Plot 26, The Holly, is a beautifully proportioned detached chalet-bungalow, designed to offer the best of both single-storey convenience and additional first-floor space. It is a home that effortlessly adapts to changing needs, making it equally appealing to those looking to retire or downsize as it is to young families wanting room to grow. The welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for a home that feels bright, generous and thoughtfully laid out.

At the heart of the property is the impressive 23ft-long kitchen/family room, a space designed for modern living. Full-height glazed double doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. This is a room made for relaxed breakfasts at the breakfast bar, family meals around the table, or entertaining friends on summer evenings with the doors thrown open to the garden. The contemporary kitchen offers ample storage, integrated appliances and a practical layout that makes everyday life both easy and enjoyable.

Double doors lead through to the spacious 16ft x 13ft lounge, allowing you to create either an open-plan flow or a more intimate setting depending on the occasion. Like the kitchen, the lounge benefits from direct garden access, drawing in natural light and reinforcing that sense of connection to the outdoors that is such a defining feature of this home.

The ground floor also provides a cloakroom/WC and a useful store cupboard for everyday essentials, keeping the living spaces beautifully uncluttered. Importantly, there is a generous ground floor double bedroom complete with its own well-appointed en suite shower room. This offers superb flexibility – ideal for those who prefer to avoid stairs, for guests seeking privacy, or even as a hobbies room or home office to suit changing lifestyles.

Upstairs, two further equally spacious 17ft double bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation for family or visitors, served by a contemporary family bathroom. A particularly practical feature is the walk-in store off the landing – perfect for suitcases, seasonal decorations and all those items you want accessible without climbing into a loft space.

Energy efficiency is an important consideration for modern buyers, and Plot 26 performs strongly with an impressive B-rated EPC. Designed with efficiency and low running costs in mind, The Holly allows residents to enjoy comfortable living with greater peace of mind about energy consumption and long-term affordability.

Externally, this home enjoys an appreciable L-shaped plot with the colourfully planted front garden that enhances its kerb appeal. The gardens provide attractive yet manageable outdoor spaces – perfect for relaxing in the sun, entertaining friends, or simply enjoying the fresh Devon air without the burden of heavy maintenance. There is a garage and additional off-road parking for 3 cars, features that remain highly valued by today’s buyers.

To the north, the old fishing village of Appledore lies at the mouth of the River Torridge just three miles from Bideford; it has a rich maritime heritage and is about six miles west of Barnstaple. Across the estuary, the quaint village of Instow sits where the rivers Taw and Torridge meet; it boasts a sandy beach, sand dunes with rare orchids and is served by the Tarka Trail and South West Coast Path. For beach lovers, Westward Ho! offers two miles of Blue Flag sand backed by a unique pebble ridge and Northam Burrows Country Park, while the nearby surfing beaches at Saunton, Croyde, Putsborough and Woolacombe form part of the North Devon World Surfing Reserve, a 30 km stretch of coastline renowned for its consistent, worldclass waves. The South West Coast Path itself runs for 630 miles along the peninsula; from Exmoor to Cornwall it provides spectacular scenery and nourishment for mind, body and soul. Exmoor National Park and the wild open moorland beyond offer further walking, cycling and wildlife-watching opportunities.

To celebrate the launch of Chapel Green there will be a VIP event at The Royal Hotel, Bideford on Thursday 9 April between 4 pm and 7 pm.
