Kipling Terrace, Westward Ho!

A charming first-floor two-bedroom apartment enjoying breath-taking sea views, ideally situated in one of North Devon's most sought-after coastal villages.

Originally constructed circa 1865 as the prestigious United Services College, where the renowned author Rudyard Kipling was educated, Kipling Terrace and Court has since been thoughtfully converted into a collection of individual apartments. This Grade II Listed terrace, recognised for its architectural and historical significance, occupies a prominent elevated position within easy reach of the village amenities and enjoys spectacular views across Bideford Bay, Barnstaple Bay and out to sea.

Situated on the first floor, this charming apartment combines period character with modern comforts. Benefiting from gas-fired central heating, high ceilings and a wealth of original features, the property is beautifully presented throughout and an internal inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that it has to offer.

The accommodation is accessed via a communal entrance and staircase leading to the first floor. The apartment itself comprises an entrance hall, a generously proportioned living room featuring an attractive fireplace and a bay window with window seat, perfectly positioned to take in the breathtaking coastal views. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and incorporates an integrated oven and hob. There is also a well-appointed bathroom and two bedrooms, the principal bedroom enjoying the same stunning sea views as the living room.

To the front of the property there is a designated parking space, with further unrestricted on-street parking available nearby for residents and visitors.
