DESCRIPTION

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to wake up to the sound of waves breaking on the beach, only to gaze across your garden from the comfort of your home to find yourself taking in the endless horizons of the sea? Well, South Beach not only delivers but exceeds expectations.

Built by the current owners to a personal design specification by 'Squirrel Design' Architects of Chagford, South Beach interacts seamlessly with it's superb coastal environment. Providing sunshine and light from almost every aspect.

Innovative use of full-height glass elevations and the lofty central atrium spanned by a glass screened walkway, linking the master suite with the principal accommodation, all come together beautifully to create what is a truly uplifting environment and inspiring home!

The principal living space located on the upper ground floor brings the horizons to you! Designed with it's coastal position at the forefront, nearly 40 feet of glass spans the Southern elevation allowing truly uninterrupted views from every area including the kitchen and dining area. This leads directly onto the large sun terrace and then the sweeping lawns making this an ideal home for entertaining.

As to be expected from such a cutting edge property South Beach also delivers on technology. From the main server located within the Home Cinema, LCD and audio panels control the lighting throughout the property which can be pre-set to your own requirements as well as the music in every room. Whether you download, use satellite or CD, prefer classical or pop, the sound system is awesome. Other creature comforts include Air Conditioning throughout, a central vacuum cleaner system and extensive under-floor heating.

The master bedroom suite has direct access onto the rear balcony, taking in the stunning coastal views which can also be enjoyed from the impressive, spacious en-suite.

In conclusion, South Beach is a home for the discerning. Those who demand something truly individual. Not only from design but also location. Something that cannot be repeated.

SITUATION

Positioned a short way up on Foxholes Hill, one of the areas most sought after coastal locations, South Beach sits discreetly tucked away behind a secure gated entrance, nestling into the hillside, overlooking Exmouth Beach and the mouth of the River Exe Estuary towards Dawlish Warren. The views then continue along the South Devon coastline to the open sea. The location enjoys quite possibly one of the finest, most diverse, outlooks from a private dwelling along the UK coastline.

THE ACCOMMODATION WITH APPROXIMATE DIMENSIONS IS ARRANGED AS FOLLOWS:

From the ground floor you enter through the double-height central atrium, approximately 35' in length with fully glazed elevations to both North and South aspects. To the Southern elevation, a bespoke turning staircase finished in 'Travertine' tiles (which run throughout the majority of the property) rises to the upper ground floor and glazed gallery overlooking the atrium. From here you will enter:

UPPER GROUND FLOOR

PRINCIPAL LIVING SPACE: 39'2 x 25'10 (11.94m x 7.87m). With fully glazed southern elevation taking in the most breathtaking views across Exmouth beach, along the South Devon coastline to Lyme Bay and the sea beyond. Twenty foot sliding patio doors open directly onto the expansive rear balcony overlooking the garden beyond. This open-plan space is arranged into three zones including; sitting room, dining room and a separate kitchen.

KITCHEN: Designed by Italian kitchen specialists 'Pedini' and finished to an exceptional standard with 'Quartzite' work surfaces which wrap the kitchen around you in a circular fashion. With raised glass breakfast bar to one side and the spectacular scenery of Lyme Bay and the South Devon coast, viewed across to gardens. The kitchen is fitted with twin 'Smeg' ovens, microwave and coffee maker. An inset, five-ring 'Smeg' gas hob sits to one side beneath a suspended, oval extractor hood. In addition is a built-in dishwasher and clever 'plinth vacuum'. The inset stainless steel sink by 'Franke' has the advantage of another clever device called a 'ZIP' hydro tap. This tap provides both instant filtered boiling and chilled water. A tall, built-in fridge/freezer is also included.

SITTING ROOM AREA: Enjoying the outlook across the terrace and garden to Lyme Bay and the South Devon coast. With suspended fireplace centrally located within the living space, this provides a suitable second focal point. With the appearance of floating above the 'Travertine' floor with underlighting, the gas open flame fire rises from a bed of crushed glass. Above, a smooth rectangular column suspended from the ceiling acts as the chimney and also accommodates the inset flat screen TV.

DINING ROOM AREA: Also enjoying the superb outlook across the garden to Lyme Bay and the South Devon coast. A truly special place to enjoy dinner which also takes on a whole new dimension in the evening.

SYSTEMS CONTROL ROOM: The hub of the house incorporates many of the integral systems such as the 'Ariston Dual Stream' high pressure water heating system as well as the extensive fusing system with trip switches.

OUTSIDE: The property is approached via a secure gated entrance leading off Foxholes Hill directly onto the private driveway. Accessed via electronic gate. The drive to the front of South Beach provides generous parking for a number of cars to both the front and side of the property, which in turn sweeps across the front of the building to the integral garage.

DOUBLE GARAGE: 19'4 x 18'2 (5.89m x 5.54m). Accessed via electronically operated up and over door. Extensive power points and lighting supplied. From the garage one door leads back to a small lobby with obscure glazed window to the front aspect, providing an ideal coat and boot storage space, which in turn leads straight into the reception hall. A further door at the back of the garage then leads to the integral vacuum filtration system which provides a central vacuum cleaning system for the entire house. Integral sound system. A further door then leads back to the gymnasium.

REAR GARDEN: Following the natural interaction the building has within its environment, the garden enjoys seamless landscaping within the hillside. With uninterrupted views leading you directly across across Exmouth beach, out to the South Devon coast and Lyme Bay. Mostly laid to lawn across three levels with extensive Bamboo borders creating a natural boundary.

Immediately to the rear of the house is the large sweeping terrace laid to pebbled paviours. With glass screen to the leading edge allowing uninhibited views from any angle. Inset into the deck of the terrace are LED uplighters giving an exclusive ambience of an evening to this excellent outside space.

A sunken hot tub sits to the East, partly bordered by a range of tropical plantings including palms, grasses and cactus. These plantings sweep up the borders to the eastern side of the garden, which has also been covered with shingle, reflecting this wonderful natural environment. The lawn then leads to a further raised point to the very eastern boundary of the garden. From here you can take in quite possibly one of the most commanding outlooks of any private dwelling along the East Devon coastline. With breathtaking views across the sweeping sands, leading to the mouth of the River Exe and Dawlish Warren, and back out along the South Devon coastline, Lyme Bay and the endless horizon beyond.
