The Estate

Nestled within a highly sought-after coastal area, this beautifully restored property combines historical charm with modern amenities. Boasting panoramic views that stretch across the rolling hills to Baggy Point, Lundy, and beyond, the estate's vistas will leave you speechless. Spanning over an acre, the grounds are meticulously landscaped, offering versatile outdoor spaces that cater to a range of activities—from serene relaxation to the potential for a small pony paddock or even a mini-farm with goats and chickens.

The Main Residence- The Retreat 

Step inside this thoughtfully renovated four-bedroom home and be greeted by a blend of timeless character and contemporary luxury. The journey begins with a welcoming boot room, ideal for transitioning from a day spent exploring your gardens or local beaches. The stunning wooden floors guide you into the heart of the home—the kitchen diner. Here, modern high-gloss cream cabinetry is paired with integrated appliances, including a coveted boiling water tap. The space easily accommodates a large dining table, where you can dine with uninterrupted views of the spectacular countryside.

The ground floor continues with a versatile hall area, offering ample space for a home office, utility room, and WC. The double doors lead into the impressive sitting room—a private sanctuary with breathtaking views and generous proportions, perfect for both intimate gatherings and larger soirees.

Upstairs, the home continues to impress with four spacious bedrooms. Three of the rooms are large doubles, one of which features a charming window seat where you can unwind while soaking in the coastal scenery. The master suite is a true retreat, complete with a luxurious dressing area and an ensuite shower room. The family bathroom is equally delightful, with elegant royal blue accents, a full bath, shower, and all essential amenities.

Holiday Lets- Owl, House Martin and Swallow 

In addition to the main residence, the estate includes three beautifully presented holiday lets, each designed to offer guests a perfect blend of comfort and style. The largest of the three, "Owl," accommodates up to eight guests across four bedrooms. It features a spacious living area with exposed stone walls, a cozy log burner, and a well-equipped kitchen diner. "House Martin" and "Swallow" each offer two bedrooms and can comfortably sleep four guests. All holiday lets come fully furnished, allowing you to seamlessly step into a turnkey business operation. You can even enjoy the hot tub whilst watching the sun set over the coastline. 

Outdoor Living

The exterior of the property is as impressive as the interior, with meticulously maintained gardens that surround the home. The expansive tarmac driveway leads to a large gravel parking area, offering ample space for multiple vehicles. Guests can enjoy their own private garden areas, complete with paved decks perfect for relaxing or entertaining while taking in the serene views. A dedicated lawn area next to the patio provides a superb setting for outdoor dining, with occasional visits from neighboring cows adding to the countryside charm.

The remainder of the garden is securely enclosed, offering plenty of space for dog exercising, or to create your own smallholding. Whether you envision keeping a pony, or raising chickens and goats, this property offers the flexibility to create your dream rural lifestyle.

This magnificent estate not only offers a breathtaking home but also a ready-made business, set in one of the most stunning locations North Devon has to offer. To experience the unparalleled charm and potential of this unique property, contact us today for a private viewing.
