Situation & Amenities - Croyde and its neighbouring North Devon surfing beaches are the nearest in the South West to London, the South East and the Midlands, and only about 45 miles from the M5. The village lies on the South West Coast Path near to Baggy Point, which is owned by the National Trust. It also lies within the North Devon coastal area of outstanding natural beauty. Croyde has become internationally renowned for its superb surfing beach, which has hosted numerous top-ranking surfing competitions. The village is also one of the West Country's most popular areas in which to live or holiday, consistently featured in the National Press and holiday/property programmes. The village offers an eclectic mix of picture postcard cottages nestling next to contemporary homes, as well as a good range of local shopping facilities and amenities. The property is ideally situated to explore the nearby beaches and coastline of Ilfracombe, Lee, Putsborough, Saunton (also with Championship golf course), Woolacombe and Exmoor with its rocky coastline. The nearby larger village of Braunton provides a wide range of local amenities which include post office, banking facilities, health centre, primary and secondary schooling, pubs, restaurants, library and a good range of shops. North Devon's regional centre of Barnstaple is about 10 miles away and houses the area's main business, commercial, entertainment and shopping venues. The North Devon Link Road (A361) can be accessed at Barnstaple and provides a link to the M5 at Jct.27, where Tiverton Parkway has a regular mainline service to London Paddington in just over 2 hours. The nearest international airports are at Bristol and Exeter.
Description - A superb modern detached residence, which presents part rendered and part timber clad elevations (with a glass framed balcony at first floor level), double glazed doors and windows beneath a slate roof. The property was built in 2013 and the current owners operate the house as a lucrative holiday let (further details of income are available upon request from the Agents). The property complies with all current legislation, having a fire detection system recently installed throughout the property. The accommodation is bright, spacious, well presented and versatile. This would be an ideal space for a growing family, dual occupancy living, or holiday accommodation etc.
Planning permission was granted in 2018 under Planning Reference 64241, for conversion of the roof space to create a sixth bedroom with en-suite, from which the sea views would be even more spectacular, as well as a single storey side and rear extension for an additional reception room. Externally there is ample additional parking, 7kW EV charger, and level gardens, which have been landscaped to follow the sun, and also with ease of maintenance and leisure in mind. An internal inspection is strongly recommended.
