  • Delightful 18th-century cottage set in a quiet village near North Devon’s best beaches and towns

  • Perfectly located for discovering local walking trails, golden beaches, and North Devon attractions
Property code: OC-R29627

This characterful, 18th-century cottage nestles in the centre of a peaceful village near North Devon’s golden coastline. With the local shop and pub at your feet, you’re never far from fresh ingredients for cooking, and local fare for nights away from the kitchen. Walkers will love the many trails leading away from the village and towards the coast where the famous South West Coast Path (6 miles) beckons scenic strolls along the cliffs. For a traditional day on the beach, head to the surf village of Woolacombe (6 miles) where a 3-mile stretch of golden sand presents the perfect opportunity for water sports and family fun. Woolacombe also offers a charming selection of fish and chip takeaways, cafes and shops. Another sun-soaked spot to visit is the pretty Victorian town of Ilfracombe (4 miles) where a bustling harbour offers day trips to the magical Lundy Island in the Bristol Channel.

Step into this wonderful three-bedroom property and notice the original cottage features like exposed wooden beams that contrast well with modern comforts like crisp decor and home entertainment. After days of coastal adventure, retreat to the chic lounge where sumptuous sofas are set around a wall-mounted Smart TV and a roaring wood burner – perfect for cosy movie nights together. When stomachs start to rumble, follow a couple of steps into the open-plan kitchen/diner where modern appliances offer everything you need to whip up a memorable holiday feast, to be enjoyed at the chic dining table with bench seating inside, or alfresco-style out on the patio. When day turns to night, head upstairs and choose from three welcoming bedrooms, starting with the king-size room with its own en-suite shower room. Completing the interior and served by the well-equipped family bathroom with bath and walk-in shower, choose from a double bedroom and a cosy twin.

Outside, relax in the sun-soaked, enclosed garden where a charcoal BBQ and a picnic table invite al fresco breakfasts and evening meals together.
