About this property

This stunning coastal home offers reverse living to showcase the superb views and is just 0.7 miles from Instow’s sandy beach. Unwind and recharge in this exceptional setting close to a variety of restaurants, as well as a wonderful deli and tearoom, all a level walk along the seafront. Take a stroll, watch the sunset or take the passenger ferry (which runs in summer) across to Appledore with its quaint quay and narrow drangs. Walk or cycle along the Tarka Trail which runs through the village, or book surfing lessons at Westward Ho! (5 miles). Family attractions nearby include The Big Sheep (5 miles) and The Milky Way (12 miles), both of which are great rainy-day activities. Visit the privately owned Clovelly (15 miles) with its steep cobbled streets or explore the gardens at RHS Rosemoor (12 miles) before heading home to this incredible property with high-end features and mesmerising panoramic views.

This impressive, modern seaside house offers a warm welcome and its convenient location close to the beach makes it an ideal choice for families. Stepping into the hallway, there is ample space to store coats, shoes, and boots. The sleeping accommodation is along the ground floor where there are four bedrooms, two king-size rooms, both with en-suite shower rooms with WCs (one of which has a door leading out to the lower courtyard area), and two zip-and-link twin rooms (which can be made into super kings on request at the time of booking). The family bathroom completes the ground floor accommodation and has a freestanding bath, separate shower and WC. Head up the stairs, where a half landing offers access to the rear garden. Prepare to be wowed by the fabulous open plan lounge/kitchen/diner, this impressive space features statement light fittings, a stylish feature media wall with a large Smart TV, and a wide, electric, living flame log fire below. Natural light floods through the large Bi-folding doors which beckon you onto the decked balcony area featuring space-saving seating. Here you can enjoy views out across Instow and the estuary beyond, or why not use the telescope? The spacious lounge area has a selection of comfortable sofas and chairs and flowing through the space, you’ll find the large dining table ready to host memorable mealtimes, and the fully equipped kitchen which has everything you could need. An island unit incorporates a breakfast bar and stools for more informal dining and is a great social space while cooking.

Head outside via the doors on the half landing which lead across a decked bridge to access the higher-level lawn area and patio with a purpose-built summer house. Here you will find a games table and bar area, as well as towelling robes for the private hot tub which offers views across Instow. There is also a swinging chair, a large sun canopy, a dining area, and a lounging corner suite, so everyone can enjoy this magnificent outside space. The metal staircase from the bridge leads down from the higher garden to a lower courtyard patio and space to dry clothes, wetsuits, etc. To the side of the property is an outside hot shower (great for sandy toes). Ample off-road parking is available for up to six cars and there is use of an electric car charging point included.
