Just a few minutes from the centre of Croyde and steps away from a path that leads to Croyde's picturesque beach and pumping surf, this semi-detached cottage is the ideal spot to enjoy your own surfers' paradise. The interior has been decorated in a contemporary style while maintaining plenty of period features and cottage charm. The bright and breezy kitchen/diner has a beautiful exposed beam ceiling and a large dining table that can accommodate the whole group. On cooler evenings, set the fire and sink into the sofa in the delightful living room. The downstairs double bedroom is perfect for anyone who'd prefer to avoid the stairs, while it also boasts direct access to the patio and lovely garden complete with outdoor furniture. Head upstairs for a further three bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. Outside, you've got a couple of parking spaces (a real luxury in peak-season Croyde), and a central courtyard with an outdoor shower. The centre of Croyde with its pubs, restaurants, cafes and surf shops is just steps away, while the dune-backed beach is a ten-minute walk. Croyde beach is one of North Devon's most stunning stretches of sand and attracts surfers year-round thanks to its reliable waves. When the surf gets too big, or the wind too strong, you're less than a ten-minute drive from Putsborough beach, where the headline protects you from those prevalent south-westerly winds. For breathtaking coastal walks, head to the nearby National Trust headland of Baggy Point where a cliffside footpath offers spectacular views of the Atlantic and Lundy Island.
