2 Bedroom Terraced House

Occupying a characterful position along Barnstaple Street, just moments from Bideford’s historic quayside, 24 Barnstaple Street is a charming 2 Bedroom end-of-terrace cottage offering private outdoor space to both the front and rear, together with no onward chain.

Currently utilised as a successful holiday let, the property presents an appealing opportunity for those seeking either a coastal bolt-hole, investment purchase or full-time home within easy reach of the town’s amenities.

The front door opens directly into a warm and inviting open-plan Living Room, where wood-dominated finishes and a log burner create an immediate sense of comfort and cottage charm. The Living Room flows naturally into the Kitchen, forming a sociable and practical layout suited to both everyday living and entertaining. From here, a door opens out to the enclosed rear patio, providing a private and sheltered space - ideal for morning coffee or evening dining. Additional storage is neatly tucked beneath the staircase, maximising functionality without compromising space.

Upstairs, a central landing leads to 2 comfortable double Bedrooms, both well-proportioned. The front bedroom is slightly larger and benefits from incorporated stair access to a converted loft room, complete with a Velux window, offering useful additional space for hobbies, occasional guests or storage. A Bathroom serves both bedrooms.

One of the property’s most distinctive features lies just across the footpath from the front door: a private, elevated walled garden. Accessed via a gated entrance, this separate outdoor space enjoys excellent sunlight throughout the day and provides a rare and attractive addition for a town-centre home.

The location is particularly convenient, positioned near The Royal Hotel, alongside the Tarka Trail for easy access on foot or by bicycle, and just a minute’s walk from Bideford’s historic Long Bridge leading to the quayside and its range of shops, cafés and restaurants.

The property benefits from mains gas, water, electricity and drainage. While there is no dedicated parking, a residents’ parking permit is available at nearby Clarence Wharf, only a short walk away.

A characterful and well-located home offering flexibility, charm and excellent access to Bideford’s waterfront lifestyle.
