Stunning Estuary Views and Driveway Parking - Welcome to Corona, a beautifully presented and highly successful modern holiday home located in the idyllic coastal village of Instow. Set in an elevated position overlooking the River Torridge, this exceptional property offers panoramic waterside views, elegant interiors, and first-class amenities. EPC Rating D
A beautifully presented and highly successful contemporary coastal home, enviably positioned in an elevated setting above the River Torridge with panoramic views across the water towards Appledore. Currently operated as a high-performing holiday let, the property is offered in true turnkey condition and would equally make a superb main home or luxurious second residence in one of North Devon’s most desirable estuary villages. A smart Victorian-style tiled entrance hall sets the tone on arrival, opening into a bright and welcoming hallway finished in a clean, modern décor. To the front sits the first of four generous double bedrooms, a delightful room with a broad bay window that frames the spectacular river outlook and allows natural light to pour in. A second double bedroom lies centrally, currently arranged as a spacious twin, ideal for guests or children. Towards the rear, the largest of the three ground-floor bedrooms offers an excellent degree of privacy, complete with built-in wardrobe, en-suite shower room and patio doors opening into a sizeable sun room. This impressive additional living space wraps back towards the centre of the house and provides access to stone steps rising to the rear garden, creating a lovely connection between the indoor and outdoor areas. A well-appointed family bathroom with WC, wash hand basin and bath with shower over, together with a useful storage cupboard off the hallway, complete the ground floor. Stairs rise to the first floor where the accommodation truly comes into its own. Here, an outstanding open-plan living, dining and kitchen space has been thoughtfully designed to maximise the exceptional estuary views. Expansive glazing and bi fold doors to the front flood the room with natural light and open directly onto a balcony overlooking the estuary – the perfect spot for morning coffee, sundowners or simply watching the ever-changing tides. The contemporary fitted kitchen provides ample preparation and storage space, alongside room for a large family dining table, while the sitting area offers a relaxed setting for entertaining and gathering. To the rear, further bi-fold doors open onto a private area of composite decking, enclosed by substantial stone walls to create an intimate and sheltered space for alfresco dining. From the sitting area, a further staircase leads to the second floor and an impressive principal suite. This generous master bedroom enjoys elevated river views and offers a peaceful retreat, with fitted storage and a large en-suite shower room featuring WC and twin “his and hers” wash basins. The outlook from here is particularly special – a wonderful vantage point to wake up to the estuary each day. Outside, a walkway from the rear decking leads through to a substantial area of off-road parking for three vehicles, accessed via large electric metal gates which provide both security and a heightened sense of privacy. There is ample space for multiple vehicles, together with an electric car charging point – a valuable addition for modern living and continued holiday-letting appeal. Corona has an excellent trading history as a holiday let, with strong levels of repeat business and impressive occupancy, offering purchasers an immediate income stream if desired. Instow is one of North Devon’s most sought-after coastal villages, renowned for its sandy estuary beach, independent pubs and cafes, and direct access to the Tarka Trail for walking and cycling. The nearby towns of Bideford, Barnstaple and Appledore provide a wide range of further amenities, schooling and transport links, making Corona a wonderful lifestyle opportunity in a truly special waterfront setting.Porch 1.45m x 1.45m
