Weare Giffard, Bideford, EX39

This is a most appealing property which offers impressive accommodation albeit now requiring updating. The property enjoys an open aspect and the agents have no hesitation in recommending an appointment to view. Weare Giffard is a picturesque yet unusually long and narrow village that stretches for a mile or so along the banks of the River Torridge and is approx. 4 miles from the Port and Market town of Bideford and 3 miles from Great Torrington. The village has a good community spirit with local pub, church and village hall. There is an access point to the Tarka Trail just as you come off the A386 at Annery Kiln. Access to the North Devon Link Road is within 5 miles, North Devon's principle town of Barnstaple approx. 15 miles whilst the M5 Motorway connection just north of Tiverton is some 50 miles distant. SERVICES: All mains services. Gas fired central heating. To the main house the windows are wooden framed double glazed units with a lead work finish and to the conservatory the units are upvc double glazed. COUNCIL TAX BAND: E. TENURE: Freehold. AGENTS NOTE REGARDING THE FLOORPLAN: Due to the nature of the property the software used to create the floorplan struggles to differentiate between the levels of the split level design and as such the galleried entrance is unable to be shown quite as it should. DIRECTIONS TO FIND: From Bideford proceed south as towards Torrington and after almost 3 miles turn left as signposted to Weare Giffard. Passing under the old railway bridge and crossing over the river. Continue on this road and after passing the turning for Church View on the left the property will be seen within a short distance on your left, displaying its name plate and a 'Brights' For Sale board.
