5 Bedroom Detached House

Thoughtfully designed to maximise its superb coastal position, this exceptional home offers an impressive combination of space, style and far-reaching sea views.

On entering the property, a generous and welcoming entrance hall immediately sets the tone for the accommodation. From here there is access to a useful cloakroom, fitted with a concealed cistern W.C. and wash basin with vanity unit below, together with a cloaks cupboard, integral access to the garage and stairs leading to both the upper and lower floors.

Occupying the top floor is the outstanding 32ft kitchen/dining/family room, undoubtedly the heart of the home. This wonderfully sociable space has been designed to take full advantage of the coastal setting, with wide sliding doors opening onto a large sea-facing balcony and framing a magnificent panoramic outlook extending from Lundy Island towards Saunton Sands.

The stylish kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of units complemented by granite work surfaces and incorporates an inset 1½ bowl sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include a double oven, hob with downdraft extractor, fridge, freezer and dishwasher. A central island with breakfast bar provides additional storage and an informal dining area, while ample space remains for comfortable lounge and dining furniture. The adjoining balcony creates a natural extension of the living space and provides an enviable setting from which to enjoy the views and spectacular sunsets.

The lower ground floor is arranged around a spacious hallway with linen storage and a useful understairs cupboard. There are three further double bedrooms on this level, one benefiting from an en-suite shower room with concealed cistern W.C., wash basin with vanity unit and heated towel rail. A well-appointed family bathroom comprises a bath with shower over, concealed cistern W.C., wash basin with vanity unit and heated towel rail.

The rear bedroom has direct access outside. The layout of this floor lends itself to a variety of uses, making it ideal for guests or home working, while also offering potential for dual occupancy or the creation of self-contained accommodation for holiday letting or additional income, subject to any necessary consents.

This is an exceptional seaside home offering flexible, beautifully presented accommodation and a wonderful lifestyle opportunity on the North Devon coast.

OUTSIDE & PARKING

The property is approached over a private driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to a large integral garage, fitted with an electric up-and-over door, light and power, together with an internal door to the entrance hall. The garage is currently utilised as a game’s room.

Designed with ease of maintenance in mind, the outside spaces complement the coastal setting perfectly. Two sea-facing balconies provide excellent opportunities for outdoor relaxation, with the larger balcony adjoining the kitchen/dining/family room offering an idyllic spot for morning coffee, alfresco dining or simply watching the sun set over the horizon.

From the lower ground floor there is access to a manageable courtyard garden, attractively stocked with a variety of plants and flowers. Side access leads to a further rear courtyard, providing a particularly useful area for storing surfboards, wetsuits and other outdoor equipment, with two lockable gates to access the ground floor. The property also benefits from a convenient outside shower, ideal for rinsing off sand after a day at the beach or washing down surfboards and beach equipment.

The sandy beach, sea pool and South West Coast Path are all within a short walk, further enhancing the appeal of this superb coastal home.
