Situation & Amenities

Village shops, local pubs, the church and other amenities including the Coastal Footpath and Rockham Beach itself are within walking distance. Neighbouring Woolacombe with its renowned surfing beach is about 1 mile. Croyde and Saunton beaches are a little further along the coast. Saunton also offers a Championship Golf Course. The regional centre of Barnstaple is less than 1⁄2 hour by car and at Barnstaple there is access to the North Devon Link Road (A361) leading on in a further 45 minutes or so to Jct.27 of the M5 Motorway, where Tiverton Parkway nearby offers a fast service of trains to London Paddington in just over 2 hours. About 15 minutes by car is the coastal resort of Ilfracombe. The area is well served by excellent state and private schools. The nearest international airports are at Bristol and Exeter.

Description

High Tide House was built in 2020 in the grounds of the former Grange nearby. The building presents elevations of painted render and timber cladding, with aluminium-framed double-glazed windows beneath a slate roof.
This is quite a unique opportunity because purpose-built apartments in small blocks, being just one of two, are a rare commodity. The ‘wow’ factor is the superb sea view and the tucked away, but convenient location. Just imagine leaving your car in the car park and walking directly onto the South West Coast Path or being in such close proximity to the beach. The balcony is a great place to sun worship, enjoy the views, sunsets, Al Fresco dining/entertaining or a drink of coffee in the morning or perhaps something a little stronger in the evening. The property is currently operated as a second home/holiday let and so the majority of the contents could potentially be available by separate negotiation. The apartment is considered suitable as main residence, 2nd home, UK base or holiday let.
