About this home
Offering a wealth of charm and character is this delightful 3 storey 5 bedroomed period house with ample parking, set within easy reach of the town centre amenities and Quay Front. Must be seen!!!
Cornish House comprises a 3 storey period town house, being Grade II listed as of architectural and historical importance, with a wealth of charm and character, set within the quiet and historic part of 'Old Bideford', and affording easy access to the quay front, the town centre, and Victoria Park. The property is understood to date from the early 19th century, and was once a Public House, and in 1936 was converted to the property it is today. The adaptable accommodation benefits from gas central heating, and merits early internal inspection, in order to avoid disappointment.
Briefly the accommodation provides a dual aspect sitting room with 2 fireplaces, an inner lobby off of which is a ground floor WC, and also a staircase to the first floor accommodation. There is a kitchen/diner with ample storage, appliance space, and a door to the garden. The first floor has 3 bedrooms (each bedroom has shuttered windows) and a bathroom with a rolltop bath, and views over the River Torridge to Bidefords historic bridge,, with the second floor having a dual aspect master bedroom with an en-suite WC, and views of the estuary, and a further double bedroom.
Bideford is a popular town and working port located on the banks of the River Torridge. It offers a wide range of amenities, including shops, schools for all ages, and leisure facilities. The Tarka Trail, a well-known walking and cycling route, passes through the town and provides stunning views of the river and surrounding countryside.
