Description

Perched in an exceptional south-westerly position, The Anchorage commands uninterrupted, panoramic views sweeping across the magnificent expanse of Woolacombe Bay. From its elevated vantage point, the outlook stretches in excess of 180 degrees, encompassing golden, award-winning surfing beaches, the dramatic headlands of Baggy and Hartland Points, Morte Point, and the vast Atlantic Ocean, with Lundy Island set strikingly on the horizon. The ever-changing coastal backdrop provides a daily spectacle, with particularly captivating sunsets enhancing the home’s undeniable sense of occasion.

Tucked away towards the end of a private no-through road, the property enjoys a rare sense of seclusion while remaining within easy reach of the beach and village amenities. A nearby footpath offers a convenient route to Barricane and Combesgate beaches, while the rear garden adjoins National Trust land, complete with gated access—ideal for scenic walks and outdoor pursuits.

The Anchorage presents a genuinely rare opportunity to acquire a home in one of the area’s most coveted positions. The interiors are generously proportioned, filled with natural light, and thoughtfully arranged to maximise the remarkable coastal views. While well maintained, the property also offers considerable scope for enhancement or reconfiguration, subject to the necessary consents, allowing a purchaser to create a truly outstanding contemporary coastal residence.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating. A welcoming entrance hall provides access to the principal reception rooms. The impressive dual-aspect sitting room features a wide bay window with a built-in window seat, perfectly framing the sweeping sea views. A separate dining or family room mirrors this aspect, also enjoying a bay window and similarly captivating outlook.

The kitchen has been recently refurbished to create a chic and stylish modern space, thoughtfully designed with both form and function in mind. It offers a range of contemporary fitted units and integrated appliances, providing an elegant yet practical setting for everyday living and entertaining.

To the rear, a substantial utility and storage area provides excellent practical space, particularly suited to coastal living, with ample room for outdoor equipment and direct external access. A ground floor cloakroom completes this level.

Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal and second bedrooms benefit from the finest views across the bay and coastline, while the remaining bedrooms enjoy attractive outlooks towards the surrounding landscape and glimpses of the sea. A family bathroom and separate shower room serve the accommodation, and there is access to a generous loft space offering potential for conversion, subject to consent.

Externally, the property is approached via a newly enhanced frontage, where ample parking has been created alongside a newly constructed garage. Above the garage sits a self-contained studio apartment, thoughtfully arranged to include a kitchenette, living space and shower room—ideal for guests, ancillary accommodation or potential income.

A pathway leads through the beautifully landscaped, terraced front garden, richly planted with an array of mature shrubs and seasonal colour. To the front of the house, an expansive sun terrace spans the width of the property, enclosed by a sleek glass balustrade and perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the far-reaching coastal views—ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining.

To the rear, the garden enjoys a peaceful setting backing directly onto National Trust land, with gated access to miles of unspoilt coastal countryside.

The Anchorage represents an exceptional coastal home of rare distinction, combining an enviable position, breathtaking views, and exciting potential. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that this remarkable property has to offer.
