This large, 5 star, contemporary detached house, is furnished and equipped to an extremely high standard with great attention to detail. Visitors enjoy spectacular sunsets over the North Devon coast to Lundy Island from nearly every room in the house or from the hot tub in the garden! With tennis court; safe garden; heated pool (April-October); cosy wood burner for winter evenings; internet; pool table... You will find the A39 Atlantic Highway is very easily accessible making this an incredibly convenient base for exploring the numerous rocky shores or the famous sandy surfing beaches and rural North Devon and North Cornwall. Enjoy quaint harbours, local visitor attractions or the coastal footpaths and cycle tracks. But on the edge of a delightful Devon village, only 2 minutes walk to the thatched pub, church, post office and general store, village playing fields and a popular tourist attraction at the bottom of the hill, you may decide not to get back in the car for the whole holiday!

Owner profile
About the owner
I was born a farmer's daughter and grew up in the village of Abbotsham and having moved away was delighted to have the opportunity to come back and bring up my children here. I have three girls, now 16, 18 and 20, my mum and my brother live close by and most of the rest of my relations are buried in the local church yard! Talk about a close family! It means we know everyone, we have a great support network and in return we are passionate about supporting the local rural and business community. If you need any introductions or have any questions about where to go and what to do I am sure I will be able to help you.
Year purchased: 2003
Why the owner chose a home in this location
This house is in a fabulous location on the edge of the village with spectacular views over open countryside to the sea. We built the house ourselves including a sunken tennis court so that the sea view was maintained. We originally intended to move into Southclay, it was therefore built with a really high specification but never got around to the move when we realised its value as a holiday let!
Unique benefits of the property
An exceptionally friendly village with a great community spirit, good local pub, village stores and post office, church, chapel, village school and community play area and the Big Sheep tourist attraction at the bottom of the hill... Abbotsham has something for everyone.
It is convenient to the main A39 highway (1 minute's drive) so excellent for cutting journey times and as a base for exploring the rest of North Devon yet from Southclay you would never believe a main road was nearby. It has only village traffic noise, a peaceful rural aspect and beautiful uninterrupted sea views.
