The comfortable living room welcomes you with oak floors, an original inglenook fireplace now home to a Smart TV, and patio doors opening onto the rambling cottage garden.
Heading outside, the pretty mature garden wraps around the cottage. Its established trees and shrubs creating a wonderfully wild feel, whilst the large lawn invites outdoor games and picnicking. A sheltered patio near the house features a long wooden table, perfect for al fresco summer dining. Back inside, the four bedrooms provide flexible accommodation: the ground floor twin room (convertible to super-king on request), two doubles upstairs (one overlooking the garden), and a further twin room also convertible to super-king. A ground floor shower room with washing machine and upstairs family bathroom with bath serve the bedrooms, with a separate WC on the first floor. The back porch houses a tumble dryer and offers useful storage for boots and boards.
Picture lazy mornings with coffee in the garden, birdsong drifting through the rambling creepers overhead. Spend sun-filled days on Croyde's horseshoe bay, just 800 metres away, where gentle waves perfect for learning to surf roll onto golden sand.
