Driftwood - 4 Bed | Short Walk To Beach, Croyde

Devon. Sleeps up to 9

Driftwood is a stunning retreat that is sure to please. All the interiors have a real 'wow' factor and there are some lovely 'surprises' throughout the property. Care has been taken to come up with comfortable and imaginative interiors that allow for an easy flow for groups and families, while still creating small individual spaces for relaxation.

Living/Dining/Cooking
The property centres around a large open plan kitchen/dining/living room with a stunning double height ceiling over the living area and a mezzanine overlooking the space. The chef- quality kitchen is a well thought out area benefitting from granite countertops, a large Smeg range cooker and a double door American fridge freezer. The Belfast sink overlooks the garden and the island is clad with reclaimed wood from Indonesian wooden boats. All of the units have deep storage drawers with clever internal drawers to maximise the storage space in this well stocked kitchen.

The living area is a lovely, bright and inviting space where the family can gather to plan their day and come together in the evening to share their experiences around the large dining table. The bi-fold doors open straight on to a large slate terrace - providing real inside/outside living.

The three sofas in the living room area provide ample and comfortable seating. There is a large TV cleverly hidden behind the surfing artwork for movie and TV viewing.

A little snug has been created under the stairs, with a light, to create a reading and relaxing area - creating a private space while still part of the group. The statement staircase, with a bookcase (filled with books, DVDs and games for all ages) runs along the full wall, leading its way to a balcony mezzanine overlooking the open plan living area and providing an additional seating area.

The bookcase is also sure to delight as it 'hides a secret'! A hidden doorway, disguised as part of the bookcase, leads into the impressive master bedroom.

Sleeping
There are 4 bedrooms in total, the master bedroom enjoys beautiful views overlooking the hills, a comfortable sofa and TV/DVD, plus contemporary en-suite bathroom. Three further bedrooms are found downstairs: The first room off the hallway (to the front of the property) provides sleeping for 3 guests with a single bed at the top and double underneath. The next bedroom is a double room with an en-suite toilet. Both of these bedrooms have large closets for storage, contemporary and beautifully thought out interior design schemes and small TV/DVDs. The final double bedroom has an en-suite shower room. This calm and relaxing room cleverly mixes rustic charm with a comfortable iron bed, has large closets and French doors that open onto the garden.

Bathing
The family bathroom, found at the end of the hallway downstairs is bright with lots of storage and has a large walk in shower with both a hand held and wall shower options, shower stool and underfloor heating. The master bedroom en-suite has underfloor heated slate tiles, a free-standing bath, extra-large shower, double sinks and an enclosed toilet. Bedroom 2 has an en-suite with a shower and bedroom 4 has an en-suite with a wc and wash basin.

Outside
The exciting features of this property don't stop inside! The outside areas have been thoughtfully created to provide areas to relax and escape. The large slate terrace provides an extension to the living space with fully retractable bi-fold doors giving real inside/outside living. There is a large outside settee with comfortable cushions for relaxing at any time of the day.

There is also a laundry/systems room with a stacked washer and drier (with a pull-out folding table), small 'extra fridge' and additional storage. This room has been cleverly thought out with a fold out interior drying rack for wetsuits etc. There is also a coal BBQ provided and driveway parking for 2 cars.
