Having originally been built in the late 1990's the property has been well maintained and kept with improvements including the installation of upvc double glazed windows and the addition of a rear conservatory. The property is complimented by a most attractive rear garden and to the front it enjoys a most pleasant aspect.
Orchard Rise is a small and attractive cul de sac development comprising detached houses and bungalows set off the end of Chanters Road so as to be ideally located for all age groups wishing to be handy for the town centre.
A healthy walk through the beautifully maintained Victoria Park and Playing Fields, which adjoin the banks of the River Torridge, leads directly to the picturesque quayside off which lies the principle shopping centre. Alternatively the route follows alongside Park Lane and Park Avenue or indeed via Morrisons supermarket off Kingsley Road. Situated close by there is a useful pedestrian 'short cut' through into Glentorr Road which gives quicker access to the town and park rather than taking the road out of Orchard Rise itself.
There is a Junior/Infants School within Chanters Road and regular bus services are available at the end onto the nearby resort of Westward Ho! (3 miles) with its long sandy beach and adjoining championship golf course or alternatively to North Devon's regional centre of Barnstaple (approx. 10 miles).
