Situated on the edge of Northam Burrows Country Park and just outside the charming fishing village of Appledore, this stunning single-storey barn conversion is the perfect getaway for family or friends. The detached barn in the owner’s grounds offers a secluded location, yet it's within walking distance of Appledore (1 mile), Westward Ho!’s golden sands and Northam beach (2 miles).

Inside, there’s a wonderful sense of space, light and harmony. The open-plan interior has been designed with loving care, allowing maximum light whilst also being comfortable and calming. It’s a space to relax, bond and allow amazing new memories to blossom. From the high-vaulted roof and elegant wood burner to the underfloor heating and industrial light shades, everything about this property is of a high quality. The stunning estuarine and ocean views tie everything together, with wonderful horizon views.

Take a day trip from Bideford (3.5 miles) to Lundy Island, 20 miles offshore; it’s a glorious haven for seabirds and wildlife. Discover the incomparable Clovelly (15 miles), with its steep and winding streets and link to a slower, simpler past. Take to the surf at Croyde (21 miles) and Woolacombe (23 miles) or learn from scratch and fall in love with this sport forever. Explore the rugged Hartland peninsular (20 miles) and find the secret Hawker’s Hut on the coast path near Morwenstow (25 miles).

What a lovely place this is. The location is ideal for getting out and about North Devon and the walks from the door over to the Burrows or Appledore are as good as it gets. It's a beautiful barn conversion, contemporary but homely. Also spotlessly clean and warm and cosy. The owners are on hand if you need them but you have all the privacy you couRead moreld want. Hopefully we will be back for another visit soon. Hide

An absolutely lovely holiday cottage! Just perfect! The location is wonderful with Appledore a 15 minute walk away and the 'Burrows' on your doorstep. The enclosed garden was nothing like we've ever had before and the small patch of artificial grass was really appreciated by Milo for his morning pee (especially as we'd seen someone request it in thRead moree quest book - lovely). Cottage is bright and spacious even for four adults. Only bumped into the owners a couple of times, they were lovely. Hide
