One End House is a period townhouse of rendered elevations under a pitched roof, occupying a prominent corner position within the conservation area of the village. The house is listed Grade II and retains a good deal of original character, including fireplaces, ceiling mouldings and a curved bay to the front elevation.
Internally the accommodation is generous and adaptable. The ground floor provides three reception rooms together with a kitchen and breakfast room and a conservatory. The first floor is arranged around a wide landing, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and the second floor provides two further bedrooms, an office and attic space. There are additional smaller rooms suited to study or hobby use.
Appledore is a former port and shipbuilding village on the Torridge estuary, known for its quayside and narrow cobbled streets. The village offers a shop, primary school, library, galleries and craft shops, and a good number of pubs and restaurants. Northam and Burrows Country Park are close by, as is Westward Ho! with its beach and golf course. Bideford is around three miles away.
