Welcome to this extensively extended and comprehensively renovated contemporary home, beautifully presented and perfect for modern family living. Nestled in a tranquil, sunny south-facing location, this stunning property is elevated above the highly sought-after coastal village of Woolacombe. From here, you can enjoy outstanding, far-reaching views down the valley, across the village, and over the golden sand surfing beaches to Baggy and Hartland Points, and across Woolacombe Bay to Lundy Island.
Situated on a generous private plot of approximately 1/3 acre, this home boasts a sweeping driveway providing ample off-road parking for several vehicles, leading to a large integral garage and a covered outdoor shower—ideal for rinsing off after a day at the beach.
The home is ideal as a permanent residence or as a high-quality holiday home/holiday let. Projected income from holiday letting for the year is £67,000 with peak weekly rates around £4,000. This fabulous level of potential income really does make this a very attractive investment opportunity.
The property has modern clean lines and white rendered elevations set off against graphite coloured double glazed windows at door on the rear elevation and low maintenance cladding. There is gas fired underfloor heating throughout with zoned controls and a Nest lighting system installed (requires connection).
Step inside to admire the stunning, high-specification, light-filled accommodation. At the heart of the home is a 27-foot long, dual-aspect living room and kitchen, featuring over 22 feet of glazed bi-folding doors. These doors perfectly frame the wonderful coastal vista and open onto a huge south-facing sunny terrace, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
The sleek and stylish kitchen area is complemented by composite work surfaces and a range of integrated appliances, including two ovens, an electric hob with extractor canopy, a microwave, and housing for an American-style fridge/freezer. A large breakfast bar, perfect for casual family dining and morning coffee, houses a sink with a Quooker boiler tap, waste disposal, a dishwasher, and a wine cooler. A solid wood floor extends through the room to the lounge area, offering plenty of space for relaxing and entertaining.
The ground floor features two double-sized bedrooms, served by a well-appointed, tiled shower room with contemporary fittings, making it ideal for elderly or less-abled residents. The hallway offers excellent storage options and connects via a personnel door to the large integral garage.
The entire first floor is devoted to a luxurious master bedroom suite, though the space and setup of the accommodation can be adapted to suit the needs of the occupants. The fabulous bedroom enjoys views down the valley to the beach, bay, and sea, directly from the bed. A Juliet balcony adds an elegant touch. The large dressing area could be modified to create a fourth bedroom if needed, and the opulent bathroom features a large walk-in shower, separate bath, twin hand basins, and a toilet, all complemented by elegant tiling.
Outside, at road level, there is a visitor parking area with space for three vehicles. A tarmacked driveway sweeps down to the front door, providing easy access, with further parking spaces available. A recessed covered porch area provides entry to the integral garage, which has an electrically operated door and can offer covered, secure parking or storage/workshop space. At the rear of the garage is a utility area with a sink and a rear door to a lean-to store and garden access. Don't forget the handy outdoor shower too.
The stunning raised wraparound sun terrace is a standout feature of this splendid home, perfect for outdoor entertaining, dining, barbecues, sunbathing, and taking in the jaw-dropping sunsets throughout the year. Terraced lawned gardens with levelled areas provide ample space for children’s play, including a climbing wall. The enclosed boundaries make the gardens pet-friendly, and a gated access onto a rear lane offers a shorter route to the village amenities and beaches.
This fine example of a modern-day coastal home is not to be missed!
Woolacombe sits on the rugged North Devon coast and amidst the surrounding National Trust land, and is an extremely popular and well known village throughout the UK primarily due to its stunning golden sand beach. Many visitors flock to the area throughout the year but especially through the summer months. The village has an array of facilities which include small independent shops, a selection of cafes, bars and restaurants to suit all pockets and tastes, a medical centre, pharmacy and a primary school which has an 'outstanding' rating from Ofsted. As well as the 2½ miles of golden sand that stretch across to Putsborough, there are Barricane and Combesgate beaches which have rock pools to explore and the former having a beachside kiosk selling delicious Sri Lankan curries through the summer season. There is also Grunta beach which is a smaller and quieter private cove. The surrounding National Trust land and the South West Coastal Footpath provides miles and miles of walking to enjoy some of the finest coastal scenery on offer. There are a variety of leisure facilities and excellent nearby golf courses with the best known being the two links courses at Saunton, one of which is at championship standard. The Exmoor National Park is also just a short drive away.
