Charming to the core, this quintessentially coastal cottage overlooking the breathtaking Bucks Mills Beach is the ultimate escape for families and groups of friends keen to answer the call of the sea. The idyllic hamlet of Bucks Mills seems almost untouched by time, offering plenty of scenic walks, picturesque picnic spots and opportunities for fishing or swimming. From your doorstep, stroll down the walkway to pebbly Bucks Mills Beach to while away a fine afternoon skimming stones out to sea or join the South West Coast Path to Peppercombe Beach (4 miles) to journey through ancient woodland teeming with wildlife. Keen water sports enthusiasts can surf the tide at Westward Ho! Beach 10.5 miles away, which boasts 2 miles of gloriously golden sand backed by a magnificent pebble ridge. The quaint fishing village of Appledore, with its local pubs and art galleries, can be reached within 11 miles.
Combining the cottage’s rich heritage with sophisticated, contemporary touches, the spacious kitchen/diner will capture your imagination, inspiring you to get creative with your tasty local flavours; as dusk falls, fire up the wood burner housed inside an exposed brickwork fireplace to keep toes toasty long into the evening. Bursting with original features including stunning ceiling beams, exposed brickwork and wood flooring, the lounge boasts a truly warming atmosphere, perfectly reflecting the tranquillity of your surrounding scenery which is framed by the large set of patio doors. Sharing the same charm and character as the ground floor, the three bedrooms upstairs, two doubles and one twin, offer a haven of serenity to retire to at the end of a busy day’s adventure. From sunrise to sunset, the family bathroom upstairs provides everything you need to feel refreshed.
Outside, make the most of your stunning scenery and soak up the salty sea air by dining alfresco on the enclosed terrace which boasts truly breath-taking views across the rugged North Devon coastline and open ocean beyond. You’ll also find private parking for one car outside, as well as additional on-street parking which is subject to availability.
