This handsome property is located on the edge of the town of Bideford, almost right next to the River Torridge. A pleasant fifteen minute walk along the riverside will bring you to the town centre, with its independent shops, cafes, pubs, and harbour. The town is situated on the Tarka Trail, a thirty two mile, traffic free, trail suitable for walkers, wheelchair users and cyclists alike, which passes through stunning wildlife rich countryside. Those who enjoy a traditional beach holiday will love the fact the property is just a five minute drive from the expansive beach at Westward Ho! whilst a number of other beaches are also within easy reach.
