omidknight Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Full time residential home after selling 3 bed detached bungalow with 2 tandem garages and loads of parking. Mid terrace newbuild fishermans cottage Westward Ho! 110 metres from sea wall. Well insulated 3 bed 2.5 storey. Slate looking roof. Entrance porch. Groundfloor cloakroom, 1st floor 2 bedrooms (1 ensuite) and 1 bathroom. 2nd floor velux window with glimpse of sea over roof tops and Lundy 15 miles away. Condensing gas combi boiler. 2 water butts. Space for washing line. Good things - small manageable garden - buses every half hour from a bus stop slighty uphill 150 metres away. This means it is a downhill route with our shopping trolleys. 5 free buses a week to Sainsburys and Tesco. Great coastal walk and sea views. Sea birds and quaint Appledore close by. Pub next door. Chemist, postoffice small supermarket within 150metres. Doctors surgery 1 mile away. Only footpath access. £3.40 all day north Devon bus ticket - not 60 years old yet! Interesting things - No parking Nothing bad - just challenging How about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good things about where we live Half a hour from Manchester airport so no hassle for flights " " from North Wales coast with beautiful scenery Three quaters of hour from Liverpool on train plenty to see and do there 10 mins. from Chester lived here all my life and still find new things to see. 5 mins from Local Castle and lovley grounds to walk in 5 mins from Asda & Tesco in the car. 15 mins from Cheshire Oaks outlet village. and Yes Doctors / Dentist / Hairdressers 10 min walk away. No main roads by us. Local leisure centre / swimming baths / Ice Rink all near by. Bad things Not sure been trying to think asked OH but still thinking. Carol.
