House For Sale £294,000
Westward Ho, Bideford

This is an excellent 3 Bedroom home set in the highly popular seaside village of Westward Ho! The terraced home features a Garage and off-road parking alongside light and well-presented accommodation and an enclosed rear garden.

Entering the property, the Cloakroom is found on your left hand side and the fitted Kitchen on your right. Perhaps the best feature of this house is the Living and Dining areas that are located to the rear. The Living Room could become a Living / Dining Room with the Conservatory used as a second Reception Room (the current owner uses the Conservatory as a Dining Room for which there is more than enough space). With the door open, the Conservatory becomes a delightful, sunny sanctuary. The Bathroom serves 3 Bedrooms (2 of which benefit from views of the Northam Burrows Country Park and the sea beyond).

Outside, there is a Garage and off-road parking. The rear garden is generous in size and has been laid to artificial lawn for ease of maintenance.

Westward Ho! is a village, lying north of Bideford and west of Appledore. There are many country walks around the village and the outlying areas, including the popular Northam Burrows, Appledore Quay and the nearby Westward Ho! Beach. Originally called Bideford Quay, it was named Westward Ho! after Charles Kingsley’s book of the same name. Nowadays, it’s a bold mix of the old and the modern. It’s a popular spot with families that return year on year. Surfers and horse riders love the long sandy beach.

Local amenities include newsagents, mini supermarkets, take-aways and a post office. There’s also a primary school, health and dental centre and a number of churches in the area. Northam also has a decent public swimming pool and gym too. You’ll never be short of places to eat and drink with Appledore, Bideford and Abbotsham on your doorstep with their cornucopia of restaurants and pubs.

It’s within short driving distance of the Atlantic Highway (A39) that is the main feeder route across the region leading to Wadebridge in Cornwall to the south-west and to the M5 by Tiverton in the east. A bus service provides access to North Devon’s ‘capital’, Barnstaple. Bus users can also reach Bideford, Braunton, Croyde and Ilfracombe.
