Garden Cottage
About the home
Garden Cottage is a large and very comfortable 4 bedroom/ 2 bathroom detached home in the heart of Braunton village. The large garden is surrounded by high walls, making it private and very safe for children. Local shops and restaurants are 3 minutes' walk away while the glorious beach of Saunton Sands is around 5 minutes by car and the popular traffic-free Tarka Trail bike route passes within 100 yards.
This house is a perfect holiday destination for a large family or even 2 or 3 families sharing a holiday. There is easy access to local activities including great surfing, walking and cycling, but the property is equally well-suited to guests looking for a quiet, comfortable retreat in which to enjoy more gentle indoor pursuits. There is off-street parking for up to 4 cars and a very large garden with ample provision for outside dining, barbecuing, or even firing up the brick-built oven.
