Higher Gorse

Higher Gorse is a delightful house resting in Roundswell, Devon, featuring off-road parking, an enclosed garden, and a bright open-plan living space near the coast.

Ideal for families, friends, or couples travelling together, this inviting holiday home places you within easy reach of North Devon’s beautiful beaches while providing a welcoming base for every part of your stay.

Arrive and make use of the off-road parking before stepping inside to discover a thoughtfully arranged open-plan living area where the kitchen, dining space, and sitting area come together in one sociable setting.

Mornings can begin with breakfast around the dining table as plans are made for the day ahead, while evenings invite everyone back together to share meals, conversation, and favourite films on the Smart TV.

The kitchen is equipped for preparing everything from quick snacks to hearty holiday suppers, allowing the group chef to enjoy cooking while remaining part of the action.

When it is time to unwind, head outside to the enclosed garden, where a lawn and patio provide a pleasant spot for dining alfresco, watching children play, or enjoying the fresh Devon air with your canine companion.

As the day draws to a close, three well-presented bedrooms await.

The principal king-size room benefits from its own en-suite walk-in shower, while a second king-size bedroom and a double room offer flexible sleeping arrangements.

A family bathroom and additional cloakroom help make mornings and evenings run smoothly.

Beyond the property, explore nearby Barnstaple, home to the historic Pannier Market, Barnstaple Museum, and pleasant walks along the River Taw.

Spend a day in Instow, where sandy shores, coastal scenery, and waterside strolls make for memorable family outings.

Venture to Ilfracombe to discover Tunnels Beaches, admire Damien Hirst’s Verity sculpture, and visit the fascinating Ilfracombe Aquarium.

Whether you're drawn to the coastline, local heritage, or outdoor adventures, Higher Gorse offers a wonderful base for discovering North Devon.
