Description

A Coastal Gem! Enjoying uninterrupted views across Woolacombe Beach and the sea from the private patio, sitting room and two of the three bedrooms. With the added addition of private parking!

Enviably located in an elevated position on a highly regarded private road, this exceptionally spacious and beautifully presented period apartment enjoys uninterrupted views over Woolacombe beach, the sea, and the surrounding coastline. Offering a rare combination of character, space, and location, the property is further enhanced by a substantial private sun terrace—measuring approximately nine metres square—and a generously proportioned, designated parking space large enough to accommodate even the largest 4x4 with ease.

Bentley Court began life as a grand Victorian hotel, and the apartment’s impressive proportions reflect its heritage. Located on the raised ground floor, this residence occupies what were once the main reception rooms, now transformed into a welcoming and elegant coastal home. High ceilings and large windows fill the apartment with natural light, while period features lend a sense of timeless charm.

The wide entrance hallway provides access to a wonderfully bright sitting room, where sliding patio doors open onto the private sun terrace—a tranquil space to relax, entertain, and take in the spectacular views stretching across the beach to the sea and beyond. The master bedroom also enjoys a prime position at the front of the property, with a beautiful bay window framing the same breathtaking coastal outlook, creating a truly inspiring place to begin each day. Adjacent to the master is a comfortable third double bedroom, also benefitting from the exceptional views.

Along the opposite side of the hallway is a particularly spacious second double bedroom, as well as a stylishly appointed shower room and a useful storage or linen cupboard. Moving toward the rear of the apartment, you’ll find a large family bathroom complete with a corner bath, separate shower cubicle, and a skylight that bathes the room in natural daylight.

The kitchen and dining room retain much of the Victorian character, featuring a striking period fireplace and hearth that serve as the focal point of the room. Ample cabinetry and an open pantry provide excellent storage, making this both a functional and atmospheric space for cooking and dining.

Outside, the substantial sun terrace provides an unrivalled vantage point from which to enjoy the sweeping beach and coastal views, while the dedicated parking space directly opposite adds everyday convenience—an increasingly rare advantage in such a sought-after location.

In summary, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, character-filled coastal apartment in a well-maintained Victorian building, with private outdoor space and parking. Ideal as a main residence, second home, or an income-producing holiday investment, this unique property combines history, elegance, and modern comfort in one of North Devon’s most desirable seaside settings.

Lease Information

Balance of a 999 year lease. The apartment would be responsible for one third of maintenance costs to the front (seaward facing) elevations of the building and one quarter of other costs (buildings insurance etc).

Agents Note

The current owner has built a substantial business letting out the third bedroom and associated shower room on Airbandb. The layout of the apartment means that these rooms can be provided with their own external entrance door and can be closed off the rest of the apartment, providing in effect a self contained annexe, capable of producing a significant income.
