Tucked away in a peaceful setting just minutes from the golden sands of Instow beach, this exceptional coastal home offers beautifully light-filled interiors, flexible accommodation, and an enchanting landscaped garden — all perfectly tailored to relaxed, refined living by the sea.
The heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining area, flooded with natural light from dual-aspect windows and a glazed door to the side. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, it features ample cupboard and drawer space, integrated fridge and dishwasher, and a dedicated space for a range cooker with an extractor above. A central island provides additional preparation space and seating, acting as a stylish centrepiece for the room. There is plenty of space for a generous dining table, making this an ideal spot to enjoy freshly prepared meals with family and friends.
The living room is a wonderfully bright and welcoming space, enhanced by a dual aspect large bay window to the front. A red brick fireplace offers a charming focal point with potential to house a wood burner. A door opens to the side garden, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. There are three double bedrooms on the ground floor, each with direct access to the beautifully maintained garden. The larger of the bedrooms is a spacious and peaceful retreat, enjoying dual-aspect windows and patio doors that fill the room with light. Another double bedroom also benefits from patio doors, while the third, a lovely room, is perfect as a child’s room or study. The modern ground floor shower room has been thoughtfully fitted with a sleek tiled enclosure, WC, and wash hand basin, and is complemented by natural light from a side window. The entrance hallway is wide and welcoming, with parquet style flooring and stairs rising to the first floor.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is an elegantly proportioned room, complete with triple fitted wardrobes and additional eaves storage. A window to the front elevation enjoys elevated views. This lovely room is served by a spacious en-suite bathroom, comprising a deep panelled bath with tiled surround, separate walk-in shower, WC, and pedestal basin — all set beneath a Velux-style roof window that enhances the light and airy feel.
Outside, the property benefits from a gravelled driveway leading to a signle garage on one side, while on the opposite side, wooden gates lead to a paved driveway offering additional off road parking. The garage itself has light and power connected, along with a mounted boiler and rear access to the garden. The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped for ease of maintenance and maximum privacy. Laid with gravel pathways and planted with mature shrubs and flowering borders, it’s a tranquil, enclosed space ideal for pets, children, or simply enjoying the morning sun with a coffee. A striking central tree adds to the garden’s charm, making this a truly special outdoor retreat.
This beautiful home blends timeless charm with modern convenience, just moments from the coast and with the rare luxury of generous outside space and stylish, versatile interiors.
