Folly Rise occupies an elevated half-acre plot in sought-after Bigbury-on-Sea, with uninterrupted panoramic views of the beach, sea and Burgh Island. The house's substantial, flexible layout — including a self-contained lower section — is ideal for multi-generational living, guests or a potential rental annexe.
The property retains practical features such as solar panels and a garage, plus a private pedestrian path giving direct access to the beach. Terraced lawns and mature borders provide many outdoor vantage points and scope for re-landscaping or further garden development, subject to planning consent.
The house requires updating throughout; bathrooms, kitchen fittings and general decor will need renewal and modernising. Broadband is very slow locally and council tax is high, so running costs and connectivity should be considered. The property's scale, plot and views, however, offer clear potential to create a bespoke coastal residence once renovated.
This is a rare opportunity for buyers seeking an established coastal position with significant accommodation and private beach access. For families or buyers planning multi-generational occupancy or holiday-let potential, the layout and location deliver strong long-term appeal, provided the renovation and ongoing costs fit your plans.
