This peaceful and secluded property on the outskirts of Welcombe has been tastefully converted from a former barn to create a cosy cottage for two. In the midst of unspoilt open countryside on the Hartland Peninsular, the cottage is within 0.5 miles of the friendly local thatched inn. With exposed beams and vaulted ceilings, this cottage is full of character.
This stone-built property is very comfortable and makes for an idyllic countryside haven, perfect for romantics or for those searching for a retreat from the busy world. The cottage is warmed by underfloor heating and is tastefully decorated with high-quality furnishings throughout. A pretty beamed and vaulted bedroom has distant sea views, and the en-suite has a corner bath and separate walk-in shower. The open-plan lounge/diner features slate floors, bright rugs, beamed ceilings and a stable door, and there is a delightful country-style kitchen area. French doors from the lounge lead out onto a private patio with a table and chairs.
Less than a mile from the rocky beach at Welcombe Mouth, spectacular cliff footpaths stretch high above the breaking waves as they wend north towards Hartland Point and south toward Bude and beyond. There are shops, cafes, restaurants and a good surfing beach in Bude which is just 9.5 miles away. Nature lovers will really appreciate this often-overlooked corner of North Devon where wildflowers abound and deer can often be seen grazing in the fields.
