This attractive stone barn conversion sits amidst beautiful rural countryside but is also close to the coast. A popular local inn with great food and a beer garden is 1 mile away in Abbotsham, and the seaside resort of Westward Ho! with its shops, cafes and sandy beach is just over 1 mile away. Return to your cottage to laze in the dual-aspect living room or the pleasant courtyard garden.
This handsome cottage has been sympathetically renovated to create a welcoming holiday home with modern comforts whilst retaining many of the original features of the building. A spacious hallway has a lovely flagstone floor and gives way to a handy ground-floor WC. There’s one bedroom on this level too, an en-suite double with a TV. The large kitchen/diner is well equipped and leads out through French doors to a private courtyard with old stone walls. Garden furniture and a BBQ make this a lovely spot to eat al fresco. Access to the adjoining meadow is often available but it is dependent on seasonal usage. Finishing the ground floor is a utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer. The first-floor lounge has exposed beams, a TV and fabulous views over the surrounding countryside. There are three bedrooms on this floor as well: an en-suite double with a TV, a twin and a bunk room. A family bathroom serves these rooms.
This part of the county has been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and there are many wonderful walks including the long-distance South West Coast Path which passes nearby. A public footpath from the farm leads to Abbotsham Cliffs where you can enjoy spectacular views over the Atlantic Ocean. The pretty fishing village of Appledore with its narrow winding lanes and historic quayside is 3.5 miles away, and there is a links golf course (2.5 miles) and an excellent outdoor activities centre (2 miles) within a short drive. The port town of Bideford is 3.5 miles away where visitors can stock up on holiday necessities. Local attractions including The Big Sheep (1.5 miles), The Milky Way (8.5 miles) and RHS Rosemoor (11 miles) are all close to hand.
