Description
Steps lead up from the roadside to the main entrance, where a small storm porch welcomes you to the property. The front door opens into a central hallway, providing access to the main living areas.
The lounge, situated at the front of the house, offers generous space for sizeable furniture and is bathed in natural light thanks to a large front-facing window. From here, enjoy far-reaching views of the river and surrounding countryside — a perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining
Continuing through the hallway towards the rear of the property, you enter a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and conservatory area. This versatile space is thoughtfully designed to accommodate modern family living.
The dining/conservatory area offers excellent flexibility — whether it's a family dining table, additional lounge seating, or even a home office setup, this space can be adapted to suit your needs. Large windows and doors overlook the rear garden, creating a light-filled environment with direct access to the garden and side of the home
From the dining area, you step into the kitchen, which features a sleek, modern design with gloss-finished eye-level and base units. There's ample cupboard space, along with room for a free-standing cooker and additional appliances, making it both practical and stylish for everyday cooking needs. A rear-facing window offers views over the garden, allowing natural light to brighten the space
To the first floor, the property offers two generously sized double bedrooms, one overlooking the rear garden and the other enjoying elevated views to the front — including far-reaching river and countryside vistas. The third bedroom is a comfortable single, also positioned at the front of the property with similar scenic outlooks.
The family bathroom is fitted with a WC, hand wash basin, and a corner bath with a shower over ideal for both quick morning routines and relaxing evening soaks.
Outside, the enclosed rear garden is arranged over two levels, providing a mix of paved patio areas perfect for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply unwinding in the fresh air. There is also convenient access to the side of the home.
Directions- From Bideford Quay, proceed towards Torrington and at the first mini roundabout go straight across and at the next roundabout take the first exit towards Torrington on the A386. Take the first right into Ford Rise and follow the road into Devonshire Park, continue along until you see number 52 on your left- hand side clearly displayed by a Webbers For Sale Board.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
