Situated in a tucked away position in Bickington, this characterful listed cottage is the ideal place to enjoy a family holiday on the North Devon coast. This holiday let is only a 200-metre walk to the local pub and convenience store/post office. There's a bus stop at the end of the lane. The busy market town of Barnstaple is 2 miles away and has a theatre, cinema, huge range of restaurants, shops and the famous Pannier Market. A 4-mile drive will bring you to the seaside village of Instow with its dog-friendly beach, pubs and restaurants. Further afield, you will find many other attractions, including the beach at Westward Ho! (9.5 miles), the Big Sheep family attraction (9.5 miles) and The Milky Way adventure park (16.5 miles). Nearby, the scenic and car-free Tarka Trail provides a safe and level cycle route with bicycles available to hire locally.
This is a home full of personality, where stylish, modern finishes sit alongside preserved original features. The wooden-floored open-plan living/dining room has a three-seater sofa and two comfy armchairs which surround a wood burner in an inglenook fireplace, adding cosy warmth during the winter months. A fitted galley kitchen is well equipped and has views over the garden. Reflecting the character and age of the property, a steep staircase leads to the double, twin and single bedrooms, which are all served by a stylishly tiled family bathroom.
There is a washing machine and freezer in the brick garden outbuilding adjacent to the back door, and you will find a handy outside hanging space in the undercover porch area. Steps lead up to the enclosed garden with a patio area, picnic bench and a lovely lawn. An attractive summer house at the end of the garden gives a nice relaxing space to enjoy a glass of wine after a busy day exploring all this wonderful area has to offer.
