About this property

Set high up in a wooded valley on the North Devon coast, within a gorgeous national landscape, this incredible property is one of the most beautiful in the area and makes an ideal coastal escape for large groups of friends or family, plus two canine companions. With Devonshire’s golden coastline and rolling countryside on the doorstep, this is the perfect base for outdoor adventures. Start exploring by strolling down the steep lane to unspoilt Lee Bay (500 metres) with its small, sandy beach, excellent for swimming, rock pooling and kayaking. Alternatively, there’s a hidden path under the cliffs that brings you – at low tide – to enchanting Sandy Cove. This area is renowned for its fuchsia-lined lanes and there are many walking trails signposted from Lee Village for you to uncover. Both Woolacombe and Ilfracombe are within 3.5 miles, offering shops, places to eat and drink, and more golden beaches.

Built in the 18th century, this stunning house is set over three storeys and boasts a delightful combination of original features and modern, homely touches. It’s beautifully decorated throughout, including high-quality furnishings and some lovely antiques. Head inside after days of Devonshire adventure and kick off sandy shoes in the spacious utility room. The kitchen/diner is filled with light thanks to its floor-to-ceiling windows – you’ll want to use the telescope here to take advantage of the jaw-dropping views. This space is perfect for entertaining, with a range cooker, wine fridge and American-style fridge/freezer, and a large dining table with room for everyone to plan the next day’s adventure over dinner. Let your food settle as you step through to the lounge and find an array of comfy seating, together with a Smart TV and a wood burner for movie marathons and cosy evenings together. At the end of each day away, choose from six sumptuous bedrooms spread across all three floors. On the ground floor, choose from a welcoming twin room with an en-suite bathroom, and a king-size bedroom which is served by the ground-floor family shower room. Up on the first floor, find two super-king-size bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms, and an inviting twin room. On the second and final floor awaits a scenic king-size bedroom, sitting under the sloping eaves of the house and boasting a large bathroom room.

Step outside and marvel at the incredible views of the ocean and verdant cliffs. Here, a spacious and split-level garden surrounds the property, boasting lawned areas with low stone walls and illuminated steps. At the start and end of each day, watch the sun rise and set from the beautiful patio space, where a long dining table and charcoal BBQ offer all you need for al fresco meals. Ample private parking is also available.
