This modern coastal house has an enviable elevated position in the centre of pretty Appledore, with views of the estuary from several of its spacious rooms and an outdoor area perfect for the visiting doggo.
The reverse layout makes the most of the stunning views, with an open-plan living area on the first floor and bedrooms both above and below. There’s no excuse not to cook up a storm in the kitchen, with an American-style fridge/freezer, plus double oven and microwave. A door from the kitchen opens onto the patio dining area and lawned garden, making it easy to enjoy dinner al fresco if the weather allows. On colder days, there’s a dining table big enough for everyone, as well as comfortable sofas with a range of family games to get stuck into. Two sitting areas mean you can set the kids up with a film and enjoy chatting over drinks in the other, and the balcony with sea views is the perfect spot to enjoy the last of the summer sun with a glass of something cold.
Walk down the hill 500 metres to the waterfront, and browse the independent shops and cafes or take a boat trip on the river. Catch the ferry across to dog-friendly Instow Beach and climb the sand dunes or stroll along the promenade. It’s 1.5 miles to Northam Burrows, a heaven for dogs to roam, and about 3 miles to sandy Westward Ho! beach which is a popular place to learn to surf, and has some excellent rock pools to explore at low tide."
