House For Sale £325,000
Northam, Bideford

This is a beautiful period home in Northam that has been modernised to a delightful standard keeping all of its original charm and character features that make it so exclusive.

This home's showstopper has to be the magical rear garden - laid to lawn and bordered by fairy-tale-like trees and high stone walls. As you head through the door from the Kitchen, you really do feel like you are stepping into your own private sanctuary. Houses of this age and size rarely have gardens like this which is another aspect that makes it so unique.

Inside, the property is presented to an elegant standard with attractive flooring and large light rooms. Immediately on your left hand side as you enter, the Lounge benefits from a window that soaks up the morning sun. Heading down the Entrance Hall, you will find the Kitchen / Dining Room - another space ignited by natural light with a door to the aforementioned garden. Upstairs are the 2 double Bedrooms, 1 overlooking the front and the other the rear, which are served by a stylish Bathroom and accessed via the Landing which makes for perfect access to the loft offering excellent potential for one to increase the number of Bedrooms and, therefore, create a large 3-storey family home.

Northam is a small village, lying north of Bideford and south of Westward Ho! 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.

Local amenities include a supermarket with post office, newsagents and take-aways. There’s also a primary school, a health & 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, Westward Ho! and Abbotsham on your doorstep with their cornucopia of restaurants and pubs. Being a coastal village, seafood is high on the menu, fresh from the morning’s catch, so be sure to patronise your local fishmonger, if that’s your thing. Golf enthusiasts will also have cause to celebrate because there’s a great championship course on the outskirts of Westward Ho! Westward Ho! is also very popular with surfers and body boarders, with many places to get lessons and hire kit for the beginner.

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 Westward Ho!, Bideford, Braunton, Appledore, Croyde and Ilfracombe.

Northam’s local area is teeming with activity whether community groups are your thing or you prefer the outdoor life, there’s something to occupy just about everybody all year around.
