Property Overview

Westlands is a superb property in the perfect spot for beach or walking holidays in unspoilt North Devon. This gated, five bedroom home is architecturally designed in the style of a beach house and sits just feet away from the famous Tarka Trail, which offers up to 39 miles of scenic walking and cycling along estuaries and beaches. Following the Tarka Trail in one direction leads you towards Braunton, while heading the other way takes you to the town of Barnstaple, known for its famous Pannier Market, numerous cafés, and high street shops. Just outside of Braunton, you can explore Braunton Burrows, providing a picturesque backdrop for seaside walks. Three miles away, next to the renowned links golf club, you'll find Saunton Sands, which boasts an expansive three mile sandy beach and fabulous waves, popular with families and surfers alike. Walking enthusiasts will also be spoilt for choice with extensive beach walks on the nearby South West Coast Path, which takes you across the spectacular headland to Baggy Point. Exmoor National Park is also within easy reach by car or bus. Other family attractions and nearby points of interest include Exmoor Zoo, Watermouth Castle, and the Dinosaur and Wildlife Park, as well as other coastal towns such as Combe Martin, Mortehoe, Lynton, and Lynmouth. To the south and west, you ll find Fremington Quay, Instow, Bideford, Appledore, and Clovelly. Westlands is wheelchair accessible and from the moment you enter this beautiful home, you are greeted by a spacious Travertine floored entrance hall, which leads to the generous lounge, ground floor bedroom, WC with wash hand basin, and spacious kitchen/dining areas. The bright and airy triple aspect, carpeted lounge provides modern seating with a reclining sofa set, armchairs, and a large 70" Smart TV with BT TV and Netflix, making it the perfect place to relax in style at the end of a day at the beach. Double French doors open to a luxury seating area with a south facing sunny aspect. On the other side of the hall is the spacious kitchen/diner, with seating for ten guests and a breakfast bar area. The well equipped kitchen boasts a Neff multi function electric oven and hob, a combination microwave, a fridge/freezer, and a dishwasher. The kitchen also includes a Dual Zone Ninja air fryer and food processor. This leads to a useful utility/drying room with a washing machine and clothes airers. From the hallway, there is also a ground floor super king size bedroom with zip and link beds that can be set up as twin beds upon request. Adjacent to the bedroom is a well sized WC room with a wash hand basin. Heading upstairs to the first floor, you ll find a fabulous landing with two armchairs and a telescope to enjoy breathtaking views across Braunton Burrows towards the estuary and the village of Appledore. From here, you ll discover four beautifully appointed bedrooms. The master super king size bedroom features a walk in dressing room that leads to an en suite shower room with a large walk in shower, basin vanity unit, and WC. This suite also boasts a balcony with views across the decommissioned Chivenor airfield and Braunton Burrows. An adjoining bedroom can be used as a cozy snug, left open as a further dressing room (as it adjoins the master bedroom), or simply as additional sleeping space by converting the sofa into a double bed. There are double doors from the master bedroom, making this an ideal suite for a young family. The upstairs area of this luxurious property includes two further super king size bedrooms. One of the front bedrooms has an en suite shower and WC and features a Juliet balcony to enjoy the same spectacular views as the master suite. The fourth super king size bedroom has a zip and link bed that can be set as a twin but can be joined together as a super king size bed upon request. Finally, a large contemporary bathroom with a bath, a separate large shower, a vanity unit, and a WC completes the offering inside the property.
