4 bed flat for sale

Bideford, Devon EX39

Flat 3 is a truly unique duplex apartment occupying the upper levels of this riverside conversion in the heart of Bideford. Set across the top floors of the former Tantons Hotel, this spacious and characterful home offers an imaginative layout with 4 bedrooms and a generous open-plan living space, all within moments of the town centre and riverbank.

Accessed via a shared entrance from Lower Meddon Street, the private front door opens into the lower floor of the apartment, where 2 well-proportioned bedrooms are positioned either side of the hallway. These rooms enjoy traditional window aspects and offer excellent space for use as double bedrooms, studies or guest rooms.

From the hallway, stairs rise into the converted attic space above - a striking and open-plan upper level, where light pours in through multiple Velux windows. This floor includes a stylish fitted kitchen, living and dining space, alongside a contemporary bathroom and 2 further bedrooms. The layout offers superb flexibility for shared living, working from home or simply creating defined areas for family use.

The property is presented in clean, neutral order, with a fitted kitchen already in place and flooring due to be installed prior to sale. Heating and hot water are fully electric. The flat will be sold on a Leasehold basis, with the added benefit of a share of the Freehold and joint directorship of the management company, giving owners shared control over the building’s maintenance and future.

Combining elevated river views, a bright and characterful interior and a rare amount of space for its location, Flat 3 offers something genuinely individual for buyers seeking central Bideford living with a difference. Viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the full potential.

Bideford is a peaceful olde worlde market town on the River Torridge. The main district is on the west bank and its narrow streets filled with white painted houses sprawl from the working quay, up the slopes to the outer suburbs. A former historic port town, Bideford is a great place to explore, whether it’s a trip to the shops or a restaurant outing there's something for everyone. The Pannier Market is a brilliant example of the town’s originality, with its terrace of artists’ workshops and independent shops. The town also champions sports at a grassroots level with both the local rugby and football teams having healthy followings. There are no end of ways to join in the community spirit of this wonderful white town on the hill.

All the amenities you'll ever need are to be found within easy reach of Bideford. To the north are the coastal towns of Westward Ho!, Appledore and Northam, all of which will figure in your day-to-day routines if you enjoy the sea or the outdoor life. Northam boasts a brilliant indoor swimming pool and gym.

Bideford is within short driving distance of the Atlantic Highway (A39) which is the main feeder route across the region leading to Cornwall in the south-west and to the M5 in the east. A regular bus service provides access to North Devon’s ‘capital’, Barnstaple. Bus users can also reach Westward Ho!, Braunton, Appledore, Croyde and Ilfracombe.
