Chesil Cliff House is one of the UK's most spectacular newly built coastal homes in a cliff-top position, built into the bedrock below. This uniquely designed and eco-friendly waterfront home by award winning architect Alan Philips, offers a waterfront lifestyle like no other, with 2.8 acres of grounds including entertaining terraces, an infinity pool and a private beach cove and foreshore. Lot 2 is a three bedroom cliff top annexe in about 0.28 acres, know as The Eye, available by separate negotiation.

Far-reaching sea views from every room and almost 360-degree views over Croyde Bay, Saunton Sands and out to sea from the storm room at the top of the exceptional lighthouse feature make Chesil Cliff House the perfect property to enjoy watching the sunsets, the dramatic storms and the surfers on Down End Point. Privacy is paramount at Chesil Cliff House. The discrete private driveway leading down to the property drops quickly from the public
road, offering total seclusion. Plus, with planning permission for a helipad in the grounds, you can enjoy easy and quick access to this spectacular property.

Lot 1: Chesil Cliff House. Recently constructed, Chesil Cliff House represents a once in a lifetime opportunity to own one of the most spectacular newly built waterfront homes anywhere on the UK coastline. Chesil Cliff House has been finished as an exciting blank canvas, giving the new owner the opportunity to design their own interior fit out. The ingenious design has been meticulously brought to life through impressive engineering that ensures the house is anchored to the bed rock, and using the finest quality materials with a unique lighthouse feature at one end giving almost 360 degree views of the coastline. Unusually for a waterfront home, Chesil Cliff House has around 2.8 acres of grounds which include a large area of foreshore and a private beach area with coves. First impressions are outstanding.

The entrance is on the first floor where the reception hall and sitting room gives access to the three bedrooms on this floor. The principal bedroom is of particular note, with an outstanding view over the infinity pool and out to sea. There is a dressing area and luxuriously spacious en suite bathroom with
space for a large bath, double shower and double basin. Also on this floor is a circular guest bedroom with en suite shower and panoramic views.

The ground floor contains the principal living areas of the house including a large kitchen area, forming the heart of the house and ready to be fitted
out. The views are incredible and steps lead down to the dining room in the circular section of the house, with double height ceiling, floor to ceiling windows and floor to ceiling glazed doors that lead out to the terrace, perfect for spring and summer al fresco entertaining. There is access to the breath-taking infinity pool and surrounding terrace to the front.

Beyond the kitchen area is the living room, positioned to take advantage of the views through the floor to ceiling windows and sliding doors leading to the infinity pool. The numerous curves throughout the building provide various areas to stop and enjoy the view whilst walking through the brilliantly
bright circulation spaces. There is a bedroom on the ground floor with an en suite shower room.

A further guest bedroom with en suite shower room is on the second floor of the lighthouse, and the views get better and better as the height increases. The second floor can be accessed directly from the garage, and a spiral staircase leads to the third floor which contains the unique and breath-taking storm room. This offers panoramic sea views from one of the most spectacular vantage points on the entire coastline.

A unique feature of Chesil Cliff that sets it apart from other coastal properties is the extent of the grounds, the foreshore and the direct water access. Steps lead down from the gardens to the foreshore.


The North Devon Coast is arguably one of the most sought-after coastal locations in the UK and is the perfect setting for this miraculous newly built waterfront home. This coastline is renowned for its beauty and much of it is under the ownership and protection of the National Trust. There are numerous spectacular cliffs, hidden coves and sandy beaches, with a hinterland of wild moorland, sparkling river valleys and lush rolling hills. As well as being superb family beaches, Croyde, Saunton Sands and Putsborough are also renowned for some of the best surfing in the country. North Devon has recently been announced as the 12th World Surfing Reserve.

Backing onto the Atlantic, a good swell can produce line after line of beautiful long slow rollers that prove to be an irresistible draw for surfers from all over the country. Some of the most challenging surf can be enjoyed a short distance from Chesil Cliff's foreshore. In addition to surfing, there are many other sporting activities that take place in the immediate area including kite surfing, kayaking and paddle boarding to name a few. Further activities in the area include golf at Saunton Golf Club, which is regarded as one of the best links courses in the country.
