Description
2 Old Coastguards is a three-storey Victorian coastal home with history, sea views and a position that makes Croyde living feel easy.
Forming part of the historic Old Coastguards building, the property has a genuine connection to the village’s maritime past. For more than 100 years this building has stood close to the bay, originally associated with the coastguard families who lived here and kept watch over the sea, monitoring ships and safeguarding this dramatic stretch of the North Devon coastline.
That history gives the home something more interesting than a standard beachside property. It has character. It has a story. It feels rooted in Croyde.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors, which gives the property a surprising sense of space and flexibility. There are three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open-plan kitchen and dining room, a separate living room, and a useful utility room with WC. The layout works extremely well for guests and holiday use, but this has also been a much-loved family home for many years, so its appeal is broader than investment alone.
Outside, the property has the space buyers often struggle to find in Croyde. To the front is a private garden with lawn and a decked seating area, ideal for sitting out after the beach or enjoying the coastal setting. To the rear is a courtyard garden, while the garage and driveway parking for multiple vehicles are a real practical advantage, particularly in a village where parking is always in demand.
The position is one of the strongest parts of the story. The home sits in a quiet private location, away from the busiest parts of the village, yet remains close to everything people come to Croyde for. The beach is around a 10-minute walk away, while the village centre, with its pubs, cafés, shops and relaxed surf culture, is also within an easy 10-minute stroll.
2 Old Coastguards is currently run as a successful holiday let and can be offered as a turn-key opportunity, subject to separate negotiation. For buyers seeking an established coastal investment, that will be a clear attraction. For others, it could work just as naturally as a full-time home, second home or family retreat by the sea.
This is a home with proper Croyde character. Historic, practical, quietly positioned and close to the beach, with the flexibility to suit different buyers and different stages of life.
Croyde remains one of North Devon’s most sought-after coastal villages, known for its sandy bay, surf, relaxed village atmosphere and access to some of the finest coastline in the region. It is a place that appeals as much to full-time residents as it does to those looking for a coastal retreat, with the beach, village centre, pubs, cafés and everyday amenities all forming part of its appeal.
Nearby Saunton Sands, with its long beach and Championship Golf Course, adds another strong lifestyle draw, while Braunton provides a wider range of shops, services, schooling and facilities. Beyond the village, North Devon offers the kind of landscape that continues to pull people west, with open coastline, beaches, footpaths, wooded valleys and Exmoor all within easy reach.
There is a slower, more grounded rhythm to this part of the world. Days tend to revolve around the beach, the weather, the tide, the coast path and time outdoors. For many buyers, that is the real draw. Croyde offers a home by the sea, but also a different pace of life, with space, fresh air and a strong connection to coast and community.
Agents Notes:
The property is currently business rated due to its use as a holiday let and is therefore not presently subject to standard council tax. We understand the previous council tax band was Band C. Buyers should make their own enquiries with the local authority regarding the future rating or council tax position, depending on their intended use.
