The property:
… just over ½ mile from Welcombe Mouth beach, surrounded by meadows and woods, is Meadowgate, a large, totally secluded detached house belonging to Kirstie Allsopp (and featured in her Channel 4 show 'Kirstie's Homemade Home'). It stands in its own big garden set back from the little-used access lane. Recently (2009), it’s been completely renovated, refurbished, brought to life and made into a home. Opposite the front gate, a footpath through Nat. Trust bluebell woods down to the cove beach. Inside, full of colour, fun and family comfort with wood, slate or tiled floors. Just about everything has been provided for your comfort/convenience.
