Description
An Exceptional Coastal Estate – Discreetly Available | £3.95m
An extraordinary opportunity to acquire a privately owned coastal estate, comprising multiple residences. The principal properties include a distinguished five-bedroom main residence and a fully refurbished four-bedroom holiday cottage. The estate is set within expansive grounds and landscaped gardens of about 4.5 acres, with the option to acquire 5-6 acres by separate negotiation.
The property benefits from its own beach, water frontage and mooring rights —a truly rare offering. A particularly charming and distinctive feature is the castellated turret, adding architectural interest and a unique character to the estate.
Enjoy breathtaking views in every direction, with accommodation thoughtfully designed to harmonise with the natural surroundings. This is, without question, one of the most outstanding properties I have had the privilege to present.
Exclusively available off-market through Phillips Smith & Dunn. For further information or a confidential discussion, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Opportunities of this calibre within the Devon property market are exceedingly rare. Preliminary marketing will commence next week.
Appledore is a charming coastal village in North Devon, known for its maritime heritage, narrow winding streets, and artistic community. Set at the meeting point of the River Torridge and the sea, it offers a peaceful lifestyle with easy access to water-based activities such as sailing, paddleboarding, and kayaking. The village features independent shops, cafés, galleries, and highly regarded restaurants, including The Royal George and The Seagate.
Just a short drive away, Bideford, Westward Ho!, and Instow provide a range of additional amenities and attractions. Bideford offers shopping, schools, and cultural venues, while Westward Ho! boasts a long sandy beach, golf, and vibrant seaside atmosphere. Instow, on the opposite side of the estuary, is renowned for its tranquil beach and quality dining, offering a more refined riverside experience.
For broader services and excellent transport links, Barnstaple—North Devon’s largest town—is just 25 minutes away. Together, these locations create a lifestyle blend of coastal beauty, countryside tranquillity, and modern convenience, making the Appledore area one of Devon’s most desirable places to live.
