Set in the centre of the very popular, coastal village of Instow is Instow Beach Cottage, a lovely 3 bedroom apartment, sleeping up to 5 people and welcoming one dog. This beachfront apartment is set on the first floor of a house on Marine Parade which runs along the water-front and beach, and also benefits from its own private driveway and parking.
You enter Instow Beach Cottage on the ground floor into a large entrance hall which has loads of room for storing surfboards and bikes. There is a steep set of stairs leading to the first floor, but for those who don’t fancy these narrow stairs, there is also a small lift. Ideal for transporting luggage too!
At the top of the stairs, there is a single bedroom overlooking the beach and it is also where the lift arrives. It has a full-size single bed and a wash basin, as well as a chest of drawers. The other two bedrooms are located towards the rear of the apartment. These include a double bedroom with a double bed and wash basin and the third bedroom is a twin room. This has two full size single beds, a wash basin and is also home to the washing machine. The family bathroom is next to the double bedroom and has a bath with shower overhead, wash basin and WC.
The kitchen has been modernised and has fitted cupboards, oak worktops plus an electric oven with hob, microwave and fridge-freezer. There is a handy pantry for extra storage. A separate dining room has lovely views of the garden and “gothic” style table and chairs for 5 guests. The main living room runs along the front of the apartment and benefits from lovely views over the beach and sea beyond. Comfy sofas and a TV provides the perfect spot for relaxing after enjoyable days out. A door from the living room also leads out onto a balcony, which also overlooks the beach. An outdoor table with chairs have thoughtfully been provided to offer a wonderful spot for dining alfresco style or relaxing with a drink whilst the sun sets over the sea.
Down a few small steps, there is a private garden, nicely sheltered by trees. There is also a garage to the front of the house which has a useful tap for washing sandy surfboards and boots.
