This stunning home occupies a truly elite position overlooking national trust land to the River Exe Estuary beyond.

This unique detached property was built by its current owners and features more than 4,000 square feet of beautifully presented accommodation, with stunning views across the surrounding countryside and towards the coast. The accommodation is light, airy and flexible and features six bedrooms and spacious reception rooms, spread across three levels.

The ground floor has a spacious sitting room with French doors opening onto a west-facing balcony with estuary views, while adjoining the sitting room is a dining room with a vaulted ceiling, a large bay window taking in the same view and French doors opening onto the elevated terrace. The kitchen and breakfast room has sleek, contemporary units and integrated appliances, plus French doors opening onto the rear gardens.

The bespoke central oak staircase leads to the lower level and the first-floor accommodation. The lower level has its own open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting room along with four double bedrooms and a family bathroom. This provides the potential for use as a separate annexe or holiday let. The first floor has two en suite bedrooms including the luxury principal bedroom with its extensive fitted storage and private balcony.

The property is approached through electric security gates, which open onto a private driveway with ample parking plus a double side gate to access the gardens.

A recent addition is the indoor pool in the garden while the gardens also include paved terracing and patio area and extensive lawns. Both the house and gardens face the coast, taking in the stunning surrounding National Trust land, all the way to the estuary beyond.

Exmouth is situated on the South Coast of East Devon, where the River Exe meets the sea. Exmouth itself is a traditional resort with a promenade, elegant Georgian architecture and a bustling centre.

For keen walkers there is access nearby to many miles of coastal path starting at ‘The Needle’ at Orcombe Point, which denotes the start of the World Heritage coastline. The Exe Estuary has been designated an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ and offers further exceptional walks and a cycle path leading to Lympstone. The cycle path to Budleigh Salterton is also nearby. The opportunities to enjoy a variety of water sports in addition to equestrian and golfing pursuits in the area are also plentiful.
