This impressive five-bedroom detached home dating back to the 1860s is situated just outside the picturesque and popular village of Croyde yet still within walking distance the beach with its large sandy cove is a magnet for families and surfers alike. With a cosy wood burner and plenty of socialising space both inside and out, all ten guests can enjoy a holiday like no other on the North Devon coast.
The approach to the house from the driveway is up a few steps. An attractive glass and wood vestibule to the side of the house has a beautiful, tiled floor whilst a fabulous wet room is at the rear of the vestibule, ideal for rinsing away the sand under the showers when you have just come back from the beach. The living area benefits from a wood burner set in a part exposed stone and brick alcove with a slate hearth. The dining table offers seating for ten, great for getting together to discuss plans for the next day's activities over an evening meal and a glass of wine. The triple-aspect kitchen space has been thoughtfully designed with granite worktops, contemporary white units and stone tile flooring. French doors open out onto the split-level patio terrace complete with an outdoor table, perfect for al fresco eating. A series of terrace lawns landscape the hill (so take care with young children on the slopes). A separate, smaller second living room/snug with a two-seater sofa offers a quiet retreat for reading should you wish. One of the superb bedrooms (a super-king-size zip-and-link) is located downstairs across the hall from the snug. Upstairs, there are a further four bedrooms all with beautiful wooden flooring: two en-suite king-size rooms, a zip-and-link twin (can be super-king-size upon request) and a single with an additional single pull-out bed. A high-quality bathroom with a free-standing slipper bath and a separate large shower serves the other bedrooms.
There is now an EV charger located in the right side garage which requires a Type 2 cable
