Woody Bay, BARNSTAPLE
Property Summary
Full Details
THE LONG VIEW
As you enter the property from the covered terrace at the front there is a charming entrance hall for dashing off those coats and boots and stashing away those brollies.
As you pass into the open plan living dining space it is impossible for your eye not to be drawn to the very special views, to the front over the woodland, to the sea and the horizon beyond. The views are spectacular at anytime of the year and in any weather.
On a clear day you will be able to see the details of the Welsh coast extending away on the other side of the Bristol Channel. From this elevated position you can both watch the birdlife in the trees and monitor the passing ships as they cross your view, splendidly framed the natural contours of the coastal woodland and cliffs.
THE HEART OF THE HOME
The living dining space is large and light with high ceilings and large windows to the front and side taking in all the beautiful vistas. The windows have high quality fitted slatted blinds which fold all the way back but also close fully too, so either way, you can let in the light or cosy up in relative darkness. The space is ideal for entertaining with a large dining area and a spacious lounge area which will take a large sofa suite if needed.
Satisfy your cravings in this beautifully fitted, quality kitchen with glossy cream cabinetry and solid wood work surfaces which somehow echo perfectly with the woodland views that meet you through the large windows. Warm your soul as you whip up your finest creations on the fitted ceramic hob whilst you keep a watchful eye on your baking in the fitted eye level oven and microwave.
REST & RECUPERATE
The two very well proportioned bedrooms sit to one side of the property and both are spacious yet cosy, with the convenience en-suite shower rooms for both.
Awake to the stunning sea views through the large window in the front bedroom, which are visible from the bed, as you lazy away your Sunday mornings. This elegantly decorated room has built in wardrobes and ample space for freestanding furniture. Just a few steps and you are in the en-suite shower room where you can pamper yourself or revitalise in the double shower after a long days adventuring.
The spacious twin room at the rear has quality built in storage and is secluded with views over the woodland terrace to the rear. The en-suite shower room is a peaceful space to retreat to for some much needed ‘me’ time.
.
The very useful and convenient utility room with WC is a perfectly practical space that every home must have. The oil-fired boiler is tucked away out of sight and there is work space with a fitted sink and space for a washing machine/washer dryer.
PEACEFUL ADVENTURE
Woody Bay offers a world of peaceful enchantment and exhilarating adventure on your doorstep. Set within the Exmoor National Park and surrounded by protected National Trust parkland and coastline the choice is yours, peace or adventure, or both.
The property sits on the old Victorian carriageway and is close to the South West Coastal path, so by car or foot you can access all that this location has to offer. The rocky 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 set with the stunning backdrop of the sea and the Exmoor countryside.
.
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 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.
