Bow Lee is an impressive three-bedroom detached dormer bungalow, elevated to command truly breathtaking panoramic views across the Bristol Channel and the rolling North Devon countryside. Set in one of the area’s most desirable coastal villages, this is a home that combines space, privacy and scenery in a way that is rarely available.

The principal living room is beautifully positioned to take full advantage of the outlook and flows seamlessly into a conservatory-style sun room — an exceptional space for year-round enjoyment, whether watching the changing light over the sea or simply relaxing in peaceful surroundings. The kitchen offers generous proportions with ample workspace and dining space, forming a welcoming heart to the home with excellent potential for enhancement.

All three bedrooms are comfortable doubles, providing versatile accommodation for family, guests or home working. The bathroom is well appointed with a contemporary rain shower and heated towel rail. While some modernisation would further elevate the interior, the property has been carefully maintained and remains immediately liveable, allowing the next owner to improve at their own pace.

Externally, Bow Lee sits within a substantial, sloping garden that enhances its elevated position and sense of privacy. Steps lead gracefully to the front porch, while the grounds offer exciting scope for landscaping, terraces or seating areas designed to make the most of the extraordinary coastal and countryside backdrop. A garage and private off-road parking add valuable practicality.

Combe Martin is a charming and highly regarded coastal village, celebrated for its picturesque bay, dramatic cliffside walks and strong community atmosphere. Everyday amenities, independent cafés and traditional pubs are close at hand, while the wild beauty of the North Devon coastline and nearby Exmoor National Park provide an outstanding natural playground on the doorstep.

Bow Lee presents a rare opportunity to secure an elevated coastal home with sweeping sea views, generous proportions and the potential to create a truly special residence in an exceptional North Devon setting.
