Located in the heart of Instow, one of North Devon's most sought-after coastal villages, this exceptional property enjoys an enviable position overlooking the Torridge Estuary. Sleeping up to ten guests, this is the perfect base for families and groups of friends exploring the region’s coastline and countryside together. Enjoy the short stroll down to Instow’s shoreline, where a long beach is backed by seaside pubs, restaurants, cafes and delis. A seasonal foot ferry crosses the estuary to picturesque Appledore, where more restaurants and pubs await. For a wider choice of shops and places to eat and drink, the port town of Bideford is just 3 miles away. Family days out await in Westward Ho! (4 miles), where popular attractions include its enormous sandy beach and The BIG Sheep amusement park. Closer to home, the South West Coast Path and the traffic-free Tarka Trail both pass through Instow.
Accessed via an upper-level entrance hall, this beautifully modernised home offers a spacious, reverse-level design that makes the most of the far-reaching estuary views. Step inside and be greeted by plush decor and modern fixtures that set the scene for a luxury escape. The upper level hosts four generously sized bedrooms. The two largest bedrooms both offer estuary views, balcony access and en-suite shower rooms, while two further bedrooms feature super-king-size beds; one of which has flexible zip-and-link beds that can be configured as a super-king-size or two singles. A contemporary family bathroom completes this floor. Head downstairs to find the social heart of the home, a magnificent triple-aspect lounge that combines comfortable seating with a Smart TV, a feature wood burner, a dedicated study area, and French doors leading onto the terrace. The open-plan kitchen/diner is just as impressive, soaked in natural light pouring through the bi-fold doors that open onto the terrace. The sleek kitchen features everything needed for a self-catered stay, including a breakfast bar, while the dining space is perfectly positioned for sociable mealtimes and celebrations. Completing this floor is the fifth and final bedroom, as well as a practical utility room and a separate WC.
Outside, the property continues to impress with a series of wonderful outdoor spaces designed to maximise the surrounding views. A large sun terrace with glazed balustrading provides the perfect setting for morning coffees and evening tipples overlooking the estuary. This space also features a table tennis table for some competitive fun. Multiple seating areas invite guests to follow the sun throughout the day, while to the front of the property, a private driveway provides parking for up to four cars.
