Situated on the sea-facing side of the highly sought-after and prestigious Bay View Road, this exceptional detached home enjoys magnificent panoramic views across Westward Ho! and out to the open sea. Arranged over 3 floors, the beautifully presented accommodation offers 4 or 5 Bedrooms, depending on individual requirements, combining contemporary style with generous living spaces and a truly outstanding coastal setting. Oak flooring, doors and windows feature in parts of the property, adding warmth and character to the high-quality finish.

The property makes an immediate impression, with ample off-road parking to the front complementing a substantial Double Garage, complete with power, lighting and the gas fired boiler.

A solid front door opens into a welcoming Entrance Hall where a useful coats cupboard and Cloakroom provide everyday practicality.

At the heart of the home is the impressive, open-plan Kitchen / Dining / Living Room, thoughtfully arranged to create distinct spaces for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the wonderful outlook across the garden towards the sea. A wall mounted gas fire provides an attractive focal point while underfloor heating adds to the comfort of this superb living space. Upgraded by the current owners, the contemporary Kitchen incorporates a breakfast bar with shelving beneath, a 5-ring gas hob with extractor above, 2 Bosch ovens, an integrated dishwasher, an integrated fridge / freezer and a built-in larder cupboard. Downlighting completes the finish. A separate Utility Room offers further practical space with a sink, plumbing for appliances and room for an additional fridge / freezer.

Also accessed from the entrance hall is a Study with sea views, providing an inviting setting for working from home or creating a quiet library.

The first floor offers 4 potential Bedrooms, 1 of which is currently enjoyed as a particularly striking additional sitting room. Two bedrooms benefit from Juliet Balconies framing the far-reaching coastal views, with 1 enjoying an En-suite Bathroom and the other an En-suite Shower Room.

The room currently arranged as a sitting room is a standout feature, with a lovely vaulted ceiling and a large bay window incorporating French doors opening to a Juliet Balcony. Equally suited to use as a generous bedroom, it offers excellent flexibility while providing a wonderful alternative space in which to relax and appreciate the outlook.

A further good-size double bedroom is served by the contemporary Family Bathroom, fitted with a white suite comprising a bath with shower over, WC, wash hand basin and heated towel rail. A separate walk-in wardrobe on this floor provides an appealing addition with generous space for clothing and accessories.

Occupying the top floor, the Principal Bedroom suite provides a superb private retreat. Its vaulted ceiling enhances the feeling of space while a Juliet Balcony offers an elevated vantage point from which to enjoy the exceptional sea views. The changing light, tides and seasons ensure this remarkable outlook offers something different throughout the year. Storage is particularly well catered for, with a walk-in wardrobe and 3 additional cupboards. The spacious En-suite features twin vanity basins, a corner shower and WC, together with access to a further walk-in wardrobe area.

Outside, the rear garden has been arranged to make the most of the setting. A generous patio provides ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining, leading onto a level lawn with the coastal panorama beyond. From here, a zigzag path descends through sloping ground to an additional acre of land belonging to the property, as indicated on the aerial photo. This offers a peaceful spot for a bench or potential space for a summerhouse, subject to any necessary consents. The additional land also creates a valuable buffer below the main garden, contributing to the sense of space and openness.

To the front, a garden area accompanies the extensive parking together with a useful storage shed that previously served as a sauna, although its operation has not been recently tested.

Combining a prestigious address, immaculate presentation and wonderfully versatile accommodation with some truly memorable sea views, this is a distinctive coastal home of considerable appeal. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the quality, space and exceptional position on offer.
