Gorgeous 3 bed. home opposite beach, dog friendly!

Stunning newly refurbished maisonette, directly over the road (50m) from the beach in beautiful Budleigh Salterton with three bedrooms sleeping a maximum of five adults or up to six people including two children) The flat has two full bathrooms: these and the kitchen have underfloor heating, and the entire flat has super effective central heating. Spacious fully equipped kitchen and beautiful open living area for relaxing, & six at the table. The space This large three bedroomed apartment has just undergone an extensive refurb, retaining a gorgeous vintage character with touches of luxury throughout. Floors are stripped and polished, bathrooms and kitchen have tiled (Travertine and Italian Porcelain respectively) floors with underfloor heating making the flat cosy at any time. Upstairs is a full double ended bath with separate shower, whilst downstairs is a larger shower...big enough to wash a dog.. and loo, which doubles as utility room with washer / dryer. The bedrooms are generous sized, two doubles and one single (which can become a double at a push) and mattresses and furnishings are excellent quality with bedding and towels provided for your use. The kitchen is equipped not only with a gas hob and electric oven as well as microwave and full sized fridge, but also dishwasher and penty of crockery, pans, utensils - all you need to make this your home from home. In spite of being in the centre of town it is quiet due to double glazing throughout, except the downstairs bathroom/utility which has the original wooden sash windows. The apartment is furnished with a stylish blend of classic vintage gems and modern touches like the venetian blinds, super comfy armchairs and oversize downstairs shower. The high bar between the kitchen and living room makes the place feel sociable and moden, while other 'shabby chic' details keep it homey and interesting. The majority of the refurb where possible has used reclaimed, recycled, and original materials so that flat has a unique and eclectic feel: Imagine 'The Wombles' meet 'Bagpuss'! ('....making good use of the things that we find....'....dum de dum......'we will mend it we will fix it, we will make it like new, new, new..') but feels luxurious and spacious with high celings and wonderful light. On Thursday, early in the morning, pop over the road to the beach to buy amazingly fresh fish from the fisherman at his boat, or if you don't fancy cooking - any night (except Sundays!) try the variety of great local restaurants and takeaways within the town. Dogs are welcome subject to some restrictions - please check. The beach directly opposite is dog friendly all year, so your canine conpanion can play in the waves before coming ba k for a warm shower........while a couple of hundred meters away is a dog-free zone in the summer months so if dogs aren't your thing, no problem. Same applies to children- We didn't design this place with little ones in mind so please do get in touch before confirming your reservation-it may not be suitable for all. Any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Guest access There's an inexpensive car park a few dozen (level) yards away, or you could park on one of the many unrestricted roads nearby. Budleigh Town centre in mostly level and with the beach literally over the road you won't need the car unless you go off exploring. Other things to note PLEASE NOTE- Consideration needed, in the evenings especially, as this is an old building and not soundproof. The downstairs neighbours will be disturbed by loud conversations and heavy footsteps on the stairwell so please be aware of this when booking. (Bring slippers or go barefoot up the carpeted stairs) Also - Rubbish and recycling. I'm afraid we have to take a tough stance on this- recycling is collected every week, including food. Landfill, however, is only every three weeks (!?) which means we MUST insist on you recycling everything possible. Randomly chucking everything in several bin liners over a week will earn you a 'fail'!
