4 Bedroom Cottage in Hartland

Tucked away in an unspoilt corner of North Devon, this beautiful countryside retreat enjoys a peaceful setting while within easy reach of some of the region’s most celebrated coastal destinations. Hartland Quay is just 7 miles away, offering breathtaking scenery and spectacular coastal walks, while access to the South West Coast Path at nearby Lower Elmscott (around 1 mile) opens up miles of rugged shoreline to explore. The Milky Way Adventure Park and Wake Park is only 6 miles away and packed with rides, indoor play and watersports. The charming seaside town of Bude, with its three sandy beaches, independent shops and laid-back café culture, is around 12 miles away, while the golden sands of Westward Ho! lie 15 miles away. For peaceful rambles, the open landscapes of Bursdon Moor are on your doorstep, and the picturesque fishing village of Clovelly is approximately 9 miles from the property.

Stepping inside, the retreat reveals a wonderfully spacious and thoughtfully designed interior. The front door opens into a striking south-facing open-plan living space where the kitchen, dining and lounge areas combine to create a sociable hub. Large sliding glass doors flood the room with natural light and frame far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside towards the Atlantic coast beyond. The contemporary kitchen is well equipped, while the dining area offers plenty of space for everyone to sit together. In the lounge, comfortable seating is arranged around a warming wood burner, perfect for cosy evenings in. Double doors lead from the main living area into a snug with a large TV, offering a quieter spot to unwind. A separate utility space with practical slate flooring sits just off the kitchen and leads to a rear porch, ideal for storing beach gear, coats or muddy walking boots. Upstairs, you will find two beautifully presented double bedrooms, both with en-suite facilities. The first boasts a super-king bed and lovely sea views, alongside an en-suite shower room, while the second offers a king-size bed with countryside views, an en-suite shower and a separate WC. Back on the ground floor are two further bedrooms – one with a striking king-size four-poster bed and another with twin beds – both served by a family bathroom with bath and WC.

Outside, the sense of peace and privacy continues. The property sits within a generous gated plot with ample parking and enjoys complete seclusion surrounded by mature trees and countryside. Sliding doors from the main living area lead onto an elevated deck where you can relax with a morning coffee while taking in the sweeping views. Beyond this lies an expansive garden bordered by ancient woodland, creating a tranquil setting for outdoor dining, lazy afternoons in the sunshine or simply soaking up the sounds of nature in this wonderfully unspoilt part of North Devon.
