12 Nautilus

About this property

12 Nautilus is a stylish, seafront, first floor apartment in Westward Ho, Devon, offering two designated gated parking spots, sea views from the balcony, and the beach just across the road, making it an easy choice for a seaside escape where everything is close at hand. The reverse-level design places the open-plan living space on the second floor, where the kitchen, dining and sitting areas, form a sociable setting for holiday living. Meals come together easily, whether it’s breakfast before heading out or supper enjoyed after a day outdoors, while the Smart TV provides relaxed evening entertainment. Step onto the balcony to take in the coastal outlook, a natural pause between beach visits.

Downstairs, the king-size bedroom features an en-suite with a bath and shower over, while the twin bedroom offers flexible sleeping arrangements, supported by a separate shower room with a walk-in shower. Westward Ho itself centres around its expansive sandy beach, popular for swimming, paddleboarding, and long shoreline walks. The South West Coast Path runs nearby, offering scenic routes towards Abbotsham Cliffs and along the rugged coastline. Within the town, cafés, casual eateries, and traditional seaside favourites line the promenade. A short drive leads to Appledore, known for its narrow streets, small galleries, and working quay, while Bideford offers riverside walks along the Torridge, independent shops, and historic crossings over Bideford Bridge.

Instow provides a contrasting coastal feel, with an estuary beach, gentle walks, and waterside dining. After exploring North Devon’s coast and characterful towns, return to 12 Nautilus to round off the day by the sea.

Dominated by 2 miles of spectacular coastline, Westward Ho!, made famous in Charles Kingsley's novel of the same name, proudly retains the prestigious Blue Flag award year upon year. Its golden sandy beach, backed by a unique pebble ridge, attracts visitors from all over the country and offers fantastic bathing and watersports activities. Just beyond the pebble ridge lies Northam Burrows Country Park, home to England's oldest golf course. The South West Coastal path and Tarka Trails pass closely by providing magnificent walks, whilst the Big Sheep Adventure Park and bustling market town of Bideford, with its renowned Atlantic Shopping Centre, lovely quayside and medieval bridge is within 3 miles. The secluded fishing village of Clovelly is just 8 miles away and boasts quaint cobbled streets, littered with many art shops, tea rooms and craft centres. The North Devon coast boasts numerous beautiful beaches, many within easy reach, including those found at Instow, Saunton Sands, Croyde, Woolacombe and Bude. An area of breathtaking beauty, with plenty to see and do for all the family.
