Torrington Street, Bideford, North Devon, EX39

Amazing opportunity to acquire a detached building (approx. 3,500 sq ft) set directly onto the River Torridge. Currently arranged as 2 flats with generous sized garaging and large first floor store. Enjoying fabulous views up and down stream and located a short level walk from the town centre amenities. Available with no onward chain.

What an incredible opportunity this property represents, whether it is to utilise the current arrangement (refurbishment required) or to create something quite different (planning consent may be required so purchasers are suggested to make their own enquiries before entering into a contract).

Such is the nature of this property the agents recommend an early appointment to view as properties of this type are rarely available.

The property is conveniently positioned being a short level walk from the old bridge, quayside and main shopping centre. Also to hand is a slipway and the Tarka Trail which is most popular for walkers and cyclists.

SERVICES: All mains services. Separate gas boilers serve each flat. Upvc double glazed windows.

COUNCIL TAX BAND: Both flats are a band A (information gained via the Directgov Council Tax Valuation List).

DIRECTIONS TO FIND: From Bideford Quay proceed across the old bridge turning right at the end into Torrington Street. Continue to the far end of the street where the property will be found on the right-hand side.
