Sellers insight

"From the moment we stepped into this home, we were captivated by the
sheer sense of space, light, and serenity it offered. The rooms are beautifully proportioned, each one designed to take full advantage of the breathtaking 180-degree sea views — a daily reminder of how special this location truly is.
We’ve spent countless peaceful mornings and golden evenings on the balcony, watching the changing colours of the sea and sky. The garden has been a true haven — thoughtfully landscaped with low-maintenance planting and designed with a series of ‘zones’ that offer different places to sit, relax, or entertain. The firepit — imported from Canada — has been a striking centrepiece for many memorable evenings with friends and family, its unique combination of fire and water always a talking point.
Having direct access from the bottom of the garden to the South West Coast Path has been a daily luxury. Whether it’s a quiet walk along the cliffs, a chat with local fishermen on the beach to pick up fresh catch, or a stroll to the beachside café, there’s a rhythm of life here that feels both grounding and uplifting. We swim year-round in the pool — a wonderful space enhanced with Millboard decking, resistance swimming features, and a hot tub, making it as enjoyable in winter as in summer.
Entertaining has always been a joy here. The layout flows beautifully, and there’s room for everyone — from large family gatherings to intimate evenings with close friends. The Sonos speaker system, discreetly installed in all key rooms, ensures the soundtrack is always just right.
For us, the property’s eco-conscious features have made a huge difference — from the heat exchange ventilation system, which delivers clean, fresh air throughout, to the water filtration system that’s eliminated limescale entirely. It’s a smart, efficient home, and it feels it.
Practicality hasn’t been forgotten either: from the extensive parking to the well-equipped greenhouse with heating, lighting, and blinds — perfect for nurturing plants year-round. The security system, fibre broadband, and modern kitchen touches like the Quooker tap make day-to-day life incredibly easy and secure.
The community here has also been a huge part of what’s made living in this home so special. From sailing, tennis, and cricket to book and music festivals, there’s a genuine vibrancy to the area. East Devon Golf Club, one of the county’s top courses, is just up the road.
It’s hard to summarise a lifestyle so rich and rewarding in just a few words — but for us, this home has offered a true escape: peaceful, beautiful, and filled with memories. We hope the next owners will feel just the same.”
