Further up the garden is a shared area with absolutely stunning wide skies and views over the Bristol Channel to Wales and the other way to Lundy Island, an awesome place for a sundowner or for stargazing with seating and football area. This top part of the garden is shared with The Cabin located away from the main house and up the garden. All the area around the main house is private to the house. If you are after manicured lawns and pristine flower beds, this is not the garden for you but if you like wild areas allowing an abundance of wildlife you will love it.
The secluded location of the house gives a peaceful retreat after enjoying days on the beach, surfing the waves, walking the coast path or exploring the beautiful North Devon Coastline and countryside.
