The Old Coach House

About this property

The Old Coach House is a grand detached cottage nestled in the beautiful Braunton village, found in one of North Devon's Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This six bed property is perfect for a large family group who are looking for a base to gather and enjoy a big catch-up in a beautifully scenic area. Rustle up a mouth-watering brunch buffet in the well-equipped breakfast kitchen, a spacious room which holds two electric ovens, a variety of hobs, coffee maker, dining seating, and even a sofa and wall-mounted TV for those taking a break from cooking. Patio doors from the kitchen take you to a gorgeous outdoor area with picnic style seating and games room with table football and darts. Settle down for a family film night in the sitting room as the woodburning stove crackles on a winter's night. There's also direct access to a separate outdoor decking area, where the adults can unwind in the relaxing sunken hot tub as they raise a glass of Prosecco. The dining room has space for your entire group, a delightful opportunity for everyone to sit around and enjoy a takeaway on the large dining table, a room ideal for laughs, chatter and memories. No need to worry about the early morning shower queue, as nearly every bedroom in this dwelling benefits from an en-suite shower, with one lucky room containing a bath. Choose between five luxurious super-king-size bedrooms which can be made into twin if needed, and a homely king-size room. The guests on the ground-floor room will have free rein of the downstairs stylish shower room, decorated with stunning pink-tile walling.
