Offered to the market with no onward chain, this exceptional four-bedroom residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine distinction, occupying a truly enviable setting with far-reaching sea views across rolling countryside. Combining generous and versatile accommodation with beautifully curated outside space, the property offers an outstanding lifestyle opportunity, equally suited to refined family living and sophisticated entertaining.
From the moment of arrival, the property conveys a wonderful sense of space and potential. Internally, the accommodation is both substantial and adaptable, arranged to meet the needs of modern living while retaining an elegant and welcoming atmosphere throughout. Multiple reception rooms provide a wealth of flexibility, whether for formal occasions, relaxed family gatherings, home working or quiet retreat. Each room is well proportioned and thoughtfully arranged, creating a natural flow that enhances the home’s overall sense of balance and comfort.
A particular highlight is the magnificent wrap-around conservatory, an impressive addition that beautifully connects the interior with the grounds beyond. Bathed in natural light throughout the day, this superb space provides a tranquil vantage point from which to admire the exquisitely landscaped gardens and the captivating views stretching towards Lundy Island. Equally suited to morning coffee, afternoon reading or evening entertaining, it is a room that brings the outside in and allows the setting to be enjoyed in every season.
The bedroom accommodation continues the home’s theme of generous proportions and versatility. With four well-sized bedrooms, the property is ideally suited to family occupation, while also offering excellent scope for guest accommodation, hobby rooms or dedicated home office space. The overall arrangement allows for flexibility as lifestyles evolve, making this a home that can adapt beautifully to both present and future needs.
Outside, the property comes into its own in truly spectacular fashion. The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of attractive and inviting spaces, rich in colour, texture and seasonal interest. Beautifully maintained and wonderfully mature, they provide both privacy and visual impact, offering an idyllic setting for family enjoyment, peaceful relaxation and outdoor entertaining on any scale. Every aspect of the grounds has been designed to make the most of the home’s exceptional position, with the surrounding landscape forming a stunning natural backdrop.
Enhancing the lifestyle appeal even further is the outdoor swimming pool and hot tub, bringing a sense of luxury and leisure more often associated with a boutique retreat than a private home. Whether hosting summer gatherings, unwinding with family, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, these superb features elevate the property into something quite special.
In addition to the principal accommodation, the property also benefits from a range of additional outbuildings, presenting exciting possibilities for conversion, subject to any necessary consents. These buildings may lend themselves to a variety of uses, including ancillary accommodation, income-generating holiday lets, studio space, or home office facilities, offering purchasers the chance to tailor the estate to their own requirements and ambitions. Furthermore, towards the rear of the garden there is additional space that may, subject to the relevant planning permissions, offer further development potential for the creation of another outbuilding, adding yet another dimension to this already compelling opportunity.
Rarely does a property combine such a generous internal footprint, exceptional landscaped grounds, leisure facilities, development potential and breathtaking far-reaching views in one complete package. With the added advantage of no onward chain, this is an outstanding home of great flexibility and lifestyle appeal, offering the chance to acquire a substantial residence in one of the area’s most desirable and picturesque settings.
NB. The Property also comes with solar panels that contribute towards the utility bills and also have battery storage that is all owned.
