Weare Cottage is an immaculately clean, high spec, comfortable, contemporary cottage with parking for 3 cars. Tucked away on a quiet lane in the heart of Weare Giffard village, in the Torridge river valley, less than 8 miles from long sandy beaches, hidden coves and the spectacular SW coast path.
With stunning walks from the door, a long lazy day on the beach or a leisurely cycle along the nearby Tarka Trail, it makes the perfect home from home for a relaxing break with family and friends.
Designed for modern day living, the cottage is deceptively spacious with three living rooms, ideal for finding a quiet spot to read or watch the birds in the garden.
The entrance hall provides plenty of cupboard space for coats and shoes and the adjacent downstairs cloakroom houses a washing machine and tumble dryer plus wc and hand basin.
The large very well equipped kitchen includes a large fridge freezer, wine cooler and coffee maker and opens up into a family room with a smart tv, dvd, games and books, ideal for chatting and socialising or to keep an eye on little ones whilst cooking. This in turn opens out onto a very private furnished decked terrace and lawned garden with gas BBQ, perfect for sunbathing and al fresco dining.
The main sitting room is furnished with comfortable sofas plus an armchair and is home to the large curved smart tv, dvd and the wood burner, keeping it cosy on cooler evenings.
A garden rooms leads off, with a large sofa and armchair, surrounded by trees and full of light, perfect for morning coffee or a quiet moment away from the rest of the house.
A separate study with a large desk is available for those needing to work from home, with great WiFi throughout the house.
Upstairs are 3 large bedrooms.
-The king size has built in wardrobes, drawers and its own en-suite shower room with shower, sink, heated towel rail and wc.
-The twin bedded room has a built in wardrobe and drawers.
-The third bedroom has a large super king bed (can be converted to two full size singles on request.) Again, plenty of storage with a built in wardrobe and drawers.
The family bathroom contains a large sink, wc, heated towel rail plus a deep double ended bath with shower over.
All bed linen and towels are provided (not beach towels)
We are well equipped for children with a travel cot, stair gate, high chair, bed guard, step stools, toilet seat, potty, changing mat, children's tableware and cutlery plus lots of books and toys.
