An impressive coastal home with a newly built annexe, perched in a prime location with unbeatable sweeping views across Woolacombe Beach. This exquisite beachside oasis is perfect for multi-generational family groups seeking a luxurious retreat in the north of Devon. Amble down to the glorious sandy shores of Woolacombe Beach, 200 metres, and gear up for beach games or dive in for a surf session. Venture into the lively heart of Woolacombe and browse the independent cafes, shops, and bars or wind down with a sunset dinner at one of the beachfront restaurants. Don’t miss the dramatic clifftop views from Baggy Point, 5.5 miles.

This expansive seaside property boasts spacious rooms, uninterrupted sea views, and bespoke design features. Step inside the light-flooded lounge, sink onto the plush sofas and relax with a movie or throw open the patio doors and let the salty breeze drift inside. Keep the little ones entertained with a dedicated family room brimming with toys, a football table, and a sound system. Whip up a feast in the well-equipped kitchen with a double-sided wood burner and dine around the family table. There is also a handy utility room and a separate WC on the ground floor. Retreat to the peaceful sleeping areas on the first floor, consisting of an en-suite double, a super-king-size room with a private balcony, a bright twin room, and another twin with an additional bunk bed, with magnificent views. The family bathroom is also located on the first floor.

Enjoy the privacy of the contemporary annexe suite, perfect for two members of the family seeking some downtime. This cleverly engineered wooden home with a planted rooftop has a contemporary interior, luxe underfloor heating, and smart design features. Unwind in the open-plan living space with a comfortable sofa, a crackling wood burner, and large bi-fold doors opening onto the patio. Prepare some snacks or brew a fresh cup of tea in the compact kitchenette and perch at the dining table. Catch a sunset from the reading nook by the window, then retreat to the peaceful king-size room with ample storage. There is also a large shower room with a WC.

Make the most of the glorious views from the various outdoor spaces, including an upper deck with outdoor furniture, a swing seat, and a bench seat. There is also a lower glass-panelled sun deck with seating, a hot tub, a plunge pool, a sauna, and outdoor showers for rinsing off sandy feet. Recline on the annexe patio surrounded by wildflowers and shrubbery.
