Property Description

This stunning, immaculately presented newly remodelled and refurbished contemporary family home has never been lived in and is truly exceptional and likely the best of its kind currently on the market. It exudes modern elegance and an abundance of space with around 418m2 (4,500ft2) of accommodation arranged over two floors with top quality fixtures and fittings throughout. There are outstanding, far-reaching views over the town, the picturesque harbour, Lantern Hill and Damien Hirst’s ‘Verity’ statue, Hillsborough, and across the Bristol Channel to the Welsh coastline beyond. The property offers spacious, light-filled rooms throughout, ideal for a larger family or those seeking versatile accommodation. The beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds spanning approximately 1.07 acres are perfect for outdoor entertainment, with numerous areas for al fresco dining, barbecues, and lazy afternoons soaking in the superb sea and coastal views. There is even scope for further development as a plot within the grounds, currently a garage and carport area, has scope and potential to be rebuilt as a larger single storey garage or, subject to planning permission, to be considerably enlarged and redeveloped as a two storey garage with studio over or as a separate unit of ancillary accommodation that would perfectly suit an elderly or dependent relative, dual family occupation or for those seeking home and income potential. Please see example CGI pictures on the website.

The home is approached via a private driveway which leads up to the main parking and turning area which has space for numerous vehicles and leads to a detached double garage/workshop. The gardens surround the property and enjoy plenty of sunlight throughout the day. The grounds also enjoy the far reaching views of the countryside and coastline and are a great vantage point for some of the stunning sunsets throughout the year.

There are all of the mod-cons that you would expect in a home of this calibre with underfloor heating throughout, anthracite grey aluminium double-glazed tinted windows and doors for enhanced privacy and energy efficiency, solar thermal panels to assist with heating the water, automated Velux roof-light windows, a sleek two-tone contemporary kitchen with built-in appliances and beautifully appointed sanitary ware. Further modern touches include a glass balustrade to the staircase and fabulous galleried landing. Externally the property is finished in white render and Siberian larch cladding which sets off well against the dark framed windows and doors and is complimented by the glass balustrades to the Juliet balconies.

The property is located under a mile from the high street and a similar distance to the picturesque sea front and harbour with the recently completed Water Sports Centre and Lime Kiln Cafe/Bar en route. The harbour is also home to Damien Hirst's 'Verity' statue which stands at the edge of the pier. For dog walkers, there is nearby Hillsborough which enjoys some breath-taking coastal scenery and an abundance of meandering footpaths. Local beaches at Rapparee and Hele Bay are close by with the famous 'Tunnels' Beaches with their hand-cut Victorian tunnel access and sea water pool are also on hand. The town has plenty of facilities on offer. There are a range of restaurants, bars and shops in both the sea front area and the High Street and a modern theatre and cinema. Ilfracombe Golf Club is just a short drive from the property and has splendid coastal views and there is a championship golf course at nearby Saunton. The town's schools for all ages are also within easy reach and there is private education at the very well-known and respected West Buckland School which runs a daily bus service to and from the various towns and villages in the locality. There are local supermarkets including Tesco, Lidl and Co-Op. Barnstaple, which is North Devon's main trading centre is approximately 11 miles away and has many of the big named shops, a rail link and access onto the A361 North Devon Link Road which joins the M5 at Junction 27. The Cathedral City of Exeter is approximately 60 miles away, where there is the nearest airport, as well as direct rail links to the major stations in London. Likewise, Tiverton Parkway Station also has direct links to London and is closer, at around 50 miles.

The moment you enter the property the abundance of space and light is immediately evident as you step into a superb full height galleried hallway with its expanse of glazing to the front elevation. This space offers a wide variety of different options to suit the needs of the home and is a great circulation space, seamlessly connecting all areas of the property and offering direct and level access to a large very private rear sun terrace within the garden. The oak staircase rises to the upper gallery with its glass balustrade overlooking the hallway below and adds that further feeling of space and light. The heart of the home, without a doubt, is the very impressive 40ft x 22ft expansive living room and kitchen which offers an amazing space to enjoy. Upon entering the room you are immediately drawn to the fantastic windows which perfectly frame the spectacular views over the surrounding gardens and out over the sea and coastline. Sliding doors to both the front and side provide a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living and a choice of terraces to enjoy to suit your mood. The stylish two-tone modern fitted kitchen is perfect for family meal times or for those who love entertaining and dinner parties. The kitchen is well-equipped with high-quality built-in appliances and is both functional and elegant. No matter where you are in the room, you cannot miss the stunning views!

Moving across the hallway, the snug/TV room provides a cosier and more intimate space but doesn't compromise on the views over the gardens and onto the sea and coastline. Sliding doors open onto the front terrace. At the rear there is an office/study which could also be used for a variety of different purposes, including a ground floor bedroom, play or hobbies room. For practicality and convenience, there is handy utility room with direct access to the garden as well as separate cloakroom/wc.

Climb the stairs to the first floor and the impressive accommodation continues. The large galleried landing is a lovely area to enjoy and utilise to suit and the full-height glazing provides the sea vista. There is plenty of storage both here and within the main hallway, perfect for the everyday essentials.

There are four spacious double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has its own private dressing room and a large beautifully appointed en suite bathroom. Bedroom 2 is a similar size and also has an en suite shower room; both rooms have impressive high vaulted ceilings with glazing up to the apex allowing the sea views to be enjoyed directly from the bed! Bedrooms 3 and 4, overlook the gardens. The final room in house is a family bathroom which has similar high-quality fittings and attractive modern tiling, very much akin to that of the two en suites.

Outside, the property is approached via a private driveway which sweeps up towards the house. As mentioned earlier, there is plenty of parking for numerous vehicles. To the left-hand side of the house there is a double garage which has an electrically operated door, light and power. Sitting above the garage is a handy loft storage area which is approached via the rear. There is also a further garage and large parking area to the opposite side of the house which is ripe for redevelopment in a variety of ways as a bigger and better garage, studio or as a separate unit of ancillary accommodation. Please see example CGI pictures on the website.

The gardens and grounds surround the property and have been carefully landscaped to provide many different areas to enjoy. The grounds are laid mainly to lawn with plenty of large level expanses, with the front having a large fish pond. There are two large modern decked sitting areas, one to the right-hand side and which is immediately adjacent to and accessible from the main living room. The deck to the rear links directly to the main hallway and enjoys considerable privacy a shelter. Imaginative planting adds plenty of colour through the seasons with the rear gardens having large and level terraces and mature hedge borders. The gardens and grounds are a real treat and ideal for a variety of pursuits, children and pets.

So, what more could you want? You simply MUST come and a look at this stunning home, one of the very best of its kind in the area and there is also the benefit of no onward chain.
