Number 51 Elm Grove is a beautifully presented three-bedroom terraced home, offering generous living accommodation and an ideal blend of modern convenience and period charm. Retaining much of its Victorian character while benefiting from thoughtful updates throughout, the property provides comfortable and versatile living spaces perfectly suited to family life.
Stepping inside, there is a small entrance porch which leads into the hallway. Immediately you are introduced to the period features found throughout the home. The hallway provides access to the principal ground floor accommodation, with stairs rising to the first floor.
The living room is positioned at the front of the property and offers an inviting space for relaxing and entertaining. A traditional gas fireplace with a decorative surround creates an attractive focal point, while the large bay window allows plenty of natural light into the room and enjoys elevated views across Bideford. The combination of original features, generous proportions and pleasant outlook makes this a particularly appealing reception room, equally suited to quiet evenings or spending time with family and friends.
Continuing through the ground floor, the dining room forms the heart of the home. This generously proportioned space comfortably accommodates a substantial dining table and chairs, providing an ideal setting for family meals and social occasions. The room retains a welcoming sense of character, with decorative ceiling detailing and attractive flooring complementing the overall presentation.
An attractive arched opening connects the dining room to the kitchen, creating a seamless flow between the two spaces and enhancing the sociable nature of the home. This layout is particularly well suited to modern family living and entertaining. The kitchen itself is a standout feature, offering a contemporary finish, practical preparation space, and ample storage. Flooded with natural light from two substantial skylights overhead, the room enjoys a bright and airy atmosphere. Its open connection to the dining room ensures it forms an integral part of the main living accommodation, rather than feeling like a separate working space.
A glazed rear door provides direct access to the steps that lead to the garden, allowing the kitchen and outside space to connect particularly well during warmer months. Alongside the kitchen is a separate utility area, offering valuable additional space for everyday household requirements.
Completing the ground floor is a conveniently positioned shower room, finished with white tiling and fitted with a walk-in shower enclosure, vanity wash hand basin and chrome heated towel rail. This is a practical addition to the accommodation, particularly for busy households and visiting guests.
Returning to the entrance hallway, the staircase rises to the first floor landing, which provides access to all three bedrooms.
The principal bedroom is positioned at the front of the property and is a generously proportioned double room. A large window provides plenty of natural light, while the neutral decoration creates a calm and comfortable setting. Built in storage offers useful practicality, with additional space for freestanding bedroom furniture.
Bedroom two is another double bedroom, positioned towards the rear of the property. The room offers space for freestanding furniture and provides comfortable accommodation for family members or guests.
The third bedroom is also situated towards the rear and offers further versatility. Well suited to use as a bedroom, guest room or dedicated home office, this space adds flexibility for those working from home or requiring accommodation that can adapt to changing needs.
One of the particularly appealing features of the property is the south facing rear garden, accessed directly from the kitchen. Arranged as a generous paved courtyard and enclosed by traditional stone walls, it provides a private and sheltered outdoor space with a pleasant sense of character.
The current owners have arranged the courtyard to accommodate a corner sofa, dining table, fire pit and barbecue, demonstrating just how effectively the space can be used for outdoor living. Whether enjoying a morning coffee, dining outside during the summer months or entertaining friends and family, the garden provides a natural extension of the living accommodation.
The paved finish also makes the garden easy to maintain, allowing more time to enjoy the outside space without the demands of a larger traditional garden.
To the front, the property benefits from an elevated approach with steps leading through a garden area featuring established planting and gravelled sections, adding to its attractive appearance from the street.
Overall, this is a characterful Victorian home that successfully balances period features with the requirements of modern life. The generous dining room, bright kitchen, separate living room and versatile bedroom accommodation are complemented by a particularly inviting south facing courtyard garden. Together with its convenient position for Bideford town centre and local schools, the property offers an appealing opportunity for buyers seeking a well-proportioned home with both character and practicality.
From Bideford quay walk up Bridgeland Street and turn right at the top into North Road. At the junction turn left into Pitt Lane and walk up, turning right into Elm Grove. Closer to the end of the road, where number 51 can be found on your left hand side.
