  • Stylish, contemporary Westward Ho! holiday home with coast and countryside views
  • Glass-fronted balcony for enjoying the sea air and sunny garden for outside dining
  • Excellent location for the long, sandy beach and Northam Burrows Country Park

Property code: OC-LOOKO1

This two bedroomed apartment with sea views is on a small exclusive site between Westward Ho! and Northam Burrows Country Park with private access to the Northam Burrows which is part of the UK's first designated UNESCO Biosphere and adjoins the Royal North Devon Golf Club.

The Lookout is on a corner plot and benefits from a fully-enclosed patio and an open-plan living area on the first floor with patio doors opening out onto a balcony with sea views. The kitchen is beautifully designed to make the most of the space and is very well-equipped with everything you’ll need to rustle up a delicious evening meal to enjoy on the balcony. And the sitting area benefits from a couple of comfortable sofas arranged around the television. On the ground floor there is a family bathroom and two bedrooms – a king and a twin – both with a television and one with an en-suite shower room. All of the properties on the development have been designed to make the most of the beautiful countryside and coastal views with special care taken in both the external and internal design of every property to ensure each one slightly different.

All of the properties have private access to the Northam Burrows which boasts sand dunes, salt marsh, grassland and rocky shore and is teeming with wildlife, including rare plants, insects, birds and stunningly vivid lichen. But Westward Ho! is not just about the beach. The town has everything you need for a great family holiday, with a range of food outlets catering for all tastes (and some award-winning cakes!) and seaside shops to explore. Royal North Devon Golf Club can rightly claim to be the cradle of English Golf. Founded in 1864, it is the oldest golf course in the country and is regarded as the St Andrews of the South. The golf course is as tough as any of the UK’s more famous links layouts and has recently been placed in Golf World's "Top 100 Courses in the World" that a golfer “must play”.

The Lookout was immaculately presented. It was in a quiet area of Westward Ho! and had views across the golf course to the sea from the lounge and balcony. It was in walking distance of shops, restaurants and beach. We also enjoyed visiting Northam Burrows Country Park.
