Set on high ground above Mortehoe and Woolacombe, this 1922 detached home occupies approximately 6.9 acres including a 5‑acre paddock and enjoys sweeping coastal and countryside views. Many original 1920s features remain, and principal rooms take full advantage of virtually 270° panoramas to Woolacombe Bay and beyond. The mature, largely lawned grounds and long gated drive give genuine seclusion while remaining within easy reach of local beaches and village amenities.
The house offers versatile family accommodation across two storeys: porch, hall, two cloakrooms, shower room, sitting and dining rooms, breakfast room, kitchen, utility/boiler room, five bedrooms, family bathroom and separate WC. The property has double glazing installed post‑2002 and oil‑fired central heating. Ample parking and space for motorhome or equestrian use add practical value for country or coastal lifestyles.
This is a genuine renovation opportunity. The interior would benefit from general updating and modernisation; the vendor describes the 1.9 acre formal garden as a ‘blank canvas’ for landscaping. There is scope to extend or redevelop subject to planning (STPP), and the wider holding can be increased with more land by separate negotiation. Buyers should note private drainage, oil heating, EPC band E and a Council Tax Band G — all factual running‑cost considerations.
For buyers after a spacious family home, smallholding or second/holiday residence with substantial grounds and exceptional sea views, this property offers rare scope and privacy. Investors or developers may also value the plot size and potential to apply for extensions or change of use, subject to the necessary consents.
