6 bed terraced house for sale

The Strand, Bideford, Devon EX39

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial 6 Bedroom period home in the heart of Bideford, positioned along The Strand (one of the town’s most historic and architecturally rich locations) and just moments from the quayside, Mill Street shops and local schooling.

Believed to have originally been constructed as a former sea merchant’s residence, the property reflects the character and prominence associated with Bideford’s historic trading past, offering a home of both presence and flexibility.

The Corner House provides exceptionally versatile accommodation arranged over 3 floors, making it ideally suited to a range of buyers. Whether as a large family home, a property offering independent living for older or teenage children, or a lifestyle home with income potential, the flexibility here is a key strength.

Since purchasing the property, the current owner has carried out an extensive programme of internal redecoration, significantly enhancing the overall presentation. Further improvements include newly laid carpets to a number of rooms, replacement double glazed bay windows to the ground floor, new cottage-style interior doors and a new front entrance door, creating a home that is ready for immediate occupation.

The Bedroom accommodation is highly adaptable, with 4 generous double bedrooms benefiting from 4 En-suite Shower Rooms, while the remaining 2 Bedrooms (1 En-suite) are ideally suited to guest, study or flexible use and are served by a separate Shower Room.

The top floor offers excellent potential for independent or semi-self-contained living - ideal for multi-generational arrangements or continued use as guest accommodation.

Externally, to the rear, the property benefits from a low-maintenance, large, paved courtyard, providing a private and practical south-facing outdoor space with scope for seating and entertaining. The garden also incorporates 2 useful external stores. To the front of the property is an attractive garden.

Importantly, unlike many surrounding properties within this historic part of Bideford, the house is not listed, offering far greater flexibility for future alterations or continued adaptation.

The property has most recently been used as a private residence, but if a lifestyle change is desired, the property has been run as a successful and profitable B & B providing good all year round income.

Homes of this scale and flexibility, particularly in such a central and historic position, are rarely available.

Combining character, scale, recent improvements and a highly convenient town centre setting, this is a property that offers both immediate enjoyment and long-term versatility.
