This three-storey house sits overlooking the pretty estuary village of Instow. Lovingly furnished, it provides a perfect holiday home with the beach and all amenities within an easy walk.
The golden sands at Instow are within easy walking distance allowing you to spend the day building sandcastles or enjoying a meal in one of the many beachfront pubs and restaurants. The Tarka Trail, offering traffic-free walking and cycling, goes inland to Bideford or around the coast, and is just a short walk from the house. The market town of Bideford is just 3.5 miles away. Appledore, just across the water, is 5 miles away by road, however, you can hop on the small seasonal passenger ferry at high tide from the quayside. Or, stroll down to the local deli, where you can purchase all manner of local treats.
You enter the property from the rear via the roadside, and you are greeted by a light and bright entrance hall. Following on to the left, you’ll find the kitchen which is well fitted and equipped with an electric oven, warming drawer and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer and coffee machine with milk frother.
Heading on, you reach the open-plan lounge/diner where you can sit and watch the boats come and go. Comfortable seating and a gas fire provide a cosy spot to relax or maybe watch a movie on the Smart TV. The dining area has a good-sized, extendable dining table making mealtimes a breeze – it’s the perfect place to reflect on the day's adventures. Heading on upstairs to the first floor, you have two bedrooms and a bathroom. Firstly, a twin bedroom (which can be made as a super-king on request) aptly named 'East Room' with authuretic Japense furniture, rich colours and an eastern theme. Followed by the bathroom with a large shower and a WC. Along the landing is the king-size bedroom with lovely estuary views, named 'West Room'. Heading on up a further flight of stairs, you reach the master bedroom, named 'Sky Room' which has a double bed and a partial open-plan bathroom with a glimpse of the estuary from the free-standing bath and WC. Two large Velux windows open out to a glass Juliette balcony, allowing you to enjoy far-reaching countryside and estuary views from this relaxing room.
Venture outside and you will find an enclosed rear garden area, where you can enjoy beautiful views across Instow and beyond to the river. There is stone, flower garden with furniture and a charcoal BBQ so you can enjoy the last of the evening sun on both patio areas.
Roadside parking a short distance from the cottage and is subject to availability. There is also a pay and display car park nearby.
