Full Details
AN ICON OF COASTAL ARCHITECTURE & ENGINEERING
As featured in 'Grand Designs' the property has been painstakingly designed to create a visually unique and striking home, engineered to fit its surroundings and positioned to benefit from both privacy and the mezmerizing panoramic sea and coastal views. The three storey tower currently houses a sunken living room with large glazed windows and doors directly out to a large sweeping patio, above this there are several equisitly designed bedrooms and at the pinnacle of the tower is a superb balcony overlooking Croyde Beach and the fabulously unique 'Storm Room' from which there are the most breathtaking panoramic views.
The island of Lundy sits on the horizon and is framed by the most glorious sunsets in the evenings due to the generally west facing alignment of the building. From every floor the views are captured and framed by numerous floor to ceiling glazed windows and doors, with balconies and unique apertures to further enjoy the glorious views.
The three bedroom detached 'Eye' sits to one side with a large infinity patio, sunken hot tub and equally wide reaching views.
THE GREAT OUTDOORS
With its own 3 acres of gardens and grounds, foreshore and sea cove there is huge scope for adventure on site and in addition the property is flanked by two of the UK's best sandy surf beaches, Saunton and Croyde. There is a paved path which winds down directly into the sea where you can launch yourself on your paddleboard or with snorkel and mask or venture along the craggy fingers of rock exploring the small pools exposed at lower tides.
The large infinity pool is nestled into the rock, facing the sea, with the man house behind it and large patio areas surrounding it. A gentle trickle from the pebble waterfall creates a comforting soundscape on a quiet sunny afternoon.
The helicopter landing pad is located in between the main house and the Eye.
THE MAIN EVENT
The main house is light and elegantly laid out to create a natural flow. Space and light are maximised by the design, with your eye being drawn through the property towards the views.
On the ground floor is a superb sunken living or dining space within the circular tower section creating a characterfull space with high ceilings, large glazed windows and concertina doors which lead out onto a large decked patio. From this living space there are steps up to a large kitchen dining space ready to be fitted out. As you continue past the steam room you can access the pool and terrace directy and then the space opens up into a cosy sitting room area with cinema room and guest bedroom with en suite beyond.
The first floor provides access via the front door into a large open plan casual seating area with gallery to the floor below, leading on to a superb circular guest bedroom with ensuite and directly onto the large balconies to the rear. As you continue you find what has to be one of the best home office spaces in the UK with uninterupted views and its own WC.
The principal bedroom is next and has the most wonderous views from inside and out from its private balconies, one immediately to the front, the other superbly postioned to the side, off of the luxuriously large en-suite bathroom.
The second floor provides yet another stunning circular bedroom in the tower and spiral stairs up to the third floor.
The third floor has a superb balcony to the side with excellent views over Croyde Beach and Baggy Point beyond and gives access to the amazing 'Storm room' at the top of the tower.
THE EYE ( By separate negotiation)
Lovingly nicknamed due to its unique design 'the Eye' is a detached three bedroom luxury home designed to seamlessly blend into its surroundings and capture everything this superb location and the views provide. With floor to ceiling glazing in every room facing the sea, these open up onto an infinity patio with sunken hot tub and magnificent views.
