Luxury property near beach sleeps 8 - Stunning sea views - parking

Close to the beach and enjoying views of the iconic Burgh Island, Aburghley is a spacious four-bedroom holiday home in Bigbury-on-Sea.

Decorated in contemporary coastal style, the property has the look and feel of a seaside chalet. Large windows let in lots of natural light and provide plenty of space for family and friends to unwind together.

To the front of the house there's access via a gentle slope or 10 steps up to a terrace, which is a real sun trap complete with a table, chairs and expansive sea views.

Inside, the open plan kitchen and dining area has an elegant table as well as a convivial kitchen island surrounded by high stools. It’s equipped with a smart American-style fridge-freezer, a dishwasher, microwave, two electric ovens, an induction hob, and a coffee machine. Meanwhile, French windows lead out to the garden - perfect for alfresco summer lunches. Next door to the kitchen is a convenient cupboard housing the washing machine and tumble drier.

Three of the four bedrooms are on the ground floor, each with their own television and DVD player. There are two double rooms - one with an en suite shower room and the other with double doors into the garden. There’s also a twin room and a family bathroom with a bath and overhead shower.

Head upstairs and you will find a superb living room with two large L-shaped sofas, television, and magnificent sea views as well as skylights that flood the room with sunshine. Here, you will also find the master bedroom, which can either be used as a double or twin room thanks to the link-attached beds. This tranquil room has its own en suite shower room as well.

To the rear of the property you will find a garden laid to lawn and patio complete with a table, chairs and BBQ- all looking out towards the sea. For those with water sports equipment, there’s a shed to store your beach gear securely.

Recommended for: A family, two families together or a group of friends looking to spend time together.

Need to know: Dogs are welcome to join their owners at this holiday home but are only allowed in the kitchen/dining room.

About a holiday in Bigbury-on-Sea

Bigbury-on-Sea is probably best known for its unique stretch of beach, where the tide comes in from both sides. The strip of sand leads to Burgh Island, a private island home to an eponymous 1930s art deco hotel, famous for its sea tractor and for inspiring several Agatha Christie novels. There you will also find the historic Pilchard Inn (excellent for fish and chips), while the mainland has a beach cafe and surf school. The area is well known as a windsurfing hot spot, especially if you head to nearby Bantham. It’s also set along the famously beautiful South West Coast Path - for long scenic walks watching the birdlife fly by. A holiday here is also a chance to explore other parts of the South Hams - head to the sailing town of Salcombe, the market town of Kingsbridge, play golf at Bigbury Golf Course, and enjoy a variety of superb restaurants like the Oyster Shack just a short drive away.
