A fabulous choice for a party of up to six people, this luxurious property sits right on Appledore Quay, with incredible views over the water. Stroll along the quay to find, within 200 metres, narrow streets filled with colourful cottages, an array of art galleries and a selection of charming cafes. As you wander, visit the village’s maritime museum and shipyard viewpoint, and try some of the delicious local ice cream. Take the seasonal ferry across to Instow, with its wide, sandy beach, or drive further afield to Westward Ho!, 3 miles away, ideal for swimming and surfing, or Croyde, 21 miles away, is a surfing hotspot with pubs and shops nearby. Skern Lodge Activity Centre (1 mile) offers a variety of outdoor adventure activities, including archery, climbing and kayaking. Families will love fun days out at The Big Sheep and The Milky Way Adventure Park, both within 10 miles.
The insights of a professional interior designer have ensured that this spectacular waterside property, a carefully renovated Victorian home, combines high-end luxury with easy functionality. Its gorgeous furnishings and fittings are bound to impress from the moment you arrive. Enter using the keyless smart lock and hang coats in the handy nook in the hall, then stroll into the L-shaped lounge/kitchen/diner to your right. The muted, natural tones and soft textures of this room foster an immense sense of relaxation, as you sink into the comfortable seating and forget all your worries. Spend hours enjoying the sight of boats bobbing on the water and seagulls wheeling in the sky, and when it’s time to draw the curtains, pick up a book, play some music or switch on the Smart TV, soothed by the warm glow of the wood burner in the cooler months. A range-style cooker is the centrepiece of the elegant, Shaker-style kitchen, providing the perfect opportunity for some gourmet cooking, perhaps using delicious local produce picked up on your travels. A central dining table seats everyone with ease and is illuminated by pendant lighting. Completing the ground floor is a handy separate WC, glamorously decorated with designer wallpaper and panelling. Heading up the stairs to the first floor, you will find two of the three sumptuous bedrooms, a king-size with estuary views and ample storage, and a cosy zip-and-link super-king-size (can be made into a twin on request at time of booking). Both delightfully colour-co-ordinated and styled, they share a handsome family bathroom with a statement bath, separate shower and WC. The final bedroom, a super-king-size with a vaulted ceiling, skylights and original beams, is on the top floor and features yet more extraordinary views from its picture window. This impressive space is a real sanctuary providing a wonderful sense of comfort and repose, and boasts comfortable armchairs, a desk, ample storage and a Smart TV. The icing on the cake is its luxurious, en-suite wet room/dressing room, featuring a rainfall shower, WC and underfloor heating.
From the kitchen, bi-fold doors open onto a charming small courtyard with a bistro table and chairs for al fresco drinks and dining. Parking is available in the public car park 0.1 miles from the property.
