An architect-designed detached bungalow offering 2,575 sq ft of flexible living on a large corner plot, with uninterrupted sea and countryside views. The home’s double-height sitting room, exposed beams and full-height glazing create an immediate sense of light and space, while the wraparound landscaped garden, terraces and private courtyard extend living outdoors. The upper ground floor accommodates three double bedrooms, a study/single bedroom and two bathrooms; the lower level provides useful storage, shower/cloakroom facilities and two garage/workrooms.
Practical positives include built-in Neff appliances in the generous triple-aspect kitchen/breakfast room, off-street parking/boat storage in front of the garages, and oil-fired boiler with radiators. The property sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty close to Thurlestone Sands, village amenities, a good primary school and the South West Coast Path — attractive for buyers seeking coastal lifestyle and accessible village facilities.
Notable considerations: the house dates from the late 1960s–1970s and has cavity walls assumed without insulation, which will affect energy efficiency. Heating is oil-fuelled (not a community supply) and double glazing was added post-2002; broadband speeds in the area are slow. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors make the house ideal for buyers prioritising location, space and character, but who are prepared to invest in energy upgrades or accept higher running costs.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful coastal home with strong lifestyle appeal and clear potential for updating to improve thermal performance and connectivity.
