Summary - ASHLEY MORTEHOE STATION ROAD WOOLACOMBE EX34 7EZ
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious rural home with extensive grounds and panoramic sea views.
5 bedrooms, multiple reception rooms and original 1920s features
Set on high ground above Mortehoe and Woolacombe, this substantial 1922 detached house sits within about 21.12 acres of lawn and pasture and enjoys sweeping, almost 270° sea and coastal views to Woolacombe Bay, Hartland Point and beyond. The main house offers generous, characterful rooms across two storeys — sitting room, dining room, breakfast room, kitchen, utility/boiler room, two cloakrooms, shower room, five bedrooms, family bathroom and separate WC. Ample parking and a long private drive complete the setting.
The property retains many original 1920s features and double glazing installed after 2002, but it is a clear renovation project. The house would benefit from general updating throughout, improved insulation (cavity walls assumed uninsulated), and internal modernisation to realise its full potential. Heating is oil-fired via a boiler and domestic drainage is private; the EPC is Band E.
Externally the immediate gardens (about 1.9 acres) are described as a “blank canvas” for landscaping, while the adjoining 19.2 acres of pasture offer opportunities for equestrian use, smallholding, outbuildings or possible subdivision/redevelopment subject to planning permission (stpp). Important practical notes: council tax is high (Band G), some works will be required to bring the house fully up to modern standards, and any extension or change of use requires consent.
This property will appeal to buyers seeking a secluded coastal country home with substantial land — families wanting space and views, buyers seeking an equestrian or smallholding base, or investors looking at redevelopment potential stpp. Its value drivers are the rare plot size, elevated coastal outlook and versatile accommodation; its trade-offs are the renovation requirement, oil heating and private drainage that will influence running costs and future works.
