Chingswell Street, Bideford

Properties combining established commercial accommodation with approved residential consent are exceptionally rare, particularly when they also benefit from a private garden, substantial garage and off-road parking.

Occupying a prominent position within the heart of Bideford's historic town centre, 12 Chingswell Street is currently arranged as spacious professional offices extending over two floors. The property offers flexible accommodation suitable for a variety of commercial and professional uses whilst benefiting from Prior Approval for conversion into an attractive three-bedroom townhouse.

One of the property's most remarkable features lies beyond the building itself. Unlike the vast majority of town centre properties, 12 Chingswell Street enjoys a private enclosed rear garden together with a 16'6" x 16'6" (5.03m x 5.03m) double garage fitted with an electric roller door and a private parking apron immediately to the front. Garaging and parking of this scale are seldom found within such a central location and significantly enhance both the property's practicality and future value.

The approved residential conversion provides buyers with the opportunity to create a distinctive town centre home whilst retaining the generous proportions of the existing building. Our marketing includes visual illustrations to demonstrate how the approved accommodation could look once completed.

The opportunity extends even further. Full Planning Permission has also been granted for the replacement of the existing garage with a detached two-bedroom dwelling extending to approximately 81 sq m (873 sq ft). The approved scheme creates exciting possibilities for additional family accommodation, guest accommodation, a home office or future investment, subject to implementation of the planning permission.

Whether your ambition is to continue operating from an established town centre office, create a unique residential home, or secure a property offering exceptional long-term flexibility and development potential, 12 Chingswell Street represents an opportunity that is genuinely difficult to replicate.

Bideford's thriving town centre provides an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets and everyday amenities, together with excellent road links via the North Devon Link Road to Barnstaple, the M5 and beyond. The picturesque quayside and the renowned North Devon coastline, including Westward Ho! and Instow, are both within easy reach.

Properties offering this combination of commercial flexibility, approved residential consent, a private garden, 16'6" x 16'6" double garage with electric roller door, off-road parking and further approved development potential rarely become available. An early viewing is strongly recommended.
