9 bedroom house

Dunecliffe offers an extremely rare opportunity to build a 9,400 sq ft coastal family home that has been cleverly designed to maximise the living space and accommodation whilst blending into its unique and picturesque surroundings of Saunton Sands Beach and Braunton Burrows. The Dunecliffe site occupies a prime waterfront position in one of the most sought-after locations across the entire South and South West UK coastline.

Under North Devon Council planning application number 61551 permission was successfully granted in November 2017, and now granted in perpetuity, for a south-facing, frontline, nine bedroom family home. The principal bedroom suite on the top floor will be particularly spacious and impressive and will have its own sitting area, private office and balcony. In addition to an open plan kitchen/dining area/ sitting room (with a central staircase) there will be a cinema, sauna, steam room, games room and gym on the lower ground floor and an attached double garage.

The property will have access and parking both off the Croyde/Braunton road (Saunton Road) and also off the lower lane that leads down to the car park at Saunton Sands beach. The property lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Heritage Coast and Coastal Preservation Area because of the high scenic qualities of this part of the North Devon coast. It looks across to the UNESCO designated world biosphere reserve at Braunton Burrows.
The plans have been produced by the highly respected and nationally renowned architect, Alan Phillips.
The property is located close to the Saunton Sands Hotel, a fabulous four star art deco hotel, with a large heated pool, gym and spa facilities. North Devon has an increasing number of Michelin starred restaurants and is ever evolving as new business descend on the area taking advantage of the rapidly growing UK tourism market.
