Grade 2 Georgian Townhouse
About this house rental
Waterloo House dates back to 1815 and has an interesting history. It was once a boys school, and has the remains of the old Bideford potteries in the garden walls. As of 2023, we are just finishing upgrading the house with new windows, new carpets/floorings, and is newly decorated inside and out. The house stands proudly in a Georgian terrace and looks out over a beautifully manicured bowling green. Situated in a no through road with limited traffic, there is parking available in the local sports ground a few steps away (£2.50 a day). The house stands on 3 floors with ample accommodation for 12 people. There are 6 bedrooms, (4 doubles and 2 twins), 3 reception rooms, a good sized kitchen, and a games room. From the first floor kitchen, there is a sun terrace with steps that lead down to the patio area and rear garden. This walled garden is secure, peaceful and secluded. Half is laid to patio with the rear section to grass with some wild nooks and cranny's including a magical corner summer house. Bideford is affectionately known as 'The Little White Town' and has an interesting maze of narrow streets to explore with many fine Georgian and Victorian buildings. Some delightful shops and cafes are just a few minutes walk from the house, as well as Victoria Park situated along side the River Torridge and offers a museum and cafe, children's play area and paddling pool. Cycle hire is available in Bideford and the Tarka trail is recommended stretching from Torrington through Bideford to Barnstaple.

This is a house that shows its age in a stylish way. Lovely secluded garden in the heart of the town. Sited right in the heart of Bideford with it’s tidal River Torridge close by. A friendly town with real shops; and supermarkets if you must. Obliging owners.
No off-road parking but plenty of cheap parking across the road. Permit for one car may be available.
True to its description. Charming and intriguing if lacking the en-suite luxury some might desire. And as they say in the property programmes on TV: “Location, location, location.”
Thoroughly recommended: wish we were still there .

In general the house was very good and I think it was very similar to what we expected. It was very clean and it was very comfortable in relation to all the people who used the house. The kitchen was very nice, very well equipped and the oven was fantastic!
I think the house needs a couple of renovations anyways since there a few things which are quite old. Also it doesn't make too much sense to have so many bedrooms if there is only one bathroom.

Lack of toilets?
Can I suggest you make the laundry room into a downstairs shower and toilet, 9 people, 1 shower, not great! Other than that minor quibble everything else, great! Roger & Jane hall

Spacious period property in the heart of town
A great long weekend at this amazing property. Yes, it needs some work, but the house is beautiful, incredibly spacious, and the garden a delight. It was extremely well equipped for a three generation holiday, with many toys for the kids, two reception rooms to get some peace and quiet, and the balcony is a lovely sun trap. The hosts were extremely helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We have just returned from a 3 night break as a family of 12.
We had a lovely family time away in Bideford but we were all very disappointed in the appearance of the house.
The house is a lovely size for us all and the kitchen is fully equipped but the house is in desperate need of some TLC.
The carpets are thread bare, the windows are only single pane and the beds are really uncomfortable.
The host is very informative and accommodating but the house wasn't what we expected from the photographs

The house isn't as advertised in the pictures and is in need of lots of money spent

Had a great few days in Bideford
12 of us stayed for few days to celebrate my father in laws 80th birthday. The house is big and roomy with enough space to not be be cluttered together. The heating was great and for a very old house it was not cold at all. The garden is great and the balcony is a lovley spot to enjoy a morning coffee. The house is in a perfect location just a 1 min walk from Bideford and close to a couple of great pubs. All in all a great stay.

We stayed at this property for a week in August as a family of nine adults. On arrival we noticed how tired the property looked and did not compare to the pictures we viewed online and unfortunately this continued throughout the property. This is a lovely old building and with a lot of TLC and modernisation could be a stunning property to let. It overlooks the bowls club and football club which was a nice added bonus. However, all of the rooms need a thorough clean and attention to decoration. The patio area is a sun trap but again needs updating and made more inviting. It’s in a great quiet location ideal for touring North Devon, close to the centre of town and the river. We had no issue for parking, as there were spaces available most days or you could park in the football club ground for a nominal price.

Excellent place for large groups.
We had a great time, really big house, twelve adults plenty of space for all. it probably wants a bit of work, but I personally loved the old feel of knowing its history and the styling is classic Georgian. Would happily go back if we all go away again next year.

A Perfect Family Holiday
Waterloo House is spacious and comfortable. Lovely airy bedrooms, a magical garden and a great patio area. An abundance of crockery, cutlery and kitchen equipment. Tea towels, washing up equipment etc., all provided. We went as a family of twelve to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary - with our three children and five grandchildren whose ages range between 1year and 13years. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed our week and loved the house. They all want to book it again next year.
