Torbrook House · Instow · Sleeps 10 · Estuary Views & Sun DeckNew

From the lane it looks like a bungalow. Open the door and the estuary's right there — bi-folds wide open, sun deck stretched out in front of you, and one of North Devon's best seafood restaurants five minutes down the road. DESCRIPTION Most North Devon holiday homes give you a view through glass. Torbrook gives you bi-fold doors that disappear into the wall — and suddenly there's no glass, just a south-facing sun deck and the Torridge estuary in front of you. Five bedrooms. Three bathrooms. Sleeps ten. A log burner for the evenings, Instow beach five minutes on foot, and the kind of view that makes the rest of the holiday feel like an afterthought. From the lane, you wouldn't know. The house presents as a bungalow from the road. Walk through it and the scale unfolds — a triple-aspect sitting room with French doors to the terrace, an open-plan kitchen with a central island, and the sun deck running the full width of the back. Four of the five bedrooms have estuary views. Two have their own private balconies and ensuites. The family bathroom has a freestanding bath, a drench shower, and a window framing the water — possibly the best bath view in the village. Below the deck, a mature secluded garden. Out front, a private drive for up to five cars. The whole house, entirely yours.
