Set back from the pretty lane that winds down to Bantham beach, one of Devon's most popular surfing destinations, The Wilderness, a large four bedroomed property is at one end of an attractive group of barn conversions, with far reaching views across the beautiful Devonshire countryside. Thoughtfully presented to a high standard in a fresh, contemporary style, accommodation is arranged on three floors with bedrooms above and below the large ground level living room and kitchen, and sleeps up to seven, plus there is an additional truckle bed for occasional use. The Wilderness, named after the wild flowering garden which used to surround it, provides a comfortable and superbly placed base for families or groups of friends wishing to enjoy a prime South Hams location.
Please Note: The rear lawned garden is fully enclosed. Outside of this, young children should be supervised as there are low walls in places and steps that could be a hazard.
Outside
Fully enclosed area of garden to rear with garden furniture and barbecue. Sloping lawns, shrubs and hedges surround the property with steps leading down to the courtyard and parking area.
The local area
Bantham is well known for being one of South Devon’s best surf spots. Sitting at the mouth of the estuary with its shallow bathing waters, and large sandy beach and dunes, it provides a fantastic holiday base offering something for everyone. Frequented by families, water-sports enthusiasts and dog walkers, Bantham enjoys fantastic views across to Bigbury and the idyllic Burgh Island.
Up in the village there’s a small shop, Bantham Village Stores, which also serves breakfast with a stunning view from their terrace overlooking the river Avon, and The Sloop Inn where you can tuck into hearty portions of delicious homemade food and real ales. Meanwhile, if you’ve worked up an appetite on the beach, you can refuel at The Gastrobus in the beach car park where you’ll find a tempting array of locally produced hot and cold treats.
The main beach has lifeguard cover from May to October, and it is advisable to swim between the flags due to the tidal ebbs and flows. If you fancy taking the plunge and giving surfing a try, the Bantham Surfing Academy provides fantastic group and private lessons.
Bantham beach is a favourite spot for dog walkers, especially during the winter months. Dog restrictions apply on the main beach from May to September, however, you can walk your four-legged friend on the Avon estuary beach year-round, but be aware that this dog-friendly area is trickier to access at high tide.
A holiday cottage in Bantham offers traditional seaside holiday fun in an exceptionally scenic setting.
