Riverbank Cottages, Bideford, Devon

Set in a prime location just a short walk from the River Torridge and the open green spaces of Victoria Park, this beautifully presented 2-3 Bedroom home offers an appealing blend of comfort, charm and convenience in a quiet and friendly neighbourhood.

The property has been thoroughly renovated and is arranged over 3 levels, providing versatile accommodation that will suit a couple, a small family or someone seeking a peaceful home of their own.

A generous driveway offers easy access and parking for a large car, adding to the practicality of the setting. The house is entered through a distinctive porthole front door which opens into an extensive Living / Dining Room, a warm and inviting space with a UPVC double glazed window to the front and French doors leading directly out to the garden. Wood laminate flooring runs throughout, and the room includes a cupboard housing the gas fired combination boiler, a useful understairs storage area, a TV point and plenty of space for relaxing and entertaining, creating a flexible area to enjoy throughout the seasons.

The Kitchen sits just off the main living space and, although compact, has been expertly designed with a built-in oven and hob, space and plumbing for a washing machine and room for a fridge / freezer. A range of eye and base level cupboards provide good storage, while a UPVC double glazed window looks out over the sheltered courtyard garden.

The rear garden, itself, faces south, allowing it to enjoy sunshine for much of the day, and offers a low-maintenance outdoor retreat with artificial lawn and a cleverly integrated storage shed built onto the wall, making it an ideal spot to sit out, relax or sunbathe.

Upstairs on the first floor, the main Bedroom overlooks the garden and provides a peaceful double room, while a second double Bedroom sits at the front of the house. This versatile room features a built-in bunk that is ideal for a child, though the layout could easily be reconfigured, and also includes built-in storage. A well-appointed Bathroom on this level features a contemporary 4-piece suite including a bath, a shower enclosure with rainfall shower and hand attachment, a WC and a cabinet-mounted wash hand basin, all finished to an attractive modern standard. A spiral staircase leads to the Loft Room, currently used as a home office. This room offers plenty of scope as an occasional bedroom or hobby room with Velux windows framing views across the rooftops.

Altogether, this is a charming home in an excellent setting close to the river, parkland and town amenities, and a viewing is highly recommended to appreciate its unique character, thoughtful design and the lifestyle it offers.
