Set in a rural location close to Barnstaple is this superb property, boasting so much to see and do nearby. Visit coastal villages and towns like Braunton, Croyde, Woolacombe, Lynmouth, Lynton, Westward Ho! and Ilfracombe, all of which are within a short drive. Alternatively, you could make the journey on MS Oldenburg to beautiful Lundy Island. The National Trust property Arlington Court is just 6 miles away.

The main entrance into this beautifully designed property is on the ground floor. A large glass door leads in from the patio to the kitchen/diner, which features an impressive vaulted ceiling and high beams. Equipped with an electric oven and induction hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer and Nespresso coffee machine, it has everything you need to cater for the family. A cupboard in the hallway houses the washer/dryer. Located on the first floor is the impressive lounge with a full-height feature window allowing fine views across the meadowland, plus a Smart TV/DVD and a contemporary wood burner for cosy family film nights. Bi-fold doors open out onto the sunny patio. The master super-king-size bedroom boasts plenty of storage and a door leading out to a terrace with seating, along with a wet room with a shower and WC directly adjacent. From the corner of the kitchen, a solid wood staircase leads down to the lower-ground floor, where you will find two bedrooms: a comfortable double, and a king-size zip-and-link (which can be made into a 2'6'' twin on request). Both bedrooms are served by a separate contemporary bathroom with a shower over bath and WC.

Heading outside from the ground floor, you'll find an attractive patio complete with a gas BBQ and circular garden table for six. There is an outside shower with hot water - handy for rinsing down wetsuits or muddy paws after a day of exploring. In addition, outside the master bedroom is a separate terrace. The lower garden/driveway is enclosed by wooden fencing and two five-bar gates, the second of these gives direct access to 12 acres of meadowland with a stream running through, occasionally used by the owner’s sheep. There is parking for two cars on the driveway.
