Read the full agent description
Occupying a striking corner position between Tower Street and Buttgarden Street, this highly individual 3-storey town property (plus roof terrace) offers a unique opportunity for buyers seeking versatile accommodation, development potential, and some of the finest views in central Bideford. Available by Modern Method of Auction.
The home is arranged across multiple levels. From Tower Street, the lower ground floor entrance opens into a characterful open-plan living space incorporating a Kitchen and Lounge. This level, though partially below ground, enjoys natural light from dual aspects and offers fantastic scope for reconfiguration - perhaps as a large storage space, studio or utility level, subject to requirements.
A separate entrance from Buttgarden Street leads directly to the main floor, where a welcoming Hallway opens to a generous Reception Room and a double Bedroom with an En-suite Wet Room. This flexible level provides the option for semi-independent living or could form part of a larger, unified layout.
The upper floor hosts a further double Bedroom, a Bathroom and another bright Lounge that frames wonderful views across St Mary’s Church toward the River Torridge, Bideford Long Bridge and East-the-Water. The adjoining bedroom has begun cosmetic refurbishment following prior roof repairs, allowing an incoming owner to complete the finishing touches to their taste.
Above, a full-width roof terrace crowns the property - an exceptional private space from which to enjoy panoramic views over the town, river and surrounding countryside. Note - the tide happened to be out whilst we had a rare sunny October afternoon, so the view over the River Torridge is often significantly better than the photos suggest.
Many internal partitions are stud walls, making this an ideal purchase for those wishing to remodel, modernise or potentially reconfigure the property into separate units (subject to consent).
On-street parking is available on Buttgarden Street, with Bridge Street car park only a short stroll away.
Offered for sale with no onward chain, 6 Tower Street combines rare development flexibility with a central location and a breathtaking outlook - an intriguing opportunity in the heart of historic Bideford.
