Description

This spacious reverse-level cottage home sits in an enviable spot in the coastal village of Instow with fabulous estuary views and only a few steps from the beach, it’s the perfect sea-side getaway for a family or group of friends.

Situated on the River Torridge, the popular sandy beach at Instow is right on your doorstep. A good selection of pubs and restaurants are mere metres away as well. You can join The Tarka Trail from both ends of the village, which is perfect for walkers and cyclists and offers some lovely riverside views. Venturing further afield you can explore North Devon’s many attractions, including a range of surfing beaches at Westward Ho! (5 miles), Woolacombe, Saunton and Croyde (all within 17 miles). Alternatively, visit the large house and gardens at Tapeley Park (under 2 miles), or family theme parks such as The BIG Sheep (5 miles) or The Milky Way Adventure Park (12 miles). Several National Trust properties in the area such as Arlington Court (15 miles) are also well worth a visit. You could board the MS Oldenburg for a day trip to Lundy (Bideford Quay is 3 miles away), visit the picturesque town of Ilfracombe (18 miles) or simply relax in the evenings and enjoy village hospitality in the local pub.

On entering this reverse-level property, the hallway leads to the sleeping accommodation which consists of a king-size bedroom with a large bay window, a twin room also with a bay window, and a larger rear bedroom with a double bed and an en-suite shower room and WC. Both front bedrooms have beach and estuary views from large bay windows. A family bathroom completes this floor and has a WC and shower over the bath. A utility cupboard houses a washing machine. There is also a useful private small courtyard at the rear with a line for drying clothes and steps up to a gateway providing pedestrian access. Heading upstairs you’ll find an impressive open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with triple aspect windows affording superb beach and estuary views across to the fishing village of Appledore. The lounge area has comfortable chesterfield sofas and a large Smart TV. The dining area can seat six comfortably and the view makes dining in a real treat. The kitchen area has been well fitted and equipped with everything you need including an electric oven and induction hob, microwave, dishwasher and fridge/freezer.

Step outside into the enclosed gated front garden where you’ll find there is a picnic bench, an ideal spot from which to watch the world go by, enjoy a morning coffee or evening tipple. Roadside parking is available, time-restricted in July and August only, or you can use the pay-and-display car parks nearby.
