Bring together your nearest and dearest for a holiday to remember in this luxurious, family home in Instow, on the North Devon coast. Welcoming eight humans and two woofers, the inviting, open-plan layout and choice of outdoor areas provide plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax. The sandy, paw-friendly beach is just 0.5 miles from the property, and you’ll find a good choice of pubs and eateries within the village.
The detached coastal retreat sits in a quiet cul-de-sac and has a reverse-level layout to really make the most of the fabulous views. Inside, leave coats and dog leads in the hallway, before heading upstairs to the bright, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Decorated in a contemporary style, this sociable space features a vaulted ceiling with skylights and a striking media wall housing the Smart TV and a gorgeous ‘living flame’ electric fire. Spend time here, relaxing on the sofas with Rover and Fido curled at your feet, as you watch a film or read a book. The sleek kitchen area has everything needed to cater for the group, and you can gather at the stylish dining table for memorable mealtimes together or enjoy informal dining at the breakfast bar. Bi-fold doors lead from the living area out onto a decked balcony with seating. Heading back downstairs, you’ll find four beautiful bedrooms, two of which have en-suite facilities. There’s also a family bathroom with a free-standing bath on this level. Accessed via a half landing off the main staircase, a decked bridge leads to the higher-level garden, which features a patio area for al fresco dining and a lawn where the pups can frolic. The games room is also accessed from here. External metal steps take you from the decked bridge to the lower courtyard, where you’ll discover additional outdoor seating and a luxurious hot tub – the perfect place to unwind after a long dog walk. The outdoor space has a shower, which is very handy for washing off sandy toes and paws after a trip to the beach. Private parking is available for four cars.
Enjoy a stroll along Instow Beach with your four-pawed pals, or perhaps join the traffic-free Tarka Trail for a scenic jaunt beside the river. In summer months, you and your waggy-tailed companions can hop on the passenger ferry across to the pretty fishing village of Appledore and potter amongst its cobbled streets and colourful cottages. The bustling market town of Bideford is 4.5 miles away and nearby woof-welcoming attractions include Hartland Abbey and Gardens, The Milky Way Adventure Park, and Clovelly (all within 15 miles).
