Sanfield House

Sanfield House is set in an enviable position, surrounded by the glorious North Devon countryside. It benefits from sea views of Saunton Sands, one of the area’s superb surfing beaches. The vast garden, mostly lawned, is ideal for relaxing or for children to enjoy ball games and burn off excess energy! Situated in the quiet hamlet of Lobb, it is within easy reach of the vibrant village of Braunton, which offers an array of independent shops, cafes, restaurants, and pubs. It is also just 1 mile from the picture-perfect beach at Saunton Sands – ideal for a bucket-and-spade holiday or for those learning to surf. The popular beach at Croyde is just 1 mile farther around the headland.

There is ample private driveway parking right outside the house. A porch from the driveway leads into the property. The well-equipped kitchen is light and airy, featuring cream, country-style units and a breakfast bar where you can enjoy the view with your morning coffee. Fabulous views are also enjoyed from the living room, which has comfortable seating, a feature stone fire surround, and a TV. The dining area sits at one end, where family and friends can enjoy quality meals together while watching the sunset over the distant sand dunes. From the hallway, you can access the utility room with laundry facilities, and tucked into a corner is a convenient electric shower unit. A handy cloakroom/WC is adjacent. The garage, also accessed from the hallway, contains a pool table and ample storage space for surfboards, bikes, and more. A separate building within the garden contains a table tennis set—perfect for a little holiday competition.

Upstairs on the first floor are the three bedrooms. The master bedroom features a king-size bed with a handy corner sink and delightful views, which are shared by the adjacent twin room. The third bedroom has bunk beds, suitable only for children. Also on the first floor is the family bathroom, which includes a shower over the bath with a shower screen, a heated towel rail, a WC, and a washbasin. Outside in the garden, you can enjoy the spectacular views, play games on the large lawn with the children, or light up the BBQ on warm summer nights for a family feast outdoors.

The bustling village of Braunton is only a short drive away (1 mile) and offers an array of independent shops and eateries. The magnificent sandy beach of Saunton Sands is just a 5-minute drive away, with the surfing beach at Croyde a further 5 minutes on. For those wanting a day away from the beach, Saunton Golf Club is nearby and is considered one of the leading golf courses in the UK. There are plenty of other attractions nearby, including the inspiring Exmoor National Park, Watermouth Family Theme Park and Castle (12 miles), Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park (15 miles), and Exmoor Zoo (18 miles).

Sanfield House is a great place for families and friends to enjoy their well-earned holiday. It offers a rare combination of a secluded location with ample outdoor space and sea views, yet it’s only a short distance from essential holiday amenities and activities. It’s perfect for your next family holiday—you’ll want to come back time and time again.

“Enjoyed our stay at Sanfield house which is located between the nearest town Braunton and beaches, each with only 5-10 mins drive. We went to the beautiful Croyde beach for surfing every day. The house also has a large and wide garden where you can have nice sea views and walk around after meals. The pool table and ping pong table are extra bonus for some entertainment. ”
