Description

This elevated coastal plot offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in the picturesque village of Bigbury-on-Sea. Spanning approximately 770 square meters (0.2 acres), the property is distinguished by its gentle sloping gardens and spectacular westerly sea views, making it an ideal setting to capture stunning sunsets over the South Devon coastline. Current planning permission has been secured (Ref: 1222/23/HHO) for an extensive redevelopment that transforms the existing structure into a spacious four-bedroom detached home. The approved design features two en-suite bedrooms, a generous lounge area, a separate study, a gym, and an expansive open-plan kitchen and dining space. In addition, the plans include three off-road parking spaces and a detached garage, providing both practicality and convenience. The property’s location enhances its appeal; Bigbury-on-Sea and nearby Challaborough Bay are renowned for their sandy beaches and vibrant surf culture. Residents will enjoy easy access to the South West Coast Path, perfect for hiking enthusiasts. The iconic Burgh Island is also within walking distance at low tide or accessible via the famed Sea Tractor during high tide, offering fine dining options at the Art Deco hotel or the charming Pilchard Inn pub. For outdoor enthusiasts, there’s a nearby 18-hole golf course, coupled with sailing opportunities in coastal towns like Newton Ferrers and Salcombe, which are just a short drive away. This property represents not only an exceptional chance to develop a home tailored to modern living but also serves as a solid investment in one of the South Hams' most desirable locations, where opportunities like this are rare. Please note that while all services are currently disconnected from the plot, mains electricity, water, and drainage will be available once connected. This project awaits your vision to unlock its full potential in an enviable coastal setting.
