Description

Gladstone is a stylish Grade II colonial style semi next door to the pub in the historic centre of Braunton. It is rumoured that Prime Minister William Gladstone stayed in the house during a visit to see relatives.

The ground floor features a large open plan living area, which incorporates the fully newly fitted equipped kitchen with quartz worktops, dining room and lounge, with spectacular bay window. Guests can see views of the neighbouring church when seated in the comfy furniture around the fireplace. An added bonus is a separate utility room with a freezer and washing machine. There is a wet room through a low door off the kitchen with a slate floor and Italian marble wall tiles. There are two bedrooms on the first floor, the double beyond an unusual footbridge and another main room with king sized bed and en-suite facilities at the front of the property. The balcony is just for decoration. There is no access. More steep stairs lead up to the low-roofed top floor where there is a twin room, snug and bathroom, with stylish slipper bath. Mind your head. There is a table and chairs on the front porch under the newly tiled veranda or for al fresco dining, there is a rear courtyard with a gravel patio and bench seating.

The Black Horse pub is next door and more pubs, shops and restaurants can be found in the village, a short walk along the level Tarka Trail cycle path. The nearest beach is Croyde just three miles west

Reviews

Wonderful house, lovely period features and very cosy yet spacious.

Ms j,

We have recently spent 5 wonderful days at Gladstone. The house gave us, and our 2 dogs, everything that we could have possibly needed. Cosy settees, a log burner should it be needed (the house was super warm), fully equipped kitchen and a truly comfortable bed. We spent our days hiking the beautiful beaches locally, the evenings relaxing at the house. We visited the Black Horse Pub one evening, which is very conveniently next door to the house. First class food and service. We will definitely visit again.

Mrs B,

Very comfortable, well-converted 3 bedroom house. Warm, clean and well-equipped.

Ms M,

Fabulous location, swift response when we had an issue and overall a wonderful place to stay. Clean, spacious and great kitchen!
