Unique opportunity to take on one of one of the UK’s most spectacularly situated coastal homes.
Description
The property represents a once in a lifetime opportunity to take on and finish the specification and fit out of one of the UK’s most spectacularly situated coastal homes.
The bespoke design has been brought to life through impressive engineering, with the building being anchored to the bed rock, blending whitewashed elevations with steel and glass, culminating with a lighthouse feature at one end giving almost 360 degree views of the coastline.
The position combines privacy with a diverse range of breath-taking views, all set in around 3 acres, which includes a large area of foreshore, a private tidal beach area and coves.
Further details including an online data room, brochure and interior video tour available from the agents upon request.

Set between the beaches of Croyde and Saunton, the property is perfectly situated to take advantage of all that this wonderful section of the North Devon coastline has to offer.

The surrounding coastline is renowned for its unspoilt beauty, with much of it being owned and managed by The National Trust. Numerous spectacular cliffs, hidden coves and sandy beaches, with a hinterland of wild moorland, sparking river valleys and lush rolling hills, punctuate the timeless landscape.
