North Devon's famous surfing beaches at Croyde, Putsborough, Saunton (also with championship golf course) and Woolacombe, are all within about ½ an hour by car. DESCRIPTION Understood to have been with the current owners' family at least since the early 1800s, Marine Cottage is a detached 4 bedroom cottage in the heart of Combe Martin and only a stone's throw away from Combe Martin beach. With its original patterned cobbled entrance and courtyard, V-shaped bedroom window and quirky outbuildings such as the authentic "Wash-House" it still holds a lot of its original character and charm and you soon get the sense that the property isn't just a one off but it is in fact a rare opportunity to acquire a deceptively large property in a picturesque location. The accommodation is in need of renovation but is light, spacious and includes 4 Double Bedrooms, 3 Reception Rooms, Kitchen, Bathroom and Wet Room. Outside is a private road with gate to the cobbled courtyard,, private walled garden and a variety of outbuildings.
