Situated in a prestigious location on the quiet outskirts of Bideford, this is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a substantial 5 Bedroom semi-detached period house. This charming home would suit the largest of families and would also make a wonderful residence for couples looking for something special as well as that little bit of extra living space.

There are some wonderful countryside views from the house and grounds whilst the gardens are exciting and varied.

The house is approached via a private lane that leads gently away from the town into the wooded outskirts. The entrance to Hillcote West ascends from this lane up to the elevated level ground where the house resides. At the lower level there is some level ground that is cut into the hillside providing space for the erection of a garage or, perhaps, a holiday let, subject to the necessary planning approval. At the upper level, the drive passes a newly constructed property on your left before you reach the allocated parking spaces belonging to Hillcote West. On your left hand side there is a lovely, level lawned area which provides a perfect space for recreation whether young or old. There is also a large, newly constructed wooden shed which is ideal for storage but could be utilised further. A patio area wraps around the house providing plenty of space to sit out and relax and enjoy the sunshine and the pleasant wooded surroundings. This is a great home for those who want to feel close to nature and there are covered areas of patio on either side of the house for rainier days. The garden also extends beyond the lawned garden up into the hillside where stone paths lead the way and exceptional views towards the town can be enjoyed.

The house, itself, is accessed via French doors that lead to an Entrance Hall flooded with natural light from the overhead Velux roof light. The Hallway gives access to the Dining Room which is a versatile space that could be utilised for a variety of purposes. It is currently utilised as a dining space and features a wood burning stove. The Kitchen has a nice contemporary feel about it and it looks out directly upon the lawned front garden. There is plenty of cupboard and surface space as well as a built-in gas hob and electric oven. There is room for an American style fridge / freezer and there is space and plumbing for a dishwasher. Complementing the Kitchen, there is a useful Utility Room which houses the gas boiler and has space for both a washing machine and a tumble dryer. The grand Living Room provides an exceptional space for relaxing and leisure and is the true hub of the home. The Living Room has 3 sets of French doors leading to the Veranda, a log burning stove, exposed wooden floorboards, dado and picture rails and a lovely ceiling rose. This room provides a great sense of space and harkens back to a more exciting age of architecture. The Living Room leads onto the Sun Room which, in turn, opens to the front lawn via bi-fold doors. There are 2 Velux roof lights which flood this room with natural light making it a great space that seamlessly transitions the indoor / outdoor boundary.

On the First Floor there are 4 spacious Bedrooms with the largest Bedroom having built-in wardrobes and an En-suite Shower Room. The other 3 Bedrooms are served by a contemporary Bathroom. The outlook from the windows is appealing and takes in the best of the wonderful surrounds of the house. Further stairs ascend to the Second Floor where the largest of the Bedrooms will be found which also has its own En-suite Bathroom. The Bedroom is large enough to provide space for sleeping as well as space for a living area - making it perfect for a teenager looking for a little extra freedom and privacy.

Hillcote West truly is an exceptional property that seems to offer it all - character, space and, of course, location. There are plenty of little details that can only be seen and appreciated upon a viewing and, as such, we would highly recommend booking a visit.
