Cottage in North Devon

About this property

Handsome period cottage situated in the heart of the attractive fishing village of Appledore, located on the estuary of the Rivers Taw and Torridge in North Devon.

This property enjoys a lovely location on one of Appledore s pretty, narrow streets, just a short walk from the village s attractive quay where visitors can watch the fishing boats returning with the day s catch. Unsurprisingly, the speciality of many of the village eateries is the local fresh seafood, and those who don t want to cook whilst away, will be able to choose from a range of pubs and restaurants. The West Country is known for its beaches, and there are two within very easy reach of Appledore, one in the neighbouring village of Instow, which is just a short ferry ride across the estuary and another, much larger beach, just a two mile drive away in Westward Ho! The front door of this double fronted property opens directly into the open plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where an imposing brick fireplace with warming wood burner effect gas fire creates an attractive focal point. There is also a TV/DVD here, perfect for cosying up in the evenings after a busy day of sightseeing. A folding table sits in a window overlooking the street, and provides a great place for romantic meals or a long, lazy brunch. The kitchen area, situated at the other end of the room, is equipped with an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, and washing machine. The property s bathroom with a shower over bath is also located on the ground floor of the cottage (please note this bathroom does not contain a WC). Steep, open tread stairs lead from the living area up to the bedroom on the first floor, a stylish double room, with an attractive exposed brick wall, and plenty of storage space provided in a wardrobe and chest of drawers. There is a convenient WC on the first floor, so there is no need to navigate the steep stairs to the bathroom in the middle of the night. As is usual in the village, there is no parking attached to the cottage, but there are public car parks available close by. Need to know: 1 double bedroom. 1 ground floor bathroom with shower over bath (without WC). WC is located upstairs. Please note, the property contains a steep open tread staircase.
