The Space:
This charming Grade 2 Listed cottage is situated in the oldest part of Braunton, North Devon. It is located on a picturesque street and surrounded by beautiful, historic cottages that are all part of a designated conservation area. You're also located just a 5 minutes drive to Saunton Sands, one of North Devon's best beaches. Inside, the cottage has stylish interiors and plenty of homely comforts throughout. The scandi-inspired living room is spacious and retains plenty of original features, such as exposed wooden floorboards and a wooden sash window. You will also find two comfortable sofas, a 4k TV with apps and a wood-burner for those cooler nights.

At the rear of the cottage is the kitchen, which is flooded with natural light through Velux windows and has been equipped with ample amenities. There is a large range cooker and hob, as well as double sinks, washing machine, kettle, toaster and a breakfast bar for dining. From here, there is a stable door that leads out into a private, timber-clad workshop where there is plenty of room to store bikes, beach stuff, surfboards and wetsuits.

Upstairs, there is a half landing with a petite character window and a landing that leads to the the bunk room. This has full sized bunk beds that are suitable for children and teenagers. There is a deep built in wardrobe, a low quirky window, a black out blind and a Philips Hue bulb with night light feature. On the next floor up, the middle bedroom has a single bed as well as a feature window, black out blind and a large chest of drawers for storage. Whilst across the landing is the master bedroom with a comfortable king-size bed, large built in wardrobes and a sash window. The bedrooms share a bathroom with large walk in shower and toilet.

The cottage is located on an idyllic street in the oldest part of Braunton village. The road leads down to the local pub, The Black Horse Inn, St. Brannock's Church, the River Caen.

Cozy home
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It is very well equipped and very cozy. The bathroom is a bit small for a family of five - I would say. Also the dining area in the kitchen is rather ideal for up to four people. Nevertheless, we felt very comfortable. The bedrooms and beds were excellent and the evenings by the fireplace very cozy.
