Furzehill Road, Heybrook Bay

An elevated modern coastal home with sweeping views across the sea and a beautifully flowing layout designed to connect inside and out.

Tucked into the beautiful valley above the shoreline at Heybrook Bay, this light-filled five-bedroom home presents a joyful, modern interpretation of coastal living. A home built with intention-originally in 1965 and thoughtfully extended and remodelled just seven years ago-it's a space where sea, sky and light take centre stage.

From the moment you enter, there's an unmistakable sense of calm. The interior palette is soft and fresh, grounded by oak flooring and warmed by natural sunlight that floods through large picture windows framing uninterrupted views across the bay.

On the first floor, an expansive open-plan living space flows seamlessly from kitchen/dining to a sitting area, with French doors opening out onto a generous wraparound decked balcony. This stunning coastal home is perfectly poised to capture the daily drama of sea and sky-sunset-watching becomes second nature here. The kitchen itself is beautifully considered: shaker-style cabinetry, a central island for gathering, and sightlines that draw the outdoors in. It's a space made for relaxed family life, but just as suited to entertaining.

Also on this floor are two generous bedrooms-one with en suite and the other with sea views-and a family shower room. The sense of space continues upward, where a versatile family room or study connects to the garden via a footbridge, offering a flexible retreat for work, play or quiet reflection. The principal bedroom sits peacefully on this level, with Juliet balcony overlooking the sea and a luxurious en suite complete with both bath and shower.

On the ground floor, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom open up further possibilities-whether for visiting guests, older children, or to reconfigure as a self-contained annexe if desired. There's also a large family / play room offering further flexibility, where you can enjoy direct access to a spacious paved area with stunning sea views which are accessible from every room except the bathroom.

Outside, steps lead up to a spectacular raised deck: a peaceful spot with panoramic views, ideal for al fresco dining, morning coffee, or simply soaking in the peaceful rhythm of the coast. There's also a generous garden, ample driveway parking and a spacious detached storage building-a practical alternative to a garage.

Heybrook Bay is a quiet coastal enclave set within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It's a place favoured by those in the know-close enough to Plymouth (just 7 miles) to be convenient, yet far enough removed to feel like a true escape. The South West Coast Path, managed by the National Trust, lies just a few meters from the front door leading west to Bovisand with its sandy coves and views over Plymouth Sound, and east over the coastal footpath towards Wembury Point and beyond, the area is a thriving natural habitat adorned with wildflowers, roaming wild ponies, and a haven for birdwatchers. Wembury Beach's famous rock pools and the much-loved Old Mill Café make a great destination point when leaving the house for a coastal walk.

The Eddystone Inn, just moments away, serves as the village's social hub with excellent pub food and a panoramic sea-facing terrace. Nearby Down Thomas has a Post Office, village store and the renowned Mussel Inn. Wembury, 1.5 miles away, offers further amenities and a well-regarded primary school, while Plymstock and central Plymouth provide broader services, shopping and secondary schools.

What makes Heybrook Bay particularly special is its sense of community. Tucked between the Yealm and Plymouth Sound, surrounded by National Trust land, it remains largely undiscovered by tourists. Locals enjoy paddleboarding, kayaking and sea swimming from its beautiful cove just a few minutes’ walk from the property, with regular sightings of dolphins, seals and even the occasional whale.

Within easy reach of excellent transport links and shopping facilities, seven miles to Plymouth, with quick access to the A38 for Exeter, the M5, and beyond. Plymouth Railway Station provides a vital and efficient link to London Paddington with regular direct services typically taking around three to four hours. This connection makes the city exceptionally accessible for those balancing coastal living with city commitments.
