3 Bed Cottage in Weare Giffard

About this property

Hugging the rising Weare Gifford valley hillside and surrounded by far-reaching views of the North Devon countryside, get a taste of traditional rural village living at the rustic cottage bursting with original features, just moments from the picturesque sandy beaches lining the North Devon and Cornwall coastlines.

Offering glorious views, an exposed brick fireplace and a farmhouse-style aesthetic, experience true peace and tranquillity as soon as you enter the cottage. Rustle up a feast in the kitchen/diner to enjoy special family time seated around the dining table or breakfast bar before following the warmth of the open fire into the cosy lounge to unwind on the comfy sofas. For the kids, a cosy games room! Answer the call of bedtime upstairs where you’ll find three bedrooms that each feature a charming, peaceful atmosphere as well as wonderful views of the countryside scenery. Indulge in the superb views across the valley and catch some unforgettable sunsets by dining alfresco on the front patio or by roasting marshmallows on the fire pit tucked away on the hilly rear lawn.

Step outside and take in the river views from the front patio, unwind in the hot tub, or wander up to the hilly rear fire-pit area, where you’ll be rewarded with superb views across the valley. The front patio also offers two comfortable outdoor seating areas close to the kitchen, ideal for al fresco dining. Adjoined by a charcoal BBQ and a grass lawn, it’s a wonderful space to wine, dine, and enjoy those glowing sunsets with friends and family. Continue further to a dedicated, secluded garden workspace located at the top of the garden, offering spectacular views over the Weare Gifford Valley. This inviting space features a cosy log burner, two comfortable armchairs, a desk with printer access, a desk lamp with phone charger, and a tea and coffee making station. It’s the perfect spot for remote working, yoga or pilates, or simply relaxing while warming by the fire and enjoying the view.

Set on the banks of the River Torridge, the village of Weare Giffard offers everything you’d expect to find in a peaceful rural village; far-reaching countryside views, a beautiful church and a manor house. From countryside to coast, just 9 miles north you’ll reach Westward Ho!, offering 2 miles of golden sand, a unique pebble ridge, perfect surfing conditions and direct access to the idyllic South West Coast Path. Keen walkers and cyclists can also join up with the traffic-free Tarka Trail (a former railway line) from the riverport town of Bideford (6 miles) and explore its maze of quaint streets filled with independent shops, cafes and pubs.
