An impeccably designed coastal home, presented to the highest specification, with unrivalled views of Saunton Sands, the Braunton Burrows and Saunton's Championship Golf Course.
Description
Ferndown is a truly exceptional property, offering an unparalleled lifestyle with its expansive views of Saunton Beach, the surrounding sand dunes and Saunton Golf Course. The home offers over 12,000 square feet of internal living space spread across three floors, each showcasing stunning panoramic sea views. The property also includes approximately 5,000 square feet of terraces, providing ample space for outdoor entertaining and relaxation.
The entrance to Ferndown is both striking and functional, framed by a stunning glass atrium that creates a light-filled, welcoming space. In addition to the main entrance, there is a secondary side entrance that leads to a practical boot room, perfect for those returning from beach outings or countryside walks.
The ground floor presents an open plan layout with a spacious kitchen equipped with integrated appliances which seamlessly flows into the family and dining areas; further enhanced by expansive floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the space which open and connect with the outdoor terraces, bringing the natural beauty of the surroundings into the heart of the home. There is also a dedicated home office space, ideal for remote work or quiet study, an 8th bedroom with ensuite shower room and a preparation kitchen, providing additional functionality for entertaining and daily life.
The layout of the first floor is designed for versatile living with 7 double bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom making it ideal for family living. The ‘western wing’ offers two ensuite bedrooms with a dayroom beneath, creating the possibility of a self-contained annexe or separate living space. There is also the ability, if required, to create a roof terrace, accessible from the first floor which would be an ideal setting for sunset gatherings, offering breath-taking views across the burrows.
The lower ground floor of Ferndown is dedicated to relaxation and fun featuring an impressive leisure complex. Among the highlights is a stunning 9m x 5m swimming pool, complemented by a 20m lap pool. For added enjoyment, there is a pool bar, making it the perfect setting for relaxation and socializing. The spa quality leisure area includes a sauna, steam room, gym and yoga/weights room, all designed to cater to health and wellness needs. A spa treatment room provides the ideal environment for ultimate rejuvenation and an impressive glass walled wine store provides a practical space for wine enthusiasts to store and showcase their collection.
The lower ground floor also includes a cinema room, which could also be used as a music room, a bar, as well as a large games room ensuring that there are plenty of options for recreation and fun without ever needing to leave the property.
The property offers a large, gated driveway with extensive parking and an integral double garage. Additional storage accommodates bikes, surfboards and outdoor gear. Spacious terraces maximise the property’s spectacular views, and the grounds, covering just under an acre, provide access to Braunton Burrows through a path at the garden’s edge. An additional path leads to Saunton Sands beach.
