Set on a generous plot on Bay View Road, this detached four-bedroom home delivers commanding panoramic sea views across the estuary to Lundy Island and Saunton Sands. The property is laid out for flexible family living with a large open-plan kitchen/diner/family room, dual-aspect lounge, and a downstairs room that can serve as a bedroom, media room or home office. Outside, manicured front and rear gardens, a balcony, hot tub, workshop/studio and a large double garage add practical space for hobbies and vehicles.
The principal bedroom benefits from a dressing area, balcony access and a hidden ensuite; two further double bedrooms include built-in storage and an additional ensuite. The house is presented in good decorative order with modern fixtures, underfloor heating to the kitchen area, double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The site also includes electric gates and a wide paved driveway with room for multiple vehicles, a motorhome or boat.
Notable positives are the spectacular coastal outlook, extensive gardens with a kitchen plot and separate studio, and practical garaging. Important facts to consider: the property dates from the 1950s–60s with cavity walls likely lacking added insulation, council tax sits above average (Band E), and the EPC is C. Buyers should verify all tenure, services and planning details; some features (glazing install date, wall insulation) are assumed and may need updating.
This home will suit families or buyers relocating to the North Devon coast who prioritise space, privacy and sea views while accepting the maintenance and potential energy-improvement work often associated with older, well-loved houses.
