This charming coastal retreat is the perfect haven for families and friends eager to embrace the beauty of the North Devon coast. Tucked away in the timeless hamlet of Bucks Mills, this cottage offers a true escape from the hustle and bustle, with panoramic sea views and a crackling wood burner, as well as scenic walking trails and opportunities to swim just steps from your door.
Blending the cottage’s historic character with modern comforts, the spacious kitchen/diner is a delightful space for preparing meals with fresh, local ingredients. The exposed brick fireplace with a wood burner creates a cosy atmosphere, making it the ideal spot to gather for long evenings together. The lounge, featuring original ceiling beams, exposed brickwork, and warm wood flooring, is both inviting and relaxing. Large patio doors flood the room with natural light and offer views of the peaceful surroundings, seamlessly connecting the indoors with the coastal landscape. Upstairs, the cottage continues to charm with three beautifully appointed bedrooms - two doubles and one twin - each designed to be a restful retreat after a day of exploration. The family bathroom completes this beautiful coastal home. Outside, the enclosed terrace offers the ultimate setting for al fresco dining with sweeping views of the rugged coastline and the sea. It’s the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee or enjoy a sunset BBQ to the sounds of the ocean. The property includes private parking for one car, with additional on-street parking available nearby on a first-come, first-served basis.
