Barnstaple

An ideal home, holiday home or holiday investment! Nestled into the beautiful National Trust woodland within Exmoor National Park and facing out over the glinting blue of the Bristol channel, this property has glorious sea and coastal views across the channel to the Welsh coast. No Chain.

NURTURING NATURE

Nestled splendidly within the protected coastal Exmoor woodland, surrounded by tall trees, babbling streams and tumbling waterfalls, this property is surrounded by nature.

With very close access to the South West Coast Path and Woody Bay itself, it’s literally just a short walk to your next adventure.

The tranquil woodland gives way to stunning vistas of the coast, sea and horizon beyond, with views that stretch right across the Bristol Channel which, on a clear day, reach right across to the Welsh Coast.

The property sits on the old Victorian carriageway so by car or foot you can access all that this location has to offer.

The rocky ‘Woody Bay’ is a short walk away where you can enjoy the relative isolation of the cove and explore the sea shore with the old Victorian bathing pools and remnants of the old Victorian pier still visible, particularly at low tide.

Explore the coastline on the coastal path with its meandering route through both woodland and moor, all with the stunning backdrop of the sea and the Exmoor countryside.

From your paved patio at the front of the property enjoy the stunning and peaceful setting all year round. There is a store room allowing storage of outdoor furniture, barbecues and outdoor fireplaces, so you can enjoy the warm summer evenings and sit snuggled under the stars in the Autumn and Winter months.

Exmoor is renowned as a perfect setting for star gazing with very low light pollution levels.

A SOCIAL SPACE

As you enter the property there is an entrance hall ideal for dashing off those boots and coats storing them in the adjacent Utility room. The Utility space includes everything you need with space to hang coats and store footwear, worktops and space for appliances. The oil fired boiler is also tucked out of the way here.

An inner door opens to expose the light and bright open plan Living and Dining space. Enjoy far reaching views from the large bay window where the woodland drops away to expose the turquoise blues of the sea as it runs away to the horizon, watched over by the big sky above.

This is the perfect nook for your dining space to enjoy a meal with friends and family with the most amazing backdrop that nature provides, free of charge! The Living space is large and flexible and could cater for a number of furniture configurations. High ceilings and big windows contribute to a sense of space and light throughout the property.

Just off the open plan living and dining room is an enclosed but beautifully re-fitted kitchen with white quartz worktop backed by gorgeous Morrocan handmade Zellige tiles which glisten under the soft light of the wall mounted spotlights.

The quality fittings continue with the inset Butler style sink with brass tap with ample storage in the fitted base units with knurled brass handles, hand painted doors and stylish oak shelving.

Prepare a sumptuous meal with the integrated ceramic hob and electric oven and relax knowing the dishes can go straight into the integrated dishwasher afterwards.

SWEET SLUMBER

After a busy day of adventuring you will rest well in the two very well proportioned bedrooms, both of which have en-suites.

The main bedroom to the front has stunning views from the large bay window overlooking the sea and woodland canopy as it drops away.

It has its own private, stylishly fitted, en-suite bathroom so you can pamper yourself and relax to your hearts content. The rear double bedroom, currently set out with two twin beds, is spacious and yet cosy with it’s own private en-suite shower room.

OUT AND ABOUT

The peaceful nook upon which the charming Victorian building sits is surrounded by a graceful woodland with a gentle stream trickling its way through the landscaped gardens as you approach the property. There is private off road parking and a store area concealing the oil tank, with a paved path and steps to the private entrance. There is also a narrow, paved yard to the rear of the property provides another outside space and light from the rear.

The renowned Hunters Inn, a Victorian/Exmoor gem, is just a few miles away, the perfect destination for Sunday lunch or a traditional Devon cream tea. Or you can travel further afield and explore Lynton and Lynmouth, the Victorian harbour resort of Ilfracombe - home to ‘Verity’, head up onto the moor for a guided nature trail or do a spot of shopping in the regional centre of Barnstaple.

For those serious thrill seekers there are a wealth of activities to attract you, from fishing in the river Heddon, surfing on some of the UK’s best beaches, horse riding, paddle boarding, Coasteering, rock climbing and much, much more.
