Read the full agent description

Offering the rare combination of an elegant character home and a proven income-generating holiday let, this exceptional Northam property is perfectly suited to modern coastal living.

Beautifully presented throughout, the three-bedroom cottage is complemented by a thoughtfully designed self-contained annexe, currently run as a successful Airbnb, creating an outstanding opportunity for buyers seeking additional income, multi-generational living or flexible guest accommodation.

The main cottage is impressive, blending timeless character with modern practicality. An inviting entrance hall, complete with original Victorian tiled flooring and useful understairs storage, leads into a welcoming lounge where exposed timber floorboards, a striking stone fireplace and wood-burning stove create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort.

To the rear, the home opens into a spacious kitchen and dining room designed with everyday family living and entertaining in mind. Double doors spill out onto the garden, while solid wood worktops, a Range cooker space, integrated dishwasher, natural slate flooring and underfloor heating combine to create a kitchen that is as practical as it is attractive. A separate utility room offers further storage together with space for laundry appliances and a fridge/freezer.

The first floor offers three generous double bedrooms, each retaining the charm expected of a home of this era. The principal bedroom enjoys a feature fireplace, exposed floorboards, fitted wardrobe and its own ensuite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms overlook the rear garden and enjoy far-reaching sea views. Completing the accommodation is a stylish family bathroom, beautifully fitted with a contemporary suite, heated towel rail and fully tiled walls and flooring.

Outside, the property continues to impress. A brick-paved driveway provides valuable off-road parking, while the enclosed rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of distinct outdoor spaces. A generous natural slate terrace provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining before leading to level lawns and an elevated decked seating area, perfectly positioned to capture the afternoon and evening sun.

Adding further versatility, a charming summerhouse with power and lighting offers excellent potential as a home office, studio or garden bar, while a separate storage shed is ideal for surfboards, bicycles and outdoor equipment. A covered log store and convenient side access via the neighbouring drangway complete the outdoor space.

The annexe has been cleverly designed to provide complete independence, with separate side access and doors leading in from the rear garden. Stylish and contemporary throughout, it features an open-plan living area with a well-equipped kitchenette incorporating integrated appliances, built-in dining space and useful storage. Underfloor heating ensures year-round comfort, while a mezzanine sleeping area with electric Velux windows makes excellent use of the space. A beautifully finished shower room completes the accommodation, allowing the annexe to continue operating immediately as an established holiday let with minimal effort, or alternatively providing ideal accommodation for relatives, visitors or those working from home.

Beyond its obvious lifestyle appeal, the property presents a genuine opportunity to generate an additional income. The self-contained annexe has already established itself as a successful Airbnb, providing owners with a ready-made business that can continue from day one. Whether supplementing household income, offsetting running costs or supporting a flexible work-life balance, the annexe adds significant value and appeal that is increasingly difficult to find.

Positioned in the heart of Northam, the property enjoys easy access to the villages excellent amenities, including a convenience store, café, art studio, doctors surgery, dentist, primary school and leisure facilities. The South West Coast Path, Northam Burrows Country Park and the golden sands of Westward Ho! are all within walking distance, while nearby Appledore offers an abundance of independent shops, restaurants and waterside charm.

Combining character, flexibility and proven earning potential in one of North Devon`s most desirable coastal villages, this is far more than a beautiful home - it is an opportunity to embrace a rewarding coastal lifestyle with an established income already built in.
