Appledore, Bideford, Ex39 1 Ry

Beautifully presented ground floor apartment in the heart of Appledore. Set within a Grade II listed building with estuary views, period charm, modern comforts and no onward chain.
Located in the very heart of the popular fishing village of Appledore, this beautifully presented and larger-than-average ground floor apartment forms part of an impressive Grade II listed building known as Quayside House. Rich in history, the property was originally built as a gentleman’s and sea captain’s residence, with the wide entrance once used for horses leading through to the former stables behind. The apartment was comprehensively refurbished in 2011, including new flooring, carpets, a hot water system and full gas central heating.
What truly sets this home apart are the breathtaking estuary views that can be enjoyed directly from the Living Room and each time you step outside onto the charming streets of historic Appledore. With the sash windows open, the gentle sounds of the water and the quiet hum of village life drift through the room, creating an unmistakable sense of peace and calm - it’s fair to say you couldn’t get much closer to the water without jumping in.
The accommodation offers a spacious and practical layout, with an Inner Hallway providing space for coats and shoes, and a separate Kitchen large enough to accommodate a small dining table. The Kitchen is fitted with a range of cupboards and drawers, and various white goods are available for sale by separate negotiation. In fact, much of the furniture and furnishings may also be available for sale separately. The Living Room is particularly attractive, featuring a large fireplace with shelved alcoves to either side and a delightful window framing the stunning estuary outlook. The Bedroom is generously sized, complete with built-in wardrobes and a hand wash basin for convenience. The Bathroom includes a 3-piece suite comprising a bath, WC and hand wash basin.
Outside, residents enjoy use of a shared courtyard garden - an ideal spot to sit out and relax after a stroll along the quay. With Appledore’s independent shops, cosy cafes and welcoming pubs all just a short walk away, this charming home perfectly blends heritage, comfort and location. Available for sale with no onward chain, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
