3 bedroom apartment for sale

A spacious three bedroom apartment within the highly sought after Clifton Court building, enjoying wonderful panoramic views across Putsborough Sands and out to sea.

Location - The property is situated in the highly desirable and exclusive area of Putsborough, overlooking the sandy beach, which adjoins the award-winning beach of Woolacombe. The stunning North Devon coastline was recognised in 2022 as a ‘World Surfing Reserve’ (WSR) – the first in the UK and only cold-water WSR in the world.

The small hamlet of Putsborough overlooks the bay and consists of a few houses and apartments just outside the ever-popular village of Croyde, which also benefits from a splendid sandy beach along with a good range of amenities and leisure pursuits, including shops and a good variety of pubs and restaurants. Glorious National Trust walks along the coastline are available from the doorstep, with the South West Coastal Path running directly past the main entrance to the Clifton Court, leading to Woolacombe in one direction, and Baggy Point and Croyde in the other.

The larger nearby village of Braunton offers a wider and more comprehensive range of amenities, including a supermarket and further shops, pubs and restaurants including the well-known Squire’s Fish & Chip restaurant. Saunton offers a further popular beach along with a well-regarded championship golf course.

The regional centre of Barnstaple offers all the area’s main business, commercial, leisure and shopping venues.

Communications - The area can be accessed from Junction 27 of the M5 Motorway, and along the A361 North Devon Link Road. The nearest train station is located at the regional centre of Barnstaple, which connects to Exeter, and from there, there are regular mainline rail services to London. Tiverton Parkway mainline railway station can be reached in about an hour by car, which also offers rail services to London (Paddington) in around 2 hours.
