Imagine waking up to views over Instow beach, watching boats bob on their moorings and gulls swoop on the thermals. Situated right on the estuary front, this property is an idyllic family retreat boasting pride of place mere metres from the beach. Whether you are a doer, relaxer or like a bit of both, the excellent access to local facilities and fantastic local walks will leave smiles all round.

Upon entering the property, either via the secure garden pathway or the front door, one of the first places to discover is the modern open-plan kitchen/diner. Well-equipped and sporting a clean, polished design, the kitchen is at the heart of this beautiful home. Complete with glass roof over the dining area, you can spend many a happy family mealtime here. Next to capture your attention are the two lounge areas. With one enjoying views directly overlooking the estuary and the other equipped with a cosy wood burner, there is ample space for everyone. Sit outside on the decking or luxuriate inside amongst the bright, tasteful decor: the choice is yours.

Instow is famous for its scenic coastal routes and proximity to lots of beaches and attractions. Just metres from the house, the dog-friendly Instow beach is a great spot to take a stroll. Further afield, Westward Ho! beach is less than 5 miles away, as is Northam Burrows Country Park. If you enjoy cycling, then the Tarka Trail is an absolute must. Fun for all the family, The BIG Sheep, The Milky Way and Watermouth Castle are all nearby family attractions.

Lovely views, great property but need to be aware of no pavement outside so step straight into road and a few steps to get in past the bin in the way.

The cottage is light, spacious, comfortable, and very well fitted out. The kitchen-diner in particular is great for families. Great views of the estuary and Appledore from the picture windows in the front sitting room and ensuite bedroom upstairs. A lovely place to stay.
