This delightful and characterful fisherman’s cottage is nestled in one of the oldest streets of the picturesque fishing village of Appledore. Surrounded by colour washed cottages and with no vehicular access, this part of the village has great charm with character pubs serving excellent food, art galleries, restaurants, chandlers and interesting shops all within the surrounding narrow lanes.

Less than a hundred yards from the waterfront, the cottage is furnished in a bright, contemporary style whilst retaining the original character of this former fisherman's home. Deceptively spacious and laid out over three floors, you can see Instow beach from the top-floor bedroom. Ideal for enjoying holidays with family and friends the cottage, offers an attractive and cosy beamed lounge with a wood burner in a stone fireplace for comfort in the cooler seasons. A separate dining room with ample space for relaxed dining.

For relaxation and al fresco dining, the cottage also offers a fully enclosed walled patio with garden furniture.

Property is in a good location, generally acceptable standard, but the bathroom needs updating. Broken bath panel and disgusting mould around the shower screen. Photos can be provided.

Very tidy and clean and well presented.

We stayed for a week in April and were very pleased with the property. It was immaculate and had everything we needed. Even a packet of biscuits, milk and tea/coffee things on arrival which was very welcome. A beautiful property in a great location. We would thoroughly recommend it.
