Lyndale Terrace, Instow, Bideford, Devon, EX39

Enjoying a wonderful position in the heart of this highly sought-after coastal village, The Penthouse is a beautifully presented two-bedroom apartment with spectacular views across the estuary towards Appledore.

Forming part of an exclusive development, considerable care has been taken with the conversion, using local tradespeople and craftsmen to create a stylish home with a warm and welcoming feel throughout.

Accessed from the ground floor hallway, the private front door of the penthouse leads up a set of stairs to a landing with ample space for outdoor wear and storage. From the landing stairs lead up to the top floor, where the rest of the accommodation is spread across the whole level, which has been carefully designed to make the most of the natural light and wonderful outlook over the estuary to the front.

The spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living room is undoubtedly a real feature of the property. Large windows frame the views across Instow the estuary towards Appledore, providing an ever-changing backdrop of passing boats, changing tides and beautiful sunsets.

There is plenty of room for both dining and comfortable seating, making this a lovely space for everyday living or entertaining family and friends. The well-appointed kitchen includes an integrated oven, hob and extractor, together with further appliance space.

There are two generous double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom having direct access onto a private east-facing, enclosed sun terrace to the rear. This provides an attractive outside space to enjoy a morning coffee or simply relax in the fresh coastal air. The terrace has obscured glass balustrades, providing additional privacy.

A modern family bathroom completes the accommodation, and the property benefits from gas central heating.

Outside, the allocated off-road parking space is a particularly valuable benefit in this popular coastal village.

The lifestyle on offer is a real part of the appeal. Instow's sandy beach, waterfront cafés, popular restaurants and pubs are all within easy walking distance, while the Tarka Trail and surrounding coastline provide wonderful opportunities for walking and cycling.

Whether watching the boats on the estuary, enjoying an evening drink as the sun sets over Appledore or simply strolling down to the beach, this is a home designed to make the most of its exceptional coastal setting.

The Penthouse would make a superb permanent home, an easy-to-maintain coastal retreat or an attractive investment opportunity.

The property will be sold with a 999-year lease, a share of the freehold and the benefit of a 10-year Advantage warranty. Once the final leasehold apartment has been sold, the purchasers will be able to establish a management company to oversee the communal areas and exterior of the building.
