Terraced house for sale in Castle Street, Northam, Bideford EX39

This is a beautiful period home in Northam that has been modernised to a delightful standard keeping all of its original charm and character features that make it so exclusive.

This home's showstopper has to be the magical rear garden - laid to lawn and bordered by fairy-tale-like trees and high stone walls. As you head through the door from the Kitchen, you really do feel like you are stepping into your own private sanctuary. Houses of this age and size rarely have gardens like this which is another aspect that makes it so unique.

Inside, the property is presented to an elegant standard with attractive flooring and large light rooms. Immediately on your left hand side as you enter, the Lounge benefits from a window that soaks up the morning sun. Heading down the Entrance Hall, you will find the Kitchen / Dining Room - another space ignited by natural light and enjoying the evening sun that floods in. Upstairs are the 2 double Bedrooms, 1 overlooking the front and the other the rear, which are served by a stylish Bathroom and accessed via the Landing which makes for perfect access to the loft offering excellent potential for one to increase the number of Bedrooms and, therefore, create a large 3-storey family home.Northam is a small village, lying north of Bideford and south of Westward Ho!
