1 bed flat for sale

Buttgarden Street, Bideford, Devon EX39

Situated within Bideford’s historic Old Town, just a short walk from the High Street and Quay, this first floor flat forms part of the St Marys Flats - a centrally located block offering level access to everyday amenities.

Number 3 is positioned on the street-facing side of the building and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a freehold flat, making it particularly appealing for those seeking a long-term rental investment or an affordable town base.

The flat is accessed via a shared entrance and staircase, leading to a private front door that opens into a central hallway. To the left, you'll find a fitted kitchen and a comfortable double bedroom, while the bathroom suite is located to the right. At the end of the hallway, the property opens into a generous living room which spans the full width of the flat. A characterful archway at the far end connects back into the kitchen, giving the living space a semi-open-plan feel and helping to create a more connected layout.

The property is currently tenanted and would benefit from general modernisation, but offers solid potential for enhancement. Please note there is no allocated parking, although public parking options are available nearby.

With no onward chain and the rare advantage of being a freehold flat, this is an excellent opportunity for cash investors or buyers looking to add value. Early viewing is recommended.

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.
