An exquisite Grade II listed period home, beautifully positioned in the vibrant heart of this highly sought-after seaside village. This exceptional property has undergone extensive remodelling and sensitive restoration, resulting in a home of rare character, charm and contemporary elegance.<br/><br/>Behind its historic façade, the house reveals a series of wonderfully light, flowing spaces where original features sit effortlessly alongside luxurious modern refinements. Lime-plastered walls, reclaimed floorboards, exposed brickwork and original beams create warmth and authenticity, while carefully chosen details such as pewter period-style light switches and British-made enamel lighting add colour, style and individuality throughout.<br/><br/>The property is entered via a welcoming entrance hall, complete with a bespoke timber bench and a beautiful slate floor, setting the tone for the craftsmanship and attention to detail found throughout.<br/><br/>A timber slate door opens into the impressive open-plan lounge and dining room, a wonderfully atmospheric space measuring approximately 25’6 x 12’. Reclaimed floorboards, lime plaster and exposed brickwork combine to create a rich sense of period character, while a wood-burning stove provides a striking focal point. A stunning bespoke staircase rises through a double-height atrium to the first floor, adding architectural drama and natural light. Marine-grade aluminium French doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out.<br/><br/>The kitchen/breakfast room is a superb feature of the home. Measuring approximately 20’9 x 10’2 max, this beautifully designed space enjoys a vaulted ceiling with exposed original beams, giving it both volume and character. Bespoke plywood cabinetry is paired with pale blue work surfaces and a double Butler sink, while a sizeable island provides useful storage, preparation space and informal seating. There is space for a range cooker and tall fridge/freezer, together with an integrated dishwasher. A bank of Velux windows floods the room with natural light, while a picture window and matching French doors frame delightful views over the sunny rear garden.<br/><br/>The accommodation is arranged to offer three bedrooms, each with its own charm. The primary bedroom sits to the front of the property and is a tranquil, characterful room with lime-plastered undulating walls and sanded floorboards underfoot. A second bedroom, peacefully located to the rear, benefits from a bespoke built-in bed and storage, as well as access to a cloakroom. On the top floor, the attic bedroom provides a versatile third bedroom or study, with some restricted head height adding to its cosy character.<br/><br/>The bathroom has been stylishly finished with white subway tiling and includes a bath with shower over. A beautiful stone basin sits upon bespoke cabinetry, creating a refined and thoughtfully designed space.<br/><br/>Outside, the rear garden has been superbly landscaped to provide a private and sunny retreat. Arranged over three levels, it offers a choice of seating areas ideal for al fresco dining, entertaining or simply relaxing in this wonderful coastal setting.<br/><br/>A beautifully restored and highly individual period home, combining historic charm, bespoke craftsmanship and contemporary coastal living in one of the area’s most desirable village locations.<br/><br/>NB - Some images have been enhanced to provide a clearer representation of the property.<br/>From Bideford Quay, proceed towards Northam passing the Durrant House Hotel on the right hand side.
