Accommodation overview: Impressive spacious detached holiday home with amazing views over Woolacombe Bay.

This lovely detached home sits in a magnificent position with breathtaking views of Woolacombe Bay to the front and National Trust land behind. The house is built on a private road just above the Esplanade, slightly removed from the hustle and bustle of the village, but still only a stroll from the three mile Blue Flag beach and the shops. Everything you could need is just minutes away - whether it be restaurants and pubs, pitch and put, crazy golf, surf hire or an impressive spa available in a nearby hotel - there is something for everyone.

The key thing about Baggy Leap is the sea - there are sea views from almost every room in the house. The fabulously spacious living room has floor to ceiling windows with amazing sea views. You can play table football, or pool or snuggle down on the enormous sofas and watch TV, and there is Satellite Plus for the times you want to go outside to admire the sunset. The kitchen is incredibly well-equipped and has a dark blue double Aga as well as a separate oven and hob. Just by the back door are shelves of different sized wellies to borrow for wet weather (including some tiny ones) which we hope will work for everyone in your party. If you're not able to eat outside - in the summerhouse or on the terrace - there's a family dining room with long pine tables and traditional dresser. Enjoy your meals while watching the sea, the sky and Lundy Island.

The house has five bedrooms; four double rooms and a twin room which can be converted to a double room on request. There are three bathrooms and two separate cloakrooms. One of the double rooms has a king-size bed and ensuite bathroom, and spectacular views the length of the three mile beach. Another of the double bedrooms is downstairs and has an en suite shower room. All bed linen is white Egyptian cotton and white towels are provided for use in the house. White walls, cream carpets and curtains and colourful photography combine to create a cool and relaxing atmosphere throughout. There are books and games for rainy days in the second sitting room which has a sofa and bean bags. Baggy Leap has a pretty big footprint, with room for three or four cars to park comfortably at the top of its long drive. It also has a quirky garden layout. There's a sloping lawn in front, leading up to the long terrace that runs the length of the house with a table and chairs to sit at the far corner. A small lawn in front of the summerhouse is a good place to play giant jenga (you'll find that next to the wellies). Behind the summerhouse is a shower to rinse off after swimming or surfing. At the back of the house there are flower and herb beds - feel free to add sage, rosemary or mint to your cooking. A small wooden gate in the old wall opens onto the National Trust land that lies behind the house itself. Go through the gate and up the hill, past the bracken, the brambles and the sheep, and you'll be rewarded by quite breathtaking views.

Features include: Short breaks • Pets allowed • Internet or WiFI Access • Detached • Garden • Close to the Beach • Close to a Pub • Near Horse Riding

Accommodation overview: A modern detached property enjoying fabulous uninterrupted and far reaching views of open countryside, just a mile from the sea. A fantastic place for walkers being ten minutes from the South West Coast Path.

If you like waking up to far reaching, panoramic views of beautiful open countryside then you'll love Slee's Meadow View. You might also love the fact that this delightful, tastefully decorated modern detached property is just a mile from the sea and the very lovely yet rarely crowded Peppercombe Beach. At high tide this quiet stretch of beach is rocky but low tide will reveal deserted sands and some of the best rock pooling in the area. Little explorers love it! Even in high summer you could be alone here. The walk, through the wooded National Trust owned Peppercombe Valley, is superb and takes about 10-15 minutes. Dogs and their owners will love it - especially as the coast path is just 10 minute's stroll from the property.
Slee's Meadow View is also just a ten minute drive from the surf and sands at Westward Ho!, five minutes from the Big Sheep theme park, five minutes from The Milky Way fun park, ten minutes from the quaint village and harbour at Clovelly and about 30-40 minutes drive along the coast road to the surf and beaches at Bude.
Slee's Meadow View has a large open plan living, dining and kitchen area so it's a very social house to spend time in. A breakfast bar provides informal dining (or a chance to scrutinise the work of the chef whilst enjoying a glass of wine) and a large dining table with six places and a rise and fall lamp can bring a sense of occasion if you need it! On cooler nights the wood burning stove will add an extra cosy feel too. The southerly aspect means that the sun streams in through patio doors on sunny days and the conservatory, with its bookcases and comfy Chesterfield sofa, offers a quiet space to read or take in the views. Both bedrooms are spacious and have patio doors to make the most of the views.
You can step out into the large fenced rear garden from the conservatory - as well as from both bedrooms - to eat, enjoy the views or let the children and pets play (the garden is 'dog-proofed'). The bedrooms are served by a bright family bathroom.
Slee's Meadow View makes a great base for exploring this quiet and beautiful corner of North Devon. Whilst the outlook is rural, the house is close to the coast, RHS Rosemoor, local attractions and some great country pubs. The Coach and Horses at Horns Cross is just across the road too!

Accommodation: Ground floor: Hall. Open plan Living /kitchen/ dining room with wood burning stove, large flat screen TV with satellite Freeview and DVD with surround sound. Kitchen area with electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher.
