Rosalie

Situated in Bayview Road in Woolacombe, Rosalie enjoys a fantastic location, just minutes from the beach (so you can pop back for lunch rather than have sandy sandwiches!). Although only a short walk to the shops, bars, and places to eat, it is situated on a quiet, private, no through road. This cosy apartment has been tastefully furnished and has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an outdoor shower and 3 separate terraces looking out to sea. There are 2 off road car park spaces (and one “visitor” space available on a first come basis) and should you wish, you can park the car and not use it again all week!

The entrance is through a gate and down some steps passing the charming little garden and BBQ area with gorgeous sea views. Then down a few more steps to the front door next to the “Surfers Room”. This lockable shower room has a hanging rail for wet suits.
Once inside the apartment it is all on one level with an open plan living area. By the entrance, there is a utility cupboard with iron, ironing board, vacuum cleaner, floor mop etc. Immediately on your right is the family bathroom (newly fitted in February 2023) with bath, over shower and glass splash-screen, WC, hand basin and heated towel rail.

The well-equipped kitchen has a built-in electric oven and gas hob, under-counter dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, and freezer. In this area is the wall mounted gas boiler for central heating and hot water. Adjacent to the kitchen is the dining area with and extendable table.
The cosy living room has a Panasonic smart TV which is swivel wall mounted. There is unlimited fibre Wi-Fi.    

The main bedroom has a king size bed, a generous built in wardrobe (hairdryer provided), dressing table and a wall-mounted Freeview TV. Adjacent is a fully tiled shower room with WC, heated towel rail and hand basin. The second bedroom has two single (2’6”) divan beds, a dressing table with mirror, and a built-in wardrobe. The apartment provides an infant’s high chair and travel cot for visitors’ use.  

From the living area by the kitchen, glazed double doors lead out to a small sunny sheltered terrace. Ideal for morning coffee or an alfresco breakfast.

On the other, western, side of the apartment is another terrace with a six-seater table and chairs suitable for barbeques using the built in BBQ. The apartment also has a lovely fully securely fenced dog friendly garden with a small lawn and planted beds, with views out across Woolacombe Bay. There is a small lockable summerhouse in the garden holding the BBQ equipment and 2 sun loungers. There is also an outside tap and hose which can be used for rinsing off sand. Finally, attached to a wall and hidden from general view, is an anchor point for bike locks.

The charge for bringing your four-legged friend is just £20 per dog. Saturday changeover.

Rosalie is part of Parade House, one of the first houses to be built in the village, and the former home of Miss Rosalie Chichester, the 19th century founder of Woolacombe as a holiday resort. She owned most of the land in and around Woolacombe as part of her inherited Arlington Court Estate, which she gave to the National Trust in the 1940s. It is thanks to Rosalie’s gift that we can all enjoy free access for walking in the outstanding and protected coastal scenery the area provides.

Rosalie is a lovely property with an ideal location for a beachside holiday, so close to the village yet peacefully situated with plenty of outdoor options to enjoy.
