Available with no onward chain, this unique three-bedroom period home occupies a prime position in the heart of Appledore and offers an exceptional combination of character, space and versatility. Highlights include a generous roof terrace, a cinema/games room and the rare benefit of an integral double garage/workshop. Overlooking the historic Grade II Listed Richmond Dry Dock, The Boat House was formerly the premises of a respected local sail maker before being converted into a private residence in 1998. Arranged over two floors, the accommodation comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms, a stylish family bathroom, two additional shower rooms and a spacious cinema/games room, providing flexible living space. Most recently run as a successful holiday let, the property would also make an excellent permanent home, second home or investment opportunity.
Location
Situated on the sought-after New Street, this property enjoys a central position within the picturesque fishing village of Appledore, one of North Devon's most desirable coastal destinations. Renowned for its colourful cottages, historic quayside and thriving maritime heritage, Appledore offers a wonderful selection of independent cafés, pubs, restaurants and galleries, all within easy walking distance. The village also provides everyday amenities including a primary school, convenience stores and a regular bus service. Beautiful sandy beaches at Westward Ho! and Instow are just a short drive away, while the regional centre of Barnstaple, approximately 10 miles away, offers a wider range of shopping, leisure facilities and direct rail links to Exeter, connecting onwards to London.
Accomodation
The property is entered from New Street, where steps lead down to a spacious entrance hall providing access to the main accommodation. A staircase descends to the converted cinema/games room, complete with its own shower room, creating a versatile additional living space. The main hallway serves three generous double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite shower room. Bedroom three is positioned alongside a separate WC, while a stylish family bathroom also serves this level. Stairs rise to the roof terrace, with the hallway continuing through to the open-plan living accommodation. The impressive kitchen, dining and living area enjoys attractive views across the estuary towards Instow and provides a bright, sociable space for everyday living and entertaining. A secure metal hatch from the hallway leads to the newly completed roof terrace, offering an excellent outdoor space to relax or entertain while enjoying the elevated outlook.
