Meticulously restored and flaunting an achingly gorgeous interior, this lovely seaside cottage has been given a new lease on life by its owners; where original character features and boutique styling sit side by side to offer a tastefully designed luxury holiday home in one of Devon’s prettiest coastal villages.
Tucked away down a narrow street just 30 yards from Appledore’s postcard-worthy quay, 1 Quayside offers three floors of sumptuous space, with beautifully decorated bedrooms occupying the top two floors; and the living area, kitchen and dining room laid out on the lower. Cosy and welcoming, this home features an elegant colour palette of charcoals, greys and naturals, with painted wood panelling and whitewashed exposed stone creating an alluring combination of new and old. The ground floor space is divided between a fabulous, amply equipped kitchen and an adjoining dining room that has doors leading out to a suntrap courtyard garden, as well as an inviting living room with glamorous furnishings and fashionable seating.
Upstairs in the converted attic, the master bedroom tempts long, lazy lie-ins beneath chunky exposed timbers and modern mood lighting with crisp high-quality linens, wool throws and soft carpeting adding warmth and texture to the room.On the middle floor are two additional bedrooms, the larger of which boasts a marvellous fireplace as well as a Provençal inspired king size bed with rattan headboard and footer, and the newly fitted bathroom sports a rolltop bath and a large walk-in shower.
Appledore is a dream family holiday destination instantly recognizable from its rows of pastel coloured houses on narrow streets, as well as its attractive quay that has wide views over the Torridge estuary and over to Instow. Steeped in a rich seafaring history, the village is famous for its locally caught seafood and Maritime museum, while also celebrating its creative culture through regular art festivals that showcase the workmanship of its resident craftsmen and women. Just a short drive away lies the beautiful Blue-Flag beach at Westward Ho! – one of North Devon’s best-known spots for water-sports lovers and beach-goers. A combination of vast golden sands and rockpools makes it especially attractive for families who can enjoy swimming, sunbathing and beach exploration, with flat areas that are perfect for picnics and a number of beachside café’s and restaurants for those essential seaside treats of ice cream cones and ‘fish and chips’.
