Irsha Street, Appledore, Bideford

Situated in the very heart of the ever-popular and historic fishing village of Appledore, this charming former fisherman’s cottage offers a rare opportunity to enjoy village life at its very best. Located on one of Appledore’s most sought after streets, Irsha Street is a picturesque and colourful terrace renowned for its artistic flourishes and quaint detailing, creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere that perfectly reflects the character of the village. From here, two of Appledore’s most popular pubs/restaurants are just a short stroll away, while the property, itself, enjoys attractive estuary views from two of the bedrooms, adding to its undeniable appeal.

The house is arranged over three floors and provides versatile, well-maintained accommodation that has recently been redecorated throughout, resulting in a light and airy feel. On entering the property, you are welcomed into a generous open-plan living / dining room, featuring a large sash window, wood laminate flooring and a wood burning stove set within a stone chimney breast, creating a warm and inviting focal point. A useful storage cupboard is also neatly positioned within this space. The living area flows naturally into the kitchen which overlooks the shared courtyard garden and is fitted with a range of cabinets and drawers, a built-in 4-ring hob, an eye-level oven and space and plumbing for a washing machine. From the kitchen, a door leads through to a rear porch, providing access to a convenient ground floor WC and a further door opening onto the rear courtyard.

The courtyard, itself, is a particularly charming feature, being a shared communal space with attractive cobbled flooring and ample room, as shown in the photographs, for a small table and chairs, making it an ideal spot to sit out and enjoy the surroundings.

On the first floor, a central landing area, currently described as a study on the floor plan, offers excellent versatility and could be used as a reading room, home office or even an occasional bedroom. From this space, access is provided to bedrooms two and three, as well as the bathroom. The second bedroom is positioned at the front of the property and enjoys lovely estuary views, benefiting from a dual aspect that allows plenty of natural light to fill the room. The third bedroom is smaller in size and would suit a variety of uses, including a child’s bedroom, nursery, study or home office. The bathroom is fully tiled and fitted with a 'P' shaped bath with shower over, a WC with dual flush, a pedestal wash basin and a window.

Stairs rise from the study area to the second floor, where the main bedroom is located. This is a particularly attractive room, again, enjoying dual aspect windows with estuary views, along with built-in cupboards and wardrobes, making it a spacious and comfortable principal bedroom or an ideal guest suite.

The property is offered for sale with the distinct advantage of no onward chain and would suit a wide range of buyers, whether as a full-time family home, a charming coastal retreat for couples or an investment opportunity. Appledore is especially well-regarded for its successful holiday lets, and few locations within the village are as appealing as this. An early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that this delightful cottage has to offer.
