Homelands

This stunning coastal home, just a short stroll from gorgeous Croyde beach, is made for families or a group of friends, with open plan living, tranquil bedrooms, sea views and a garden complete with playhouse and swings - and it's dog-friendly too!

Less than five minutes' walk to the sea, Homelands lies in the pretty town of Croyde on the coast of north Devon. Spacious and open plan with a large south-facing terrace, this dog-friendly holiday home is perfect for families with little ones, boasting a playroom, playhouse, swings, games and toys to keep even the most active children entertained. There's also baby equipment, a stroller and a baby walker should you need it. With jaw-dropping views across the dunes and out to sea, it's the perfect spot for total relaxation. There's ample living space, meaning everyone can spread out, while four peaceful bedrooms offer an escape to retreat to at the end of the day.

First up, the kitchen/diner - definitely the heart of the home. With a range cooker, granite worktops, microwave, American-style fridge/freezer, dishwasher, Nespresso coffee machine and all the other equipment you'll need to rustle up family feasts, cooking here is a total breeze. In addition, a separate utility-room is home to a washing machine and tumble-drier. Next to the kitchen lies the dining-area with a table nook. Making the room extra special is a magnificent double-sided wood-burner, meaning it's shared with the living area next door. In addition, glass doors lead out onto the terrace, meaning warm sea breezes can waft through on summer days. The first space has two sofas, two recliners, wood-burner and floor-to-ceiling glass doors. The second area has a comfy corner sofa, leather bean bags and a Smart TV with soundbar. Finally, next to the kitchen lies the fantastic children's playroom - ideal if you want to keep an eye on little ones as you cook. With a sofa, books, games, Smart TV and French doors leading out to a Wendy house, there's plenty to keep kids entertained.

Upstairs, there are four spacious bedrooms sleeping up to ten people. The principal bedroom, with sea views, has a 'zip and link' bed, meaning it can be made up as two singles or a king-sized bed. In addition, there's an en suite bathroom with a shower over the bath. The second bedroom has a super-king bed, views over the dunes and an en suite bathroom with a corner bath. The third bedroom has two sets of full-sized bunk-beds which sleep four in total and overlooks the back garden. The fourth bedroom, with king-sized bed, boasts its own sea view balcony with rattan seating for up to eight - the perfect spot for morning coffee or cocktails at sunset! There's also a family bathroom with separate WC on the first floor. On the ground floor, there's an additional WC and shower-room with two shower cubicles in the utility-room.

Outside to the front of the property, there's parking for up to four vehicles and a south-facing garden with a terrace. Accessed from the dining and living areas, there's a table and chairs seating up to 12, two barbecues and sun loungers - perfect for entertaining on a sunny day. To the back of the property a lawned garden and a swing for children awaits - this area isn't fully enclosed so children and dogs should be supervised at all times. There's also an enclosed decked area (accessed from the playroom) with a Wendy house, outdoor toys and a children's rattan table and chairs.
