1 bedroom semi-detached house to rent

Tucked away in the heart of Appledore, a distinctly attractive one bedroom Cottage with numerous characterful period features and unique layout offering a variety of uses. Recently refurbished throughout and further benefitting from a peaceful rear courtyard garden.

The semi-detached property is situated at the end of Gibbs Lane, a fleeting walk from Appledore Quay and local amenities, restaurants and public houses. Internally the beautifully presented accommodation retains original slate and wood floorings, a charming spiral staircase and vaulted beamed ceiling in the bedroom.

Entrance to the Cottage leads directly into the Living Room, with slate flooring, tasteful stain glass windows and spiral staircase accessing the first floor. A delightful wood burner set into the chimney breast provides a focal point to the room and creates a warm welcome.

An internal hallway with slate flooring continues into the property with access into the spacious shower room, with tiled walls and flooring, large walk in shower area with glass wall partition, close couple WC and wash hand basin.

The kitchen sits at the end of the hallway with a range of new wall and floor units, roll top work surfaces with complimenting tiled splash backs and in-set stainless steel sink with mixer tap. Included also is a freestanding electric cooker with extractor over and finished with tiled flooring. The room continues into the utility area with further in keeping floor units with in-set butler sink and space / plumbing for washing machine and white goods. A storage cupboard houses the new gas boiler.

On the first floor the spiral staircase leads directly into a room previously used as a study, but lends itself for a number of uses and has a large window with views over Appledore and wooden flooring. The accommodation continues into the sizeable bedroom with vaulted beamed ceilings, recessed shelving and loft storage, again with wooden flooring.

A door continues into the sun room which sits at the rear of the property, having multi aspect Upvc windows affording copious amount of natural light into the rooms and a cosy retreat to escape. With tiled flooring and a Upvc door leading onto the rear garden.

Outside, the property is approached over a shared pathway leading up Gibbs Lane and to the front door. At the front is a shared garden to enjoy which is privately maintained with a variety of mature plants and shrubs creating a pretty display. To the rear is an enclosed courtyard patio garden with a high degree of privacy and calmness.

From Bideford quay, drive towards the A39 Heywood Road roundabout and take the second exit to Northam, Appledore and Westward Ho!; after passing the Durrant House Hotel on the right, turn right signposted to Appledore and drive for approximately 1 mile into Appledore itself; park along the quay and walk through to Market street, proceed half way down the street turning onto Gibbs Lane; continue up the street with No.5 being found at the end, on the right.
