This much loved, three bedroom, mid terrace, Grade II listed character cottage, just a few steps from the picturesque Quayside, has been in the same family ownership for decades. Believed to date from the early 19th century, it retains some period features such as timber sash windows, original doors and open fireplaces, but would now benefit from a program of renovation and updating. On the ground floor is a sitting room, kitchen/diner and bathroom. The first floor provides 3 bedrooms, whilst on the second floor there is a potential further bedroom.

Highly sought after, Appledore sits on the Torridge Estuary looking across to Instow. Previously a famous port and shipbuilding village, Appledore is now a delightful example of picturesque North Devon at its best. It is now well known for Book Festival and pretty winding streets and Quayside. There is an excellent range of local amenities, including a general store and delicatessen, art & crafts shops and an excellent choice of pubs, cafes and restaurants. The Royal North Devon Golf Course and the safe and sandy beach at Westward Ho! with its famous pebble ridge is close by, as is Northam Burrows. It is within short driving distance of the Atlantic Highway (A39). A regular bus service provides easy access to Bideford and for more extensive shopping to Barnstaple (9 miles) and the British Rail Network – The Tarka Line.
