This detached house overlooking the sea is located ½ mile from Welcombe hamlet and ¾ mile by footpath from the beach at Welcombe Mouth. Smart and comfortable, it is lovely peaceful accommodation for enjoying the tranquillity or walking the coast. In the sitting room your attention will be divided between the cosy flickering wood burning stove and the view over the well planted garden. The spacious dining room doubles as a second sitting room with its comfy seating and glass garden doors, a welcoming room for enjoying family meals prepared in your smart kitchen with snug Rayburn and sofa for chatting to the cook over an evening drink. Head upstairs and you will find the four bedrooms with steps between levels. The three double bedrooms all enjoy great sea views. The enclosed garden surrounds the house, with a patio for family barbecues, a grassy area for games and a view of the sea. When not occupied by animals, you are welcome to wander the adjoining field with its unfenced pond. From the house a hedgerow lane leads down to the Coast Path and from there to the beach, but it is best tackled with a good level of fitness and not too much gear. An easier footpath takes you across fields to the excellent village pub, where you will need to have a torch if you are heading home after dark. The beach at Welcombe Mouth is a great place to head to for surfing or to chill out and admire the surrounding cliff scenery. Bude is another brilliant place for surfing or traditional seaside fun. Walk the Coast Path for more good views, as far as Hartland or to spot a variety of birds en route. In a quiet, private spot, Ley Park is a charming house for enjoying unspoiled scenery and peace.
