, barbecues, or simply relaxing with a book. Also in the courtyard is a brick built store room which could be used as a little summer house.
From Bideford drive towards the A39 Heywood Road roundabout and cross over towards Westward Ho! After passing the Durrant House Hotel on the right, turn right signposted to Appledore and drive for approximately 1 mile into Appledore itself. Drive along The Quay, into Churchfield Road then then turn right onto Irsha Street with Painters Cottage which can be found on your left hand side.
