About this property
Enjoy Stunning Sea Views From A Detached Contemporary Coastal Holiday Home
Thorpe is a detached, contemporary, 5 bedroom coastal house with stunning views to the sea and a short walk to the beach and town. This 1930's house was extensively modernized in 2008 (as featured on BBC1 Homes programme) to provide luxury accommodation throughout. A sunken hot tub in the front decking enjoys the best views of Woolacombe beach. Thorpe is a family home, maintained to a high standard throughout. We enjoy fabulous guest reviews which are really important to us.
We now offer shorter bookings for 4 days + out of school holidays.

About the area
Woolacombe
Located in Woolacombe, this holiday home is on the waterfront. While the natural beauty of North Devon Coast and Woolacombe Beach can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can explore Ilfracombe Harbour.
Marwood Hill Gardens and Watermouth Castle are also worth visiting. Scuba diving and snorkelling offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking/biking trails and cycling nearby.

About the host
Hosted by Chris and Liz Jones
Chris & Liz.
We live in the Cotswolds in England, have two kids now in their 20s, ran a Telecoms business for 25 years (now sold), met in 1980 and realised our dream of a fabulous coastal holiday home to enjoy in Woolacombe England (called Thorpe) and a Villa in Crete (called Caliz) and more recently a converted 17th Century barn & Annex in the Cotswolds (called Mulberry Barn) .
We enjoy running our small holiday lettings business ~ it really matters to us that guests have a great holiday experience.

Why they chose this property
Detached houses rarely come on the market in Woolacombe so when Thorpe appeared we snapped it up!
The location and views were the primary reasons for our decision. Thorpe had only been owned by two families since it was built in the late 1920's. Although rather tired we felt it had great potential so set about a complete redevelopment of the property. BBC1 featured Thorpe in their TV series about redeveloping houses.

What makes this property unique
Thorpe ticks all the boxes for us! Stunning views over Woolacombe's 3Km blue flag golden sandy beach yet only a short walk to the town centre.
A real family home that accommodates up to 10 people (sorry, no pets & non-smoking!) Thorpe is a great place to unwind and relax. Amazing walks from your door step, pubs and restaurants nearby, a few minutes stroll to the beach and even the UKs oldest nightclub (The Marisco 1967) in walking distance! A fabulous place to enjoy all year round.
We maintain Thorpe to a high level of decor and are delighted that our guests respect and enjoy it as a family home. It is not a party venue as the maximum occupancy is for 10 people. It is not suitable for under 5's (except babies) as there are many steps and a high level of decor maintained.
