Property code: OC-76452

Detached property situated in the semi-rural pretty village of Parkham with both village pub and butchers within walking distance and local farm shop around a 5-minute drive. You are just a short drive from all the delights North Devon has to offer and is a fantastic base for exploring the surrounding area. Bideford, with its traditional pannier market, independent shops, and range of well-regarded eateries, is a great place to enjoy a slice of authentic Devonshire life. The two-mile wide beach at Westward Ho! is just three miles away, as is the pretty village beach at Instow. A ferry runs from Instow, taking passengers across the estuary to the neighbouring fishing village of Appledore, where visitors will find several bistros and a pretty quay where they can watch the fishermen return with the day’s catch.

Enter in to the bright and airy entrance hall with armchair and space to leave your coats before exploring the rest of the property. To the right of the entrance hall one step will take you to the spacious lounge with comfy sofas, Smart TV with basic Sky package and warming woodburner, perfect for those cooler evenings. This room is flooded with light from the two patio doors leading to the garden. Located directly off from the hall is a useful storage cupboard as well as a utility area with both washing machine and tumble dryer as well as a useful door to the garden. Exploring the property further you will find the open plan kitchen/dining space where one step up leads to the well-equipped kitchen with electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. A door from the kitchen then takes you into a bright hallway with a small sofa and patio doors to the garden. Each of the properties 4 bedrooms can be accessed from here. First is the beautiful master bedroom with super-king size bed, en-suite and walk in wardrobe and small seating area. Next is a bright twin bedroom (zip-and-link which can be super-king on request), a second super-king-size (zip-and-link which can be twin on request), and a small double. Completing the accommodation is the main bathroom with shower over bath and WC.

Heading outside the large garden encircles the property offering a mix of level lawns and patio areas, with garden furniture and benches there is plenty of room for everyone to sit and enjoy the summer sun, or why not relax in your own private hot tub with a glass of wine or dine alfresco in the state of the art BBQ hut. There is a garage which has been converted into a games room with a dart board and pool table, perfect for the younger guests

A lovely cottage in a very small Devon village. The property is pretty modern and large enough for 8 people to stay in comfort. Plenty of seating in the main living room, nice dining area and a well equipped and pretty spacious kitchen. The welcome hamper a nice and very welcome surprise! Hot tub was lovely and games room was good for days when theRead more weather let us down. There's no shop in the village, except for a local butcher (which is very good BTW), but supermarkets are only a 10 min drive. Hide

Excellent accommodation but you must be prepared to drive through single track roads to get anywhere. A great pub exactly opposite, so no drink driving.

Lovely bungalow situated in a quiet village. Good quality linen and plenty of towels (plus additional ones for the hot tub). Only problem was 4 of us sharing one bathroom, an additional cloakroom would have made life easier Fairly isolated (pub directly opposite was great though!) and there is a butchers in the village but nothing else.
