3 bed Flat For Sale £295,000
Beautifully presented 2/3 bed second floor apartment with fabulous open plan living space which is complimented by a stunning coastal aspect. Set within a most attractive detached building of just 4 units and located not far from the facilities and amenities in both Northam and Westward Ho! Viewing highly recommended.
Drayton House is situated at the far end of Bay View Road which is located above the coastal village of Westward Ho! and it is from this vantage point that the panoramic views are gained and really need to be seen in person to be truly appreciated.
Set on the second floor the apartment is easily approached via a wide and appealing staircase and once through the front door the first class presentation soon becomes apparent and this is complimented by a light and airy feel.
Westward Ho! has a variety of local shops and services as does the village of Northam (1.5 miles), which include doctor and dental surgeries, supermarkets, post office counter and a whole range of other businesses.
Being in a quiet semi rural coastal location the natural beauty of the area is all within walking distance with the vast sandy beach of Westward Ho!, Northam National Park and coastal path 'on the doorstep'.
The regions two main towns of Bideford and Barnstaple (3 and 10 miles respectively) offer all the usual services and facilities of a modern town. Devon’s capital city, Exeter is located about 40 miles to the south.
