6 Bed Cottage in Bideford

About this property

This striking North Devon house perfectly combines period charm with modern luxury in a spectacular elevated setting. Enjoy sweeping views over rolling Bideford countryside, and on clear days, gaze across the sea to Lundy Island and Hartland Point. A short drive takes you to Instow, with its charming pubs and superb deli, while the renowned Westleigh Inn is less than five minutes away-perfect for a relaxed meal after exploring the area.

Outdoor adventures abound—stroll or cycle the nearby traffic-free Tarka Trail, explore the surrounding countryside, or spend a day at Instow or Westward Ho! beaches building sandcastles, surfing, or soaking up the sea air. Family-friendly attractions include The Milky Way Adventure Park, The Big Sheep, Watermouth Castle, Tapley Park, and the stunning RHS Rosemoor Gardens.

Inside, the home is as impressive as the setting. Original tiled floors and period features create character throughout, while modern comforts ensure everyone can relax in style. The large formal lounge features a bar area and Smart TV, and a cosy lounge/snug with a working fireplace offers the perfect retreat. The fully equipped kitchen includes an Instant Hot tap and an Everhot (electric-style AGA), along with an induction hob, oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, Smart TV, and dining table. The kitchen opens onto a secluded seating area, ideal for relaxing or evening drinks. A practical laundry room with washer and dryer adds convenience, and there is also a separate ground-floor WC.

The property sleeps six bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom or en-suite- a rare and luxurious feature that guarantees privacy and comfort for all guests. The ground floor has a super-king-size zip-and-link that can convert to a twin on request, with a shower room opposite. Upstairs, a twin with en-suite is accessed via a back staircase, alongside two king-size bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a super-king-size zip-and-link with en-suite shower, and another super-king-size with en-suite bathroom accessed via four steps.

The outdoor spaces are equally inviting. Expansive lawns bordered by farmland (often with grazing sheep), an orchard, play area, and garden seating create endless opportunities to relax and enjoy nature. The BBQ lodge is perfect year-round-stay warm by the fire in winter or enjoy the snug lodge on a summer evening as the sun sets. The games barn is a hit with all ages, offering table tennis, darts, pool, table football, and toys for younger children. Ample off-road parking ensures convenience for everyone.

With breathtaking views, bathrooms for every bedroom, year-round entertainment, and proximity to beaches, countryside, and attractions, this North Devon home is the ultimate getaway for families or groups seeking both adventure and relaxation. Every detail has been designed for comfort, fun, and unforgettable memories.
