About this property

This delightful cottage sits nearby the bustling quayside of this ancient fishing village of Appledore. Found in an elevated position off a quiet, narrow lane, this surprisingly spacious home makes for an idyllic stay. Just a short 300-metre stroll to the village centre with its maze of narrow lanes, brightly painted cottages, and quayside. A variety of cafes, pubs and restaurants in the village offer a wide range of cuisine and local seafood, and there are galleries showcasing local arts and crafts. A seasonal ferry takes passengers across the estuary to the pretty village of Instow with its sandy beach. Or visit the 2 miles of golden sands at Westward Ho! renowned for surfing (2 miles). And the pannier market town of Bideford (3 miles) is home to MS Oldenburg for day trips to Lundy Island.

Stepping into the property from the stepped pathway, you are greeted by a welcoming entrance hall before the lounge on your right, providing a comfortable space from which to relax with Smart TV and feature fireplace, comfy sofas one being a fully reclining sofa and ambient lighting makes it a cosy space. Leading on back through the hallway you reach a kitchen/diner. The kitchen space has everything you could need to cater for your stay.
