We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A fantastic opportunity to buy a waterfront property available exclusively off market.
The property is well located close to the village just off Marine Parade, walking distance to the Beach, pubs and shop - viewings are a MUST!
Contact the Bideford team for more information and to arrange a viewing appointment. Instow's maritime character is amplified by the presence of colourful fishing boats bobbing gently in the harbour.
Boasting a glorious sandy riverside beach, backed by dunes, Instow is popular among families and water-sports enthusiasts alike.
The beach expands over 200 acres at low tide ideal for those of you that have four-legged friends.
With its beautiful active estuary, golden sandy beach and thriving community, the village offers a plethora of award-winning restaurants, cafes, and a well-regarded local delicatessen, the village could be considered a ‘foodie’s’ paradise.
It is also home to the popular Yacht club, as well as having access to the Tarka trail for walkers and cyclists and a pedestrian ferry to Appledore during the summer months too.
There is a primary school in the village as well as convenient access to nearby secondary schooling and further education in the surrounding towns of Barnstaple and Bideford.
There is also a village church and hall with frequent activities and contemporary events.
