Perched above the sought-after village of Instow, this beautiful home commands an unrivalled position for eight guests to enjoy. Boasting picture-postcard sites across and over the village, estuary and ocean to your West, and views stretching over to Exmoor to your east, it guarantees a memorable stay. Instow itself possesses a multitude of charming beachside bistros across the plane of golden sands, whilst it also plays host to a wonderful playground for children and pets alike, particularly on those bright and early morning starts or sunsets. There is so much more to see and do close by too, including walking or cycling along the Tarka Trail, a traffic-free route which runs through the village. Catch the seasonal ferry over to Appledore (or 6 miles by road) and explore its maritime history, or maybe book some surfing lessons at nearby Westward Ho! (6 miles), which again provides plenty of fine eateries and shops to enjoy. Set across three beautifully styled floors, this exceptional retreat offers an unforgettable stay, with panoramic views that stretch in every direction and luxurious living spaces designed for comfort, indulgence, and sociable moments. The ground floor is a true haven for entertaining, featuring a stunning open-plan lounge, kitchen, and dining area, where a crackling wood burner and Smart TV create a cosy hub for gathering after a day exploring the coast. The kitchen is a cook’s dream, complete with a traditional AGA, electric oven, sleek kitchen island, and everything you need to create delicious feasts, supported by a separate utility for added convenience. The dining area is perfect for sharing long, laughter-filled meals, while the spectacular oak-beamed conservatory offers a peaceful sanctuary with its own wood burner, Smart TV, and wraparound views of the surrounding landscape. For those looking for fun, the dedicated games room, with table tennis and football, is sure to delight guests of all ages. A sleek wet room completes the ground floor. Upstairs, three elegant bedrooms await on the middle floor, one with a private en-suite, alongside a luxurious family bathroom with a striking free-standing bath. At the very top, a charming loft-style bedroom brims with character, boasting exposed beams and the most captivating views in the house. The outside space is just as impressive as the interior, offering a true escape with room to relax and unwind. A charming driveway leads to a sweeping turning circle, setting the tone for the grandeur that awaits. Vast lawns wrap around the property, creating a sense of space and seclusion, while the private hot tub invites guests to soak under the stars after a day of adventures. Enjoy al fresco dining in the dedicated seating area, ideal for summer evenings with friends and family. There is also a small pond on the lower side, offering a peaceful spot to sit with a book and take in the gentle sounds of nature.
