Property code: OC-ALBA12

A bright and inviting detached property within 300 metres of Woolacombe Beach, one of North Devon’s most popular water sports destinations. Featuring an open-plan kitchen/diner, large family room and sundeck, this dog-friendly property is ideal for large families or groups of friends, with an array of activities for all ages nearby.

Bathing in natural light that pours into its sea-facing rooms, this fresh and contemporarily furnished property features large rooms with soothing colour palettes and wooden flooring. Stream your favourite programmes in the comfortable lounge or sink into armchairs in the bay looking out to sea. A large picture window in the kitchen/diner offers similarly wonderful views, a fitting backdrop to any family or group meal prepared using local ingredients. Any children needing something to do will love the family room, complete with games like table football, while mucky pups can get their clothes back in use quickly using the handy utility room. All four bedrooms on the first floor enjoy sea or coastal views: an en-suite double bedroom; a double aspect super-king-size bedroom with a private balcony; a twin bedroom that can be converted to a super-king upon request; and a twin bedroom that includes two full-size bunk beds and can be converted to a super-king upon request. An ample family bathroom stands outside. Outside, dine alfresco on the upper decked area; catch some rays on the sundeck just below; or explore the lawned gardens encircling The Nest, a fantastic one-bedroom annexe which sits within the grounds, with 270° sea views from most vantage points.

Woolacombe Beach (300 metres) is a mecca for swimmers, surfers and paddle boarders while the village has an array of dog-friendly amenities. A section of the South West Coast Path passes through the village towards the hidden coves scattered along the coast.

Wonderful position, a property with good outside space with swings and most importantly a hot tub. Obviously mid winter stay so little time spent in garden. Us two oldies stayed in the nest which has obviously just been built, or refurbished. Was a delightful place and somewhere Id happily live. Had 5 grandkids for part of the stay and they had a fRead moreantastic time. Hide
