Lovely property situated in the quaint fishing village of Appledore and within easy reach of local beaches.

The village of Appledore has a tempting range of restaurants, pubs and shops to choose from. During the summer take the foot ferry to Instow, where there is a sandy beach and plenty of pubs and restaurants to choose from. A larger beach with its pebble ridge at Westward Ho! is just a short drive away or you may prefer to walk along the coast path to get there. Visit nearby Bideford where you will find a range of shops, pubs and restaurants. For a fun day out for the little ones visit the Big Sheep or the Milky Way.

Upon entering the two storey property via a few stone steps you will find yourself in the hallway with handy a cupboard for putting away your coats and boots after a day out walking. From here you can walk through to the lounge where you can relax and soak up the incredible views over Appledore or watch your favourite programme on the Smart TV snuggling up in front of the flame effect electric fire. The room next door is a small snug area with Smart TV, electric fire and French doors leading to the garden, it is the perfect space to enjoy a bit of peace and quiet with a good book. The kitchen/diner is well-equipped for preparing a meal with electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. From here (or the snug) you can head out to the patio area with outdoor dining set. Heading upstairs to the first floor you will find three bedrooms; a super-king-size and one double, both with estuary views followed by one twin with garden views and an en-suite shower room with WC. Completing the first floor is the family bathroom with a shower over bath and WC.

Outside, to the rear of the property is a beautiful enclosed garden, rare for Appledore. There are four separate patio areas to enjoy with the top one having an estuary view and a charcoal BBQ. Mature plants surround the dining and seating areas making it the perfect place to relax. An external side gate also makes it convenient to access the garden to avoid sandy paws through the house!

From the garden, there are gated external steps leading up to the games room/garage with table football and magnetic dart board plus a handy utility area with tumble dryer.
50 meters from the property is a large open green space perfect for walking your four legged friends.

Very well equipped and comfortable house in an elevated position with great views over the estuary. A short walk down to the waterfront with local shops and eateries. Handy to have parking and a games room.

Fernlea is absolutely wonderful for couples and families alike. It is the most well equipped holiday home we have ever stayed in. It is spacious and very comfortable. We enjoyed the ever changing view from the front and would have made use of the very attractive garden had the weather been fine. Proximity to shops, beaches, walks is excellent.

Clean & tidy property, well equipped, though we had to enquire about whereabouts of the ironing board and the clothes airer. Great views of the river from the living room and two of the three upstairs bedrooms! Watch out for steep stairs to the bedrooms, and the series of steps to the garage and parking space at the back garden. If steps are no proRead moreblem for you, enjoy the delightful views of the river. Convenient short walk to a playing field nearby, especially for your dog(s). Hide

Lovely cottage with the most amazing view. Easy reach to Appledore centre where there are some great places to eat and always something to watch. The walk to the centre is a short but steep walk down with an event steeper walk back! We enjoyed going to Westward Ho and taking our puppy on the beach at the Burrows/north end. We enjoyed great fish andRead more chips at the Seagate, lovely cream tea at the market street kitchen, and brilliant take out from the the flame factory. John's is also worth going to Hide

Lovely cottage, wonderfully equipped and comfortable. View, especially from Sitting Room, is awesome. Beware, it is as steep as described, but we managed to walk to and from village Ok. Rear steps in garden are a bit worrying for older people with no hand rail. Also no hand holds in either shower.

Summary: maybe not for the elderly, unfit, or unsteady but otherwise great. Hide

The location of the house was good for visiting the surrounding areas. It was well equipped and the views from the house and garden were lovely. The garden is on several different levels with seating area on all patios and was very pleasant. Had a great Sunday lunch in the Beaver in Appledore and a lovely meal in the Boathouse in Instow with great Read moreviews overlooking the estuary. The beach at Westward Ho was lovely however my favorite was Saunton Sands. Would definitely visit again Hide
