Fairholme captures the imagination from the outset with the generous accommodation centring around a welcoming entrance hall which leads off to 4 Reception Rooms including a fabulous dual aspect drawing room with large bay window and a dual aspect sitting room, each with original corniced ceilings & feature fireplaces and doors into the sun room. In addition is a dining room with connecting door through to a further reception/play room and French doors to the gardens, whilst a conservatory is accessed from the drawing room.
The kitchen/breakfast room features an oil fired ?Aga` and has two doors, one to the old servants` staircase to the first floor, the other with stairs down to the basement where there are currently two useful rooms and a third unopened chamber; these areas have the potential to become anything from a utility/laundry room, games room or possibly your own personal wine cellar.
Stairs rise to an impressive galleried landing with doors leading off to the four bedrooms, each a double room with Bedrooms 1 & 2 having a dual aspect with views over the garden. There are two bathrooms, which could potentially be combined to create one luxury bathroom or alternatively, an En-Suite to Bedroom 1.
Generous enclosed gardens lie to the south and east elevations of the property with areas of undulating lawn and level patios together with weaving pathways through established foliage and established trees (a mature copper birch is a particular favourite) leading to a once productive vegetable garden with old outbuildings & sheds.
Separate from the house is a 24` x 15` (7.32m x 4.57m) barn, currently divided in two and used as a garage and for general storage, with an up & over garage door and double wooden doors together with access to the loft area, which offers potential for a further useable space.
Location
Northdown Road is quietly situated on the outskirts of Bideford with the Town Centre and local schooling conveniently situated nearby. The long sandy beach and famous Royal North Devon links golf course at Westward Ho! together with the popular villages of Appledore & Instow are all within 4 miles. A wider range of shopping and leisure facilities will be found in Barnstaple, the regional centre of North Devon, a further 12 miles distance whilst the motorway network at Junction 27 of the M5 is within an hours drive.
