Appledore: village (church, pubs, fish/chip shop, shops, PO, galleries, maritime museum) of old cottages and narrow streets at the mouth of the Taw and Torridge estuary, with a long tradition of boat building and fishing. Fresh fish sometimes available from the quay. Beach across the water at Instow for watersports. Huge sandy beach and golf at Westward Ho!, 2 miles. Trout/salmon fishing along the Torridge and, beside it, the excellent Tarka Trail cycle track. Bideford and Barnstaple, 2 and 10 miles. ... in the heart of Appledore, approached along 20 yards of private footpath between old cottages, a 200 year old end-of-terrace house, with lovely, long views over the estuary and only 100 yards from good food pub and the quayside (boat trips/crabbing). Immediately in front of it, on the other side of the footpath (leads to neighbour’s vegetable patch), a super little sunny paved and shingled garden with summer house, play-fort, tables/chairs, barbecue and glimpse of estuary. Inside, recent work has made the house modern and comfortable. Hall; large fitted kitchen (5’9 doorway, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble drier, microwave, fridge-freezer, gas hob/electric oven) with tables/chairs in centre; cosy living room (books, card games, 5’9 doorway, best for 6) looking to little garden; steepish stairs up to landing and three bedrooms one double with 5’ bed and ornamental fireplace, one with 3’6 bed and views across rooftops and gardens to the estuary, and one with bunk beds; bathroom (suite plus bath-shower). More stairs up to attractive attic bedroom with double bed, lovely old exposed roof timbers (mind head!) and en suite shower-room (suite). No smoking. Loading and unloading from street. Public car park, 75 yards. Street parking possible. Good family house in a popular village with regular public transport connections.
