Description

Built in the 1990s and extending to over 2,700 sq. ft., this versatile home offers spacious and flexible accommodation arranged over two floors, enjoying stunning valley views and a wonderful rural setting.

Entering through the front door on the ground floor, the welcoming hallway provides access to the first floor via a staircase with useful storage beneath, together with a guest cloakroom. To the left is a generous guest bedroom (Bedroom 1 on the floor plan), a dual-aspect room benefiting from an en-suite shower room and WC. To the right lies the kitchen/dining room, undoubtedly the heart of the home. This impressive dual-aspect space enjoys views over the gardens and features a door leading directly outside. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of matching wall and base units, integrated appliances, and a central island, creating an ideal space for both family living and entertaining. Fully glazed double doors open into the dining room, which enjoys a side-aspect window overlooking the front of the property.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room, fitted with additional storage units, a sink, and space for white goods. From here, steps lead down to the double garage, which is equipped with an electronic up-and-over door.

The first floor is designed to make the most of the property's elevated position and far-reaching views. The bright and spacious sitting room features a fireplace and opens through sliding patio doors into the conservatory. Predominantly glazed, the conservatory provides an exceptional year-round living space, complete with underfloor heating, electronically operated roof blinds, pull-down window blinds, and bi-fold doors opening onto a terrace and the side garden.

The principal bedroom enjoys striking views down the valley and benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. Bedroom 3 also includes fitted wardrobes and overlooks the rear of the property, while Bedroom 4 is currently arranged as a home office but could equally serve as a single bedroom. A family bathroom completes the accommodation and is fitted with a bath with shower over, WC, and wash basin.

A long private driveway leads to the property, providing a gravelled parking area and access to the double garage. At the entrance to the drive is additional parking for two vehicles, with potential for a replacement double garage, boathouse, or studio, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The grounds are a particular feature of the property. To the right of the driveway is a level lawn enclosed by mature hedging and timber fencing, while to the left a delightful paved patio provides an attractive space for outdoor dining and relaxation. The gardens extend around and behind the property, incorporating established trees and shrubs. Rising to the south is a charming orchard planted with numerous apple and damson trees, together with a vegetable plot and additional planting. Beyond the garden boundary lies a gently sloping five-acre field, currently grazed by sheep, while a separate paddock contains further fruit trees.

AREA DESCRIPTION

Occupying a peaceful and sheltered 6.5-acre setting surrounded by hillside and woodland, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the tranquillity of the South Devon countryside while remaining close to the coast.

The Avon Estuary, just a short walk away, provides excellent opportunities for boating, fishing, paddle boarding, and wildlife spotting. The village of Bigbury lies approximately 1.3 miles from the property, while the highly sought-after coastal destination of Bigbury-on-Sea is around 3 miles away.

Famed for its iconic connection to Burgh Island and its beautiful sandy beaches, Bigbury-on-Sea is one of South Devon's most desirable coastal locations. The surrounding landscape is equally appealing, with the nearby Bigbury Golf Club and the scenic River Avon adding to the area's charm.

For everyday amenities, St Ann's Chapel is located approximately half a mile away and offers a village hall, public house, convenience store, and post office, ensuring that essential services are within easy reach while preserving the area's peaceful rural character.
