Coombe Lea is set within a terrace of just 3 properties which were converted many years ago from the Gymnasium building which formed part of the original Bideford Grammer School. Being set back from the road with no passing traffic the property enjoys a peaceful location with a superb front aspect.

Cottingham Crescent itself lies between Northdown Road and Northview Avenue, a popular residential area being a few minutes walk of the town centre, shops and quayside together with other local amenities such as schools and the Victoria Park and Playing Fields.
