Hidden away within one of Bideford’s most coveted residential settings, Glenrowan is a truly remarkable home — a residence of history, stature and quiet grandeur, offering almost 5,500 sq ft of beautifully evolving accommodation. Rich in character and presence, this elegant seven-bedroom house has been shaped and enlarged over centuries to create a home of immense charm and adaptability, perfectly attuned to the demands of modern family living, multi-generational occupation or those seeking a distinguished residence with space to breathe, entertain and grow. Occupying a wonderfully private position within the prestigious Orchard Hill area, Glenrowan enjoys the rare privilege of seclusion without isolation, tucked discreetly away yet within easy reach of Bideford’s amenities. Attached to the neighbouring private residence, Glenville, by just one original wall, the house enjoys an exclusive and mature setting, surrounded by established grounds of approximately 0.36 acres, which lend both shelter and a sense of sanctuary. Believed to have originated centuries ago as a traditional Devon longhouse, Glenrowan’s story is woven into the fabric of Bideford’s heritage. In the late 19th century, it was home to the Vincent family, known locally through Vincent & Duncan’s Collar Factory, and it was during this period that the handsome façade was introduced as part of a significant extension to accommodate their large family. In later years, the property passed into the ownership of notable local businessman Thomas Burton, founder of Bideford’s Burton Gallery in 1951. Today, the house stands as a fine and enduring example of a home that has evolved with grace, while still retaining the authenticity of its origins. Although steeped in history, Glenrowan is not listed, a valuable and increasingly rare advantage that allows future owners flexibility alongside the enjoyment of its architectural heritage. Throughout the house, an abundance of original and period detail remains beautifully intact, including marble fireplaces, oak panelling, ornate cornicing, picture and dado rails, Victorian sash windows, and the striking double-hearth chimney rediscovered by the current owners — now a captivating focal point within one of the principal reception rooms. The present custodians have carefully and sympathetically restored and modernised the property, breathing new life into this wonderful home while leaving ample opportunity for a discerning buyer to further tailor it to their own vision. The accommodation is both gracious and highly versatile, unfolding with an effortless sense of scale and flow. A glazed entrance veranda gives way to a welcoming reception hall, from where the central staircase rises elegantly to the first floor. The living room is both atmospheric and inviting, centred around twin chimney breasts, one of which houses a wood-burning stove. At the heart of the home, the beautifully appointed farmhouse-style kitchen/dining room is perfectly designed for everyday life and informal entertaining, complemented by a secondary staircase and rear access. Elsewhere on the ground floor, a drawing room or study offers a quieter retreat, while the impressive formal dining room, complete with feature fireplace, provides a refined setting for hosting family and friends. A large wet room, utility room, and an adjoining studio with separate shower room, store and mezzanine level further enhance the flexibility of the house, offering excellent potential for guest accommodation, creative pursuits, home working or independent ancillary living. An additional staircase descends from the main hall to a generous lower ground floor games room, which could equally become a superb cinema room, leisure space or teenager’s den. The first floor continues to impress, where a charming galleried landing leads to seven substantial double bedrooms, each enjoying its own sense of character and proportion. A family bathroom and separate cloakroom complete the upper floor, ensuring practicality sits comfortably alongside period elegance. To the front of the property, there is a generous parking and turning area, complemented by a detached single garage and ramped pedestrian access leading conveniently to the side entrance. The landscaped gardens wrap around the house beautifully, featuring a lower lawned area interspersed with a variety of established shrubs and mature trees. Adjoining the side elevation is a substantial paved terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Formerly a garage and now arranged as a workshop/studio, an additional outbuilding sits alongside the patio and offers potential to be reopened to provide vehicular access from Orchard Hill once again, if desired. Accessed from the rear hall, a charming enclosed courtyard garden provides a delightful and sheltered retreat, complete with gated rear access and a useful store. Overall, the gardens enjoy a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. Glenrowan is far more than a handsome period house; it is a home of genuine substance and soul — a place where history, architecture and family life converge in the most compelling way. Rarely do properties of this scale and provenance come to the market in such a private and desirable location. For those seeking a distinguished North Devon residence with beauty, flexibility and a story to tell, Glenrowan offers an exceptional and deeply memorable opportunity. View more View less Nichée dans l’un des environnements résidentiels les plus convoités de Bideford, Glenrowan est une demeure véritablement remarquable — une demeure d’histoire, de stature et de grandeur tranquille, offrant près de 5 500 pieds carrés d’hébergements magnifiquement évolutifs. Riche en caractère et en présence, cette élégante maison de sept chambres a été façonnée et agrandie au fil des siècles pour créer un foyer d’un immense charme et d’adaptabilité, parfaitement adapté aux exigences de la vie familiale moderne, de l’occupation multigénérationnelle ou de ceux qui recherchent une résidence distinguée avec un espace pour respirer, recevoir et grandir. Occupant une position merveilleusement privée au sein de la prestigieuse région d’Orchard Hill, Glenrowan bénéficie du rare privilège d’isolement sans isolement, discrètement niché mais à proximité des commodités de Bideford. Reliée à la résidence privée voisine, Glenville, par un seul mur d’origine, la maison bénéficie d’un cadre exclusif et mature, entourée de terrains aménagés d’environ 0,36 acre, qui offrent à la fois abri et un sentiment de sanctuaire. Considérée comme ayant vu le jour il y a des siècles comme une maison longue traditionnelle du Devon, l’histoire de Glenrowan est tissée dans le tissu du patrimoine de Bideford. À la fin du XIXe siècle, elle abritait la famille Vincent, connue localement par la fabrique de cols Vincent & Duncan, et c’est durant cette période que la belle façade fut introduite dans le cadre d’une extension importante pour accueillir leur grande famille. Plus tard, la propriété passa sous la propriété de l’homme d’affaires local notable Thomas Burton, fondateur de la Burton Gallery de Bideford en 1951. Aujourd’hui, la maison demeure un bel et durable exemple d’une maison qui a évolué avec grâce, tout en conservant l’authenticité de ses origines. Bien qu’imprégnée d’histoire, Glenrowan n’est pas classée, un avantage précieux et de plus en plus rare qui permet aux futurs propriétaires de la flexibilité tout en profitant de son patrimoine architectural. Dans toute la maison, une abondance de détails originaux et d’époque reste magnifiquement intacte, notamment des cheminées en marbre, des boiseries en chêne, des corniches ornées, des rampes de tableau et de dado, des fenêtres à guillotine victoriennes, et la flamboyante cheminée à double cheminée redécouverte par les propriétaires actuels — aujourd’hui un point focal captivant dans l’une des principales salles de réception. Les concierges actuels ont soigneusement et avec sympathie restauré et modernisé la propriété, insufflant une nouvelle vie à cette merveilleuse demeure tout en laissant de nombreuses opportunités à un acheteur avisé pour l’adapter davantage à sa propre vision. L’hébergement est à la fois élégant et très polyvalent, se déployant avec un sens sans effort de l’échelle et du fluidité. Une véranda d’entrée vitrée donne la place à un hall de réception accueillant, d’où l’escalier central monte élégamment jusqu’au premier étage. Le salon est à la fois atmosphérique et accueillant, centré autour de deux poitrines de cheminée, dont l’une abrite un poêle à bois. Au cœur de la maison, la cuisine/salle à manger de style ferme magnifiquement aménagée est parfaitement conçue pour la vie quotidienne et les réceptions informelles, complétée par un escalier secondaire et un accès arrière. Ailleurs au rez-de-chaussée, un salon ou bureau offre un lieu de retraite plus calme, tandis que la salle à manger formelle impressionnante, dotée d’une cheminée à ressort, offre un cadre raffiné pour accueillir famille et amis. Une grande salle humide, une buanderie et un studio attenant avec douche séparée, un magasin et un niveau mezzanine renforcent encore la flexibilité de la maison, offrant un excellent potentiel pour l’hébergement des invités, des activités créatives, le travail à domicile ou la vie annexe indépendante. Un escalier supplémentaire descend du hall principal vers une généreuse salle de jeux au rez-de-chaussée, qui pourrait tout aussi bien devenir une superbe salle de cinéma, un espace de loisirs ou un salon pour adolescents. Le rez-de-chaussée continue d’impressionner, où un charmant palier avec galerie mène à sept chambres doubles imposantes, chacune jouissant de son propre sens du caractère et de la proportion. Une salle de bain familiale et un vestiaire séparé complètent l’étage supérieur, garantissant que la praticité s’accorde parfaitement avec l’élégance d’époque. À l’avant de la propriété, il y a un généreux parking et un espace de virage, complété par un garage individuel et un accès piétonnier en rampe menant commodément à l’entrée latérale. Les jardins paysagers entourent magnifiquement la maison, avec une pelouse plus basse parsemée de divers arbustes établis et d’arbres matures. À côté de la façade latérale se trouve une importante terrasse pavée, idéale pour la restauration en plein air et les réceptions. Autrefois un garage et désormais aménagé en atelier/atelier, un bâtiment annexe supplémentaire se trouve à côté de la terrasse et offre une possibilité de réouverture pour permettre un accès automobile depuis Orchard Hill à nouveau, si désiré. Accessible depuis le hall arrière, un charmant jardin clos offre un refuge charmant et abrité, avec un accès arrière grillé et un entrepôt utile. Dans l’ensemble, les jardins bénéficient d’un merveilleux sentiment d’intimité et d’isolement. Glenrowan est bien plus qu’une belle maison d’époque ; C’est un foyer de véritable substance et d’âme — un lieu où l’histoire, l’architecture et la vie familiale convergent de la manière la plus captivante. Rarement des propriétés de cette envergure et de cette provenance arrivent sur le marché dans un lieu aussi privé et recherché. Pour ceux qui recherchent une résidence distinguée dans le nord du Devon, avec beauté, flexibilité et une histoire à raconter, Glenrowan offre une opportunité exceptionnelle et profondément mémorable.
