Set beside the popular surfing resort of Westward Ho! and with private access to the dunes of Northam Burrows, it’s easy to see the draw of this dog-friendly beach home. Granted, the interiors aren’t anything to write home about, but you’ll love how roomy and practical this place feels. A home for all seasons, the balcony with green vistas is a nice touch for summer evening drinks. Meanwhile, winter is all about hunkering down for cosy film nights, and the underfloor heating will keep things toasty. With the beach amenities of Westward Ho! just a flip-flop away, a car isn’t necessary here. But for a change of scene, the pretty coastal villages of Appledore and Clovelly are just a short drive away.
