Mortehoe, Woolacombe, Devon, EX34

Occupying a wonderfully peaceful position between Mortehoe and Lee Bay, Lundy Sound is an attractive single-storey barn conversion enjoying far-reaching views towards the Atlantic Ocean. Beautifully arranged for modern living, the property combines generous accommodation, a private west-facing garden and the rare benefit of off-road parking for three vehicles, all within one of North Devon’s most desirable coastal settings.

Converted from former stone and timber stables around 2009/2010, Lundy Sound forms the central home within an attractive collection of three individual properties. The accommodation is arranged entirely over one floor and offers a bright, spacious and practical layout, ideally suited to permanent living, a coastal retreat or a lock-up-and-leave residence.

The setting is an important part of the appeal. Positioned along the dramatic North Devon coastline, the property is surrounded by rolling countryside and lies within easy reach of both Mortehoe and the picturesque village of Lee Bay. Lee Bay remains one of the area’s most unspoilt coastal villages, tucked into a sheltered rocky inlet and surrounded by beautiful scenery, while the renowned village of Woolacombe is approximately 2½ miles away, offering its celebrated sandy beach together with a selection of shops, cafés and restaurants.

Ilfracombe is also conveniently positioned nearby and provides a wider range of amenities including supermarkets, schools, a GP surgery, independent retailers and the Landmark Theatre. Barnstaple, North Devon’s principal commercial centre, is approximately 14 miles away and offers extensive shopping, leisure and healthcare facilities. The beaches at Croyde, Putsborough and Saunton are all within comfortable driving distance, with Exmoor National Park also readily accessible.

At the heart of the property is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living room, a sociable and versatile space overlooking the rear garden. The kitchen is fitted with contemporary white gloss cabinetry, contrasting dark work surfaces and a stainless-steel one-and-a-half bowl sink with mixer tap. Integrated appliances include an oven, hob, fridge/freezer and dishwasher, with additional space for a washing machine. Patio doors open directly onto the garden, creating a natural connection between the internal and external living spaces.

The entrance hall is particularly generous and provides enough room to incorporate a dedicated study or home-working area without compromising the overall flow of the accommodation. A separate utility room houses the oil-fired boiler and consumer unit, with space and power for a tumble dryer.

Bedroom one is a generous double room with views over the garden and towards the sea, built-in wardrobe, fitted carpet and radiator, together with its own en-suite shower room comprising a walk-in shower, wash basin and WC.

There are two further well-proportioned double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, fitted carpets and radiators, while the family bathroom is fitted with a white three-piece suite comprising bath with shower over, wash basin and WC.

Outside, the property benefits from allocated off-road parking for three vehicles to the front. To the rear, the west-facing garden is predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by fencing, with established trees providing a pleasant degree of privacy.

The outlook towards the Atlantic is one of the property’s defining features, with the garden providing an inviting space for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the afternoon and evening sun. With Lee Bay, Woolacombe and some of North Devon’s finest coastal scenery all close at hand, Lundy Sound offers an appealing combination of tranquillity, lifestyle and convenience.
