Top-floor penthouse with panoramic Woolacombe Bay and Atlantic views
A waterside penthouse in the Byron development, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment occupies a top-floor position with panoramic views across Woolacombe Bay to Baggy and Hartland Points. The property includes a large sea-facing balcony accessed by full-height bifold doors, a 22ft open-plan kitchen/living/dining area, a 19ft master bedroom with en-suite, and secure underground parking with extra storage—all sold fully furnished and ready for immediate use.
The building offers extensive on-site facilities uncommon locally: indoor heated pool, sauna, spa and treatment room, gym, games room, concierge and an adjacent restaurant/bar. The apartment is established as a high-end holiday let producing circa £40,000pa; owners currently reserve weeks for personal use, so rental income could rise with fuller availability or different management. There are tax advantages for operating as a furnished holiday let for those who qualify.
Important practical points are straightforward: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of £7,151.58 and ground rent of £450. Main heating is electric (room heaters), broadband speeds are average, and the area classification notes ageing rural neighbourhoods and communal retirement presence. These factors affect running costs and long-term owner use decisions. The apartment is in an affluent, low-flood-risk coastal location a short walk from the golden sand beach and village amenities.
This home suits buyers seeking a turnkey coastal investment or a second/holiday home with premium facilities and strong rental history. Viewings will best show how the indoor/outdoor layout and facilities support year-round letting and relaxed coastal living. Consider the service charge, leasehold terms, and electric heating when calculating net returns and long-term ownership costs.
