3 Bed Cottage in Bideford

About this property

Situated in the lovely fishing village of Appledore with views of the coastal river estuary, this property is within a short stroll of the picturesque quayside, cobbled lanes, independent shops and galleries. A variety of café’s, pubs and restaurants in the village offer a wide range of cuisine and local seafood. Take a coastal walk through the Northam Burrows Country Park or a rural walk along the Tarka Trail, both less than 3 miles away and showcase the spectacular coastline and rolling countryside the area is famed for. Beach lovers are well-catered for with miles of golden sands at Westward Ho!, Instow (optional seasonal ferry from Appledore) and Saunton Sands (18 miles). Other local attractions include RHS Rosemoor, Dartington Crystal, Tapeley Park, the Milky Way and The Big Sheep adventure parks and shopping at Atlantic Village.
