This beautifully presented property enjoys views over the village and Woolacombe Bay to Baggy and Hartland Points and off to Lundy Island in the distance. The privately owned balcony benefits from the sea and coastal views and catches the afternoon and evening sun from its west facing position and is a great vantage point from which to marvel at the stunning sunsets over the bay throughout the year.

Part of the prestigious Byron development, this top floor apartment holds a commanding position within the building. Step inside to discover a bright and airy and contemporary open plan living/dining room and kitchen, adorned with sleek modern fixtures and top-of-the-line integrated appliances.

This property serves as a high-quality second home at present and the owners have chosen not to holiday let it and therefore it remains in A1 condition throughout. However, the apartments at Byron do lend themselves very well to successful holiday letting throughout the year with the potential to generate an excellent annual income. With Byron's in-house and exclusive holiday letting management services available at a competitive 12% fee, all your needs will be taken care of effortlessly should you decide to go down this route. Rental income projections for this apartment are around £xx, xxx per annum.

Situated in the heart of this stunning coastal village, renowned throughout the UK as a hugely popular destination for family holidays and weekend breaks, the apartment is just a couple of hundred metres from the beach. Local shops, bars, and restaurants are all within a short stroll, ensuring you'll have everything you need at your fingertips.

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 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.

Barnstaple is North Devon's main trading centre and is approximately 12 miles away and has many of the bigger name shops, a rail link to Exeter which has direct trains to London, and direct access to the main A361 North Devon Link Road which joins the M5 at junction 27. There is a helipad at Chivenor and the nearest airports are at Exeter and Bristol.

This apartment and the superb onsite facilities can only be fully appreciated by an internal inspection.

The annual ground rent is £450. Pets are allowed within the building with written consent from the Management Company. There is no restriction on holiday or assured shorthold letting.

We advise you check your own personal circumstances in this regard.

There is also an Owner's Portal and online booking system to monitor lettings and book any personal stays real-time. The letting service is charged at a competitive 12% commission which is another great attraction, whereas some alternative third parties may charge upwards of 20%. Of course, this is an optional service and owners may handle any lettings directly should they wish to do so.<br/>Applicants are advised to proceed from our offices in a westerly direction heading out of town on the A361 sign post Barnstaple. At Mullacott Cross roundabout take the right hand exit sign post Woolacombe & Mortehoe and follow along this road for approximately 4 miles into the centre of the village.
