About this property

… in Bigbury-on-Sea, just 200 yards up from the magnificent sandy beach, a huge, split-level, detached house, facing south with the most sensational panoramic views over the bay to Burgh Island and the coastline beyond. With a stunning contemporary design, every thought has gone into making this seaside home stylish and superbly comfortable, whilst the very latest green technology makes it possible to leave the smallest of footprints on this beautiful environment. Interiors are light, spacious, bright, everything generous and well done with good fabrics, relaxing colour schemes and oak or tiled floors throughout.

On the seaward side, a big, enclosed, lawned garden with little summer house (seating 4, best for children), paved suntrap patio (table/benches, barbecue), an elevated terrace (table/chairs, barbecue) and a 6-person hot tub, all ideally positioned to while away lazy days or balmy evenings enjoying the captivating coastal views and fabulous sunsets. You get to ‘live the view’ inside too, with big floor-to-ceiling windows on all three levels.

Large paved forecourt (high, lockable gates to garden, garage with space for one car plus watersports/beach gear) with short slope down to front door to entrance hall; huge light-filled kitchen/dining room (dishwasher, combi-microwave, fridge-freezer) with glossy white units, shiny granite worktops, central island (halogen hob) and dining area (sliding door for winter cosiness) through to fabulous living room (TV/DVD/Blu-ray/PVR, iPod dock, woodburner); to show off the ever-changing 180 degree views and make the most of indoor/outdoor living, both rooms have sliding walls of glass and access to the deck, from which steps lead down to the garden and hot tub. Also on this level, large study/second living room (TV/DVD, Wii), serving as a bedroom when required with one sofa converting to double bed (clothes-hanging space in hall); loo, utility room (washing machine, tumble drier, freezer, larder fridge, side door to garden) and door to garage.

Open tread oak stairs down to lower ground floor and four large en suite bedrooms – the enormous master double (6’ bed, TV) and a stylish twin (zip-linkable to 6’ double), both with en suite bathroom (suite plus separate shower with hand-shower attachments, one with twin washbasins, one with shower over bath) and facing the sea (views) with big sliding glazed doors to the garden; two further very smart twins, one (zip-linkable to 6’ double) with en suite shower-room (suite), the other with en suite bathroom (suite, shower over bath plus hand-shower).

From hall, more open tread stairs up to impressive second master double (6’ bed, TV/DVD) with walk-in dressing/cot room and en suite bathroom (suite plus separate shower with hand-shower attachments, twin washbasins) and huge views from floor-to-ceiling windows (door to small balcony).

Local caterers can be recommended. Damages Deposit £500. A stunning, stylish and comfortable year-round home; an outstanding example of 21st cent. design and technology.
