Unique stand alone property in exceptional location
Oyster Falls has 4 bedrooms on the upper floor, 1 with an ensuite, and a family bathroom. Downstairs is glazed from floor to ceiling giving magnificent light throughout.
It is largely open plan with a kitchen/living area, a table seating up to10 people, large sofas, a log burner, a 2nd TV area for gaming and a pool table.
The house is 1 mile from the centre of Croyde village, but 2 mins from the bay/beach itself.
Down End point is well known to be a fantastic surf break, but only for the experienced surfer - on a good day watch them dare to ride the waves here... A house has been in our family in this position since the 1950's but was rebuilt as a eco Passiv Haus in 2014. It boasts some of the most amazing views of Baggy Point, the Hartland Peninsula, Croyde Bay, Lundy Island, the rocks and sea all around. It has a westerly aspect and so watches the weather come in from the Atlantic but inside is beautifully calm, weathertight and cosy, the best place to come back to should a storm brew. You can walk from the house to the beach, or take a circular walk around to Saunton Sands up over The Down and back into Croyde, catch a coffee in Croyde or lunch in The Thatch and stroll back home again. Or why not venture over the bay to Baggy Point and look back at the views of Down End, Appledore and Clovelly (on a clear day!) or carry on over to Putsborough and Woolacoombe to the North. Even better still get the wet suits on and take a dip in the sea under the care of the Croyde Surf Academy based in Down End Car Park just 2 mins walk down the road. Oyster Falls is named after the break that occurs (only in the right conditions) about a mile out to sea, believed to have been formed by the Americans in training for WWII. It is not so much an upside down house, but you do enter on the top floor where there are 4 bedrooms (one master with ensuite), three other bed rooms which we can set up to suit, (currently a Super King, a King, a double and a small double but we will/can amend one room to 2 singles if required just let us know ASAP) and a family bathroom . Stand at the large picture window and take in the view, (or take a seat just there for a wonderful afternoon snooze) then walk down the stairs to the wonderfully fully glazed and open ground floor. A large kitchen living area with double fridge, all the amenities, a table that can seat 10 or even 12, a log burner, sliding doors to the wraparound decking, a long pantry room with dedicated freezer space, a laundry room, an office area, a downstairs toilet, store room and 'the end room' where there is a pool table, and games/TV area. Logs and body boards for use should you wish, are under the decking, as is a gate to the fields in front which you can walk through to the coastal path. There may be sheep in the field so do remember the country code and ensure you shut the gate !
