Situated on the front, in the hub of prime Instow, this is a rare and golden opportunity to take ownership of a grand, 3-storey, 4 Bedroom period home. Locations don't come much finer and the finish inside this house will also not disappoint.

This property is beautifully presented throughout befitting of its current role as a successful holiday let. As well as being a lucrative commercial opportunity, this house would also make a fine and impressive permanent residence.

Situated on Marine Parade, the house is approached via a wrought iron gate which gives access to the paved courtyard front garden - a great place from which to set up a seat and enjoy the view and the general comings and goings of the village.

The Entrance Hall is impressive giving access to the key downstairs rooms and winding its way upstairs via the charming staircase with gorgeous banister. The Ground Floor features the Main Bedroom which has direct views out to the water. This room would also make a great Sitting Room. Behind this is the second Reception Room - perfect as a winter Snug. Between this room and the Kitchen is the Office, great for home workers to have a base whilst staying connected to the rest of the house and family. The Kitchen / Diner is contemporary and beautifully presented with ample space for dining and is equipped with a range of cupboards and drawers, built-in oven and hob, and dishwasher. It has a Velux roof light and access to outside via the stable door. At the rear of the house is the Utility Room with space and plumbing for a washing machine and space for an American style fridge / freezer. The Ground Floor is complete with a Shower Room.

To the rear of the house is a fully enclosed garden with a patio area and an extensive lawn with stone wall borders. The garden is adorned with a beautiful range of plants, flowers and shrubs that fill it with colour and a charming array of pleasant scents. There are also 3 Outbuildings.

The First Floor features 3 generous size Bedrooms. Bedrooms 2 and 4 have remarkable estuary views via the sash windows that have fitted shutters. The Bathroom has a 4-piece suite that perfectly befits the rest of the house in terms of style.

The Top Floor features the main Living Room, ideally situated to take in the views from its range of Velux windows which open to form balconies…Stunning! The white-washed floorboards and sense of space give the feeling of being on holiday and away from the troubles of the world. This room truly is the crown of the house.

We have done our very best with the photos and videos to give a glimpse of what this remarkable property offers but, as ever, we would highly recommend viewing it in person to fully appreciate all that it provides.

Instow is an iconic village in North Devon perched at the point where the River Taw and River Torridge meet before joining the Atlantic Ocean – all within sight from most properties in the village. It also enjoys great views of its sister village Appledore on the opposite bank.
Wired into local transport links you can be in the heart of Bideford in minutes on the bus, and Barnstaple within 20 minutes. It has a primary school, a community hall and several churches including the interesting Italianate All Saints Chapel.

Instow has lots of places to moor a boat if you have one, and it has a handful of shops and great local restaurants. Locals make good use of the beach and the small yet severely eroded dune system close by (look out for the rare Pyramid Orchid when the season is right). The Tarka Trail runs through the heart of the village where the railway used to run. There’s still traces of the railway all around the village including the country’s only Grade I signal box. The film about yachtsman Donald Crowhurst – Deep Water was filmed in Instow in 2015.
