Marine Parade, Appledore

Offered to the market with no onward chain, this beautiful three-bedroom Georgian residence is arranged over three storeys and enjoys stunning estuary views. Ideally positioned in the heart of Appledore, the property is just a short, level walk from the village’s excellent range of amenities and picturesque Quay.

Richmond House, 7 Marine Parade is an elegant, mid-terraced, three-storey period residence, Grade II Listed for its architectural and historic importance. Occupying an enviable position within the highly sought-after coastal village of Appledore, the property enjoys superb views across the River Torridge towards Tapeley Park in the distance.

Believed to have been constructed circa 1820 for a Sea Captain, Master Mariner or Merchant requiring close proximity to the nearby Richmond Dock, this distinguished home is rich in period character and history. Today, these traditional features are complemented by modern-day comforts, including gas-fired radiator central heating and high-quality fittings to the kitchen and bathrooms.

Situated just a short, level walk from Appledore Quay, Richmond House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of considerable character and stature in one of the village's most desirable locations. Early internal viewing is highly recommended.

The accommodation opens into a welcoming entrance porch and hallway, benefiting from underfloor heating. To the front is a spacious sitting room featuring exposed floorboards and an attractive fireplace with a multi-fuel stove. Double doors lead through to the dining room, which also features a character fireplace.

To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room is attractively fitted with a comprehensive range of units centred around an island, together with a Belfast sink and a range-style cooker set within a former fireplace. The kitchen provides access to the outside and connects to a well-appointed kitchenette, which in turn leads to a useful utility area with space for laundry appliances. The gas-fired boiler serving the domestic hot water and central heating systems is also located here.

On the first floor are two generous double bedrooms. The front bedroom enjoys delightful views across the River Torridge and benefits from en-suite facilities, while the rear bedroom overlooks the garden.

Occupying the second floor is the impressive principal bedroom, again enjoying wonderful river views. This bedroom has access to a generously proportioned en-suite bathroom fitted with a four-piece suite, including a freestanding roll-top bath.

Outside, the property is approached through a metal entrance gate to a small front garden enclosed by railings. Unrestricted on-road parking is available immediately to the front and within the surrounding area.

There is also a small internal courtyard, while to the rear lies an attractive split-level courtyard-style garden offering a high degree of privacy.
