Just a short stroll from the property, Instow Beach (0.5 miles) lies along the banks of the River Torridge as it meanders to its mouth nearby. Vibrant Instow also boasts a delightful range of restaurants and friendly pubs, plus a popular foot ferry crossing the river to the picturesque village of Appledore, which is home to the North Devon Maritime Museum (1 mile). Also within easy reach is the Victorian seaside resort of Westward Ho! (5 miles), with its glorious, 2-mile stretch of golden sand leading up to the beautiful Northam Burrows Country Park.

Before stepping into this fantastic, reverse-level property, take a moment to soak in your surroundings of verdant treelines and other opulent houses looking out. The ground floor is made up by a spacious garage which has been converted into a games room where guests will find comfy seating, table tennis and a separate WC. Impressive, sweeping steps wrap around the house, leading to the first floor which plays host to a spacious entrance hall, a cosy snug and four sumptuous bedrooms. Kick-off sandy shoes in the hall and find that the snug offers inviting seating, a Smart TV and a selection of books and games – the perfect escape for any little ones. The bedrooms on this level comprise two super-king-size rooms, one king-size room and an airy twin room, all of which boast Smart TVs for lazy mornings. Two bedrooms offer well-appointed en-suite shower rooms, while a glistening family bathroom completes the floor. Head up to the second and final level to uncover a wonderful, open-plan kitchen/diner which is soaked in natural light thanks to the many windows. Boasting an island, plenty of space and all the amenities needed to cook up a seaside feast, this is the perfect spot to gather at the start and end of each special day away. A Smart TV in the kitchen is an added bonus for keen chefs. Completing the interior is a sumptuous lounge, offering a light-filled space with ample comfy seating, a Smart TV, and access the scenic patio.
Outside, there’s a cool and secluded lower courtyard with seating and steps leading to the upper-level patio which can also be reached from the main living room. With a choice of seating areas, the upper patio is a fantastic space to sit out, enjoy a BBQ and take in the far-reaching views. Parking is available on the driveway for up to four cars.
