About
Occupying one of Downderry's most commanding positions at the top of Buttlegate, this detached family home enjoys breathtaking south facing views across Whitsand Bay and out over the open waters of the English Channel.
Held within the same ownership for the past 27 years and offered with no onward chain, the property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home in an outstanding coastal setting with exceptional potential to enhance, reconfigure or modernise, subject to any necessary consents.
With generous accommodation, tiered gardens, two garages and spectacular sea views from both floors, this is a property that offers not only an enviable lifestyle today, but the chance to create something truly special for the future.
A welcoming entrance hall provides access to a shower room and a versatile study, which could equally serve as a fifth bedroom, hobby room or home office.
The kitchen and dining room forms the heart of the home, offering a sociable space for everyday living and entertaining, with direct access onto the terrace where the exceptional coastal outlook immediately captures the imagination.
Beyond, the substantial dual aspect sitting room is undoubtedly one of the property's standout features.
Filled with natural light and perfectly positioned to take advantage of the panoramic views, the room opens directly onto the balcony terrace, creating a seamless connection between inside and out whilst showcasing the stunning views across Whitsand Bay.
Upstairs, the accommodation continues to make the most of the property's remarkable setting.
The principal bedroom enjoys fitted wardrobes, an en suite bathroom and sliding doors opening onto a private balcony, providing a wonderful vantage point from which to appreciate the ever-changing sea views.
Three further bedrooms are arranged around the landing and are served by a family bathroom, offering flexible accommodation for family and guests alike.
Several of the bedrooms benefit from the same far-reaching coastal outlook, ensuring the home's enviable position can be appreciated throughout.
Outside, the property occupies a generous plot with tiered gardens rising behind the house.
At the uppermost level, a private seating area provides a peaceful retreat, ideal for unwinding whilst enjoying the elevated position and spectacular views.
To the front, the large south facing terrace offers the perfect space for al fresco dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing whilst taking in the uninterrupted outlook across the coastline and sea.
Two detached single garages provide excellent storage, workshop potential or secure parking. Properties occupying positions such as this are rarely available.
Combining uninterrupted south facing views across Whitsand Bay, generous accommodation, extensive outdoor space and exciting potential for a new owner to create a truly exceptional coastal home, this represents a unique opportunity in one of South East Cornwall's most sought-after seaside villages.
Downderry is one of South East Cornwall's most desirable coastal villages, renowned for its beautiful beach, relaxed atmosphere and strong sense of community.
Together with neighbouring Seaton, the village offers a range of local amenities including shops, cafés, pubs, a restaurant, primary school, church and doctor's surgery.
Miles of coastline, scenic walks and opportunities for water sports are all close at hand, while Plymouth and the wider road network remain easily accessible.
Combining exceptional natural beauty with everyday convenience, Downderry continues to be one of Cornwall's most sought-after coastal destinations.
