Description
Situation - Situated approximately 400 yards from the unspoilt and picturesque, North Devon Coastline and the world famous, South West Coast Path (Salt Path), the development plot/barn is situated at the western edge of Westward Ho!
A favoured destination for surfers, and watersports enthusiasts, Westward Ho! is renowned for its consistent surf and it's beautiful, award winning, 2-mile long, 'Blue Flag' sandy beach, famously backed by its unique natural pebble ridge, The Northam Burrows Country Park (Site of Special Scientific Interest) and Royal North Devon Golf Club (the oldest golf course in England) are both located on the peninsula. The village hosts a large and diverse range of amenities including; two supermarkets, independent and artisan shops and an extensive choice of establishments of restaurants, pubs & cafes.
The port town of Bideford extends a wider range of facilities; including; a large assortment of shops, banks, pubs/restaurants/cafes and schooling for all ages (public and private), several supermarkets and a retail complex. The costal resorts of Appledore and Instow are close by and offer a mixture of sandy beaches, fine pubs/restaurants and a historic quay amongst other amenities and attractions. The A39/North Devon Link Road (1 mile) provides brisk passage in/out of the area, to the regional centre of Barnstaple (11 miles) and M5 motorway Tiverton Parkway train station (London Paddington 1h 57m)
Description - 'West Barn' has been conceived and designed in partnership with an established and award-winning architectural practice. The position of the proposed property affords an incredible opportunity to create an exceptional, bespoke 'lifestyle' property and a truly enviable and impressive home. The finished property has been thoughtfully designed, taking advantage of some of the finest, coastal views in the South-West. The site is currently occupied by a large timber framed & clad building (60'0"x40'0") with concrete floor, level grounds surrounding the barn and good access.
The approved design promotes reverse-level living, taking advantage of the fantastic, coastal position. The Ground Floor currently includes; 4 double bedrooms (2 ensuite), family bathroom and utility room. The FIRST FLOOR includes; a contemporary kitchen/dining/living space, study, cloakroom and living room, with glazed wall of bi-fold doors opening to the balcony/terrace.
Outside, the level gardens/grounds offer a creative opportunity for the new owner. The proposed landscaping has purposefully been kept fairy minimal, with the boundaries to be formed by a Devon hedge bank, offering increased screening, combined with planted beds/landscaping and grassed lawns. The driveway will provide a hardstanding area and parking for multiple vehicles.
