Living and dining together

Behind the red-brick frontage, the through sitting/dining room forms the heart of the house. The front bay window brings natural light into the sitting area, while the adjoining dining space provides room to gather around the table with family and friends.

The generous fitted kitchen is complemented by a separate utility room, keeping laundry, additional storage and household tasks away from the main living space. There is scope to update parts of the interior to a new owner's taste.

Three bedrooms and useful storage

Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. A double storage cupboard on the landing provides useful additional space, with access to a partially boarded loft for further storage.

A south-facing garden and private parking space

The enclosed, paved rear garden offers somewhere to sit in the sunshine, read or eat outdoors, with manageable upkeep and no lawn to mow. A gate at the rear leads to the off-road parking space for one vehicle.

The front garden is also arranged for ease of maintenance, complementing the property's attractive Victorian frontage.

Town living with green space nearby

North View Avenue is within walking distance of Bideford's shops, everyday amenities and local primary and secondary schools. Victoria Park provides space for recreation, while Kenwith Valley Nature Reserve offers a quieter setting for walks.

For buyers looking for a three-bedroom period house in Bideford, the combination of character, outside space and off-road parking makes No. 2 worth exploring.

What the current owner says

“When we moved here from Kent five years ago, No. 2 North View Avenue immediately felt like home. We loved the period features, stained-glass window, wooden floors and built-in shelving, but it was the light and the space to spend time together that really won us over.

The separate utility room has been invaluable, and having parking has made everyday life easier. We've found the house pleasantly cool in summer and cosy in winter, with some particularly happy Christmases here.

One of our favourite things is being able to walk into town and to Victoria Park, where the paddling pool has been a summer favourite. Kenwith Valley Nature Reserve was another lovely discovery nearby and has become a favourite place for peaceful walks.

The south-facing garden is a real suntrap — somewhere to sit with a book, relax and enjoy the warmer weather. We've also appreciated how surprisingly quiet the location is and have been fortunate to have lovely neighbours.”
