Waterloo House, a historic property dating back to 1815, is located in Bideford, Devon, within the picturesque South West of England. Once serving as a boys' school, the house retains remnants of the old Bideford potteries within its garden walls. As of 2023, the property has undergone significant renovations, including the installation of new windows and flooring, alongside fresh interior and exterior decorations. Nestled in a Georgian terrace, it overlooks a beautifully maintained bowling green and is situated on a quiet, no-through road, providing a peaceful environment for guests.
This spacious accommodation can comfortably sleep up to 12 guests across its three floors, featuring six bedrooms—four doubles and two twins. The layout includes three reception rooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and a games room, ensuring ample space for relaxation and entertainment. A notable highlight is the first-floor kitchen that opens onto a sun terrace, which descends to a secure, secluded walled garden. This outdoor space is divided between a patio area and a grassy section, complete with charming wild corners and a delightful summer house, perfect for enjoying the tranquil surroundings.
Bideford, affectionately known as 'The Little White Town', boasts a captivating array of narrow streets lined with fine Georgian and Victorian architecture. Guests will find an assortment of delightful shops and cafes just a short walk from the house. Victoria Park, adjacent to the River Torridge, is another nearby attraction, featuring a museum, café, and facilities for children including a play area and paddling pool. The vibrant community atmosphere adds to the charm of Bideford, making it an inviting destination for families and visitors alike.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the various recreational opportunities available in the area. Bideford is well-positioned near the Tarka Trail, a scenic route ideal for cycling, which stretches from Torrington through Bideford to Barnstaple. Nearby attractions include Northam Burrows Country Park and the North Devon Coast, showcasing the region's natural beauty. Families can enjoy local theme parks such as The Big Sheep and Atlantis Adventure Park, while activities like game walks and birdwatching offer additional ways to explore and appreciate the area's wildlife and landscapes.
