Situation & Amenities - Putsborough Beach is a stunning beach located in North Devon. It is known for its beautiful sandy shores and the Baggy Head Peninsula which acts as a buffer for the winds that come from the South West. This natural characteristic, makes it less windy than the neighbouring beach of Woolacombe. The beach offers good waves for body boarding and, given the right weather conditions, surfing. The beach is generally less crowded than its neighbouring beaches; Croyde, Saunton and Woolacombe, making it an ideal location for families. It features lovely rock pools that are home to baby crabs, shrimps and tiny fish, adding an extra element of fun for visitors. Putsborough is around ¾ mile north of the village of Croyde and 1 mile west
orth west to the village of Georgeham. Putsborough Sands, forms the southern part of the 2 mile long beach of Woolacome Sands on Morte Bay. Magnolia occupies a frontline cliff top position, looking directly down onto Putsborough Sands and to the ocean beyond. The property is just a short stroll from the magnificent beach.

Description - Magnolia is located in a fabulous position, from where the most magnificent coastal and sea views may be enjoyed. This is particularly rare opportunity to acquire a property in a highly desired and exceptional setting, ripe for re-development. The existing, mature detached bungalow has been in the same families’ ownership for many years and has been used for family holidays, but has become surplus to requirements. Properties seldom change hands in this most exclusive stretch of coastline and the opportunity is not only to purchase a property, but to design and build a replacement ‘Grand Design’ residence to occupy and enjoy for generations to come. The layout of the existing bungalow is more clearly identified upon the accompanying floorplan. Also featured here is a design for a potential replacement dwelling, commissioned by the existing vendors. THIS DOES NOT HAVE CONSENT but is provided to give an idea as to what could potentially be achieved (subject to consent). Details of the architect who prepared these drawings can be provided upon request and they can also potentially be consulted about planning dialogue to date. They will also be willing, by agreement to act for a new purchaser, if required.

Services - Mains, water and electricity. Private drainage.

Directions - From Barnstaple take the A361, sign posted ‘Braunton’. At Braunton centre turn left after the traffic lights in the square, onto the Saunton/Croyde road.
