Marine Parade, Instow, Bideford, Devon, EX39

An immaculately renovated four/five-bedroom coastal home in Instow with driveway parking, beautifully positioned within one of North Devon’s most sought-after postcodes. Currently operating as a highly successful holiday let, this exquisite property combines refined contemporary living with excellent income potential, making it a compelling opportunity for both lifestyle and investment buyers alike.

The ground floor has been thoughtfully configured to create a superb open-plan living space, ideal for modern family life and entertaining. A sleek, contemporary kitchen flows effortlessly into the dining and sitting areas, forming a sociable heart to the home where natural light pours in and French doors encourage an easy connection with the outside. It is a space equally suited to relaxed evenings in as it is to hosting family and friends.

To the front, a separate and highly versatile reception room provides valuable flexibility – currently used as a playroom but equally well-suited as a fifth bedroom, guest suite, snug or home office. Overlooking the front elevation, it offers an adaptable space to suit a range of needs.

On the first floor, four generously proportioned bedrooms provide stylish and comfortable accommodation, each finished with a clean, contemporary décor. The two largest bedrooms sit to the front of the house and enjoy elevated views stretching towards the river, creating a wonderfully uplifting backdrop to wake up to. The principal bedroom further benefits from a well-appointed en-suite shower room, adding to the sense of luxury.

A modern family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, complete with WC, wash hand basin and bath with shower over, ensuring practicality for guests and family alike.

Outside, the property offers driveway parking and two distinct alfresco areas. To the rear lies a private courtyard garden, providing a peaceful, low-maintenance space for morning coffee or a quiet read. To the front, a superb sun terrace extends directly from the lounge via bi-folding doors, effectively becoming an additional outdoor room in the warmer months. Finished with composite decking and offering ample space for a generous dining table and chairs, this elevated terrace is enhanced further by a fitted awning, allowing for year-round enjoyment and creating the perfect setting for long lunches, evening drinks or simply unwinding after a day on the beach.

Whether you are seeking a full-time coastal residence, an elegant second home or a turnkey holiday let with an established track record, this stunning home delivers on every level. With local amenities, scenic walks and the coastline just moments away, this is a home that encapsulates the very best of North Devon’s relaxed yet sophisticated coastal lifestyle.
