11 bedroom character property for sale

An Exceptional Coastal Estate – Discreetly Available | £3.95m

An extraordinary opportunity to acquire a privately owned coastal estate, comprising multiple residences.

The estate is set within expansive grounds and landscaped gardens of about 4.5 acres, with the option to acquire 5-6 acres by separate negotiation.

The property benefits from its own beach, water frontage and mooring rights —a truly rare offering. A particularly charming and distinctive feature is the castellated turret, adding architectural interest and a unique character to the estate.

Enjoy breathtaking views in every direction, with accommodation thoughtfully designed to harmonise with the natural surroundings. This is, without question, one of the most outstanding properties I have had the privilege to present.

Exclusively available off-market through Phillips Smith & Dunn. For further information or a confidential discussion, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Opportunities of this calibre within the Devon property market are exceedingly rare. Preliminary marketing will commence next week.
