Nuthurst

Nestled in the heart of Croyde, mere moments from the footpath that leads you to its iconic beach, you'll find Nuthurst. This dog-friendly, three-bedroom bungalow can sleep up to seven and enjoys its own private garden with countryside views to boot.

The property benefits from an open plan kitchen, dining and living room layout, making it the perfect choice for a sociable getaway with family or friends. Honey-hued floorboards and an attractive wood-burner add character to the space; just imagine curling up on one of the squishy sofas or beanbags in front of the roaring fire after a windswept out-of-season walk. Bliss! There's also a wall-mounted TV with Freeview, a great option for those holidaying with little kids.

The dining-area is just around the corner and here up to six guests can sit at the table, with its attractive mix of chairs and wooden bench. A large glass door just beyond allows access to the garden and ensures the room is flooded with natural light. From here you'll see the kitchen, which is kitted out with everything you'd need for a successful self-catering holiday including an oven, hob, washing machine and microwave. The sink overlooks the pretty garden, but why not burden the dishwasher with your washing up instead?

All three bedrooms are located on the same floor. The principal bedroom benefits from a double bed and direct garden access through sliding doors. You'll also find an additional double bedroom with garden views, and a third bedroom decked out with a wooden double bed with single bunk over it, plus a single bed that's just the right size for children.

The family bathroom is decorated in a clean and modern style with thoughtful coastal touches. Its restful neutral palette makes it an ideal spot to soak in the bath after a busy day exploring the best of north Devon. Conveniently, there's also a separate cloakroom.

Outside the property has an enclosed garden, which enjoys glimpses of the surrounding countryside. A patio area is finished off with an al fresco dining set and shade cover for those hot summer afternoons. Speaking of, there's also a coal barbecue provided for such occasions. You'll also find an outside hot shower, perfect for washing off after the beach without freezing yourself.

To the front of the bungalow there's parking for two cars, as well as an additional lawned front garden.
