House In Barnstaple, North Devon

Barnstaple, Devon

2

The charming watchtower located high on a hill above the River Taw offers a picturesque retreat for two, situated less than a mile from the bustling market town of Barnstaple in Devon, South West England. Guests can easily explore the town's vibrant array of pubs, shops, restaurants, a cinema, and a theatre. The property is also conveniently close to the stunning sandy beaches of Westward Ho!, Saunton, and Croyde, which are renowned for their excellent surfing conditions, making it an ideal location for watersport enthusiasts. For a memorable day trip, visitors can take a ferry to Lundy Island from nearby Bideford or enjoy scenic evening walks through the Braunton or Northam Burrows, where breathtaking sunsets can be admired when the weather permits.

Upon entering the watchtower, guests are welcomed into an open-plan accommodation that is thoughtfully designed for those who prefer not to cook during their stay. The ground floor features a well-equipped kitchen/diner complete with an electric oven, microwave, and fridge, alongside a convenient shower room with a WC. This layout provides a comfortable and functional space for guests to relax and enjoy their time together without the hassle of extensive meal preparation.

Ascending the stairs to the first floor reveals a beautifully decorated open-plan lounge area that features a cozy double bed and a woodburner effect fire, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The Smart TV adds a modern touch, while large windows offer stunning views across the river, allowing guests to fully appreciate the natural beauty surrounding them. This space serves as a perfect retreat for unwinding after a day of exploration or enjoying a quiet evening indoors.

Outside, the property boasts a vast enclosed shared lawn garden, complete with seating and a BBQ area, ideal for al fresco dining and relaxation. On sunny evenings, guests can unwind outdoors, soaking in the tranquil ambiance and watching the sun dip below the horizon over the river. Additionally, the watchtower provides parking for two cars, ensuring convenience for guests traveling by vehicle. This delightful accommodation promises a unique and memorable getaway in a stunning Devonshire setting.
