A Contemporary Coastal Sanctuary Above Croyde Bay in North Devon
Set against a backdrop of sweeping sea and sky, Stentaway House is a landmark contemporary home a masterstroke of design, light, and coastal living, moments from the golden sands of Croyde & Putsborough and the charm of Croyde village.
From the moment you enter the vaulted reception hall, with its oak and glass staircase rising before a full height glazed wall framing ocean views, the sense of occasion is unmistakable. This is a home crafted not just for comfort, but for presence where architecture and setting are in perfect harmony.
Arranged across split levels to maximise the outlook, the principal living spaces and the magnificent main bedroom suite occupy the upper floor. Each opens onto private, covered balconies through full height sliding glass doors, offering panoramic views that stretch from the village to Hartland Point. The vast open plan living, dining and kitchen space is a triumph of contemporary styling centred around a sleek island and premium Miele appliances with a separate prep kitchen and cloakroom for effortless entertaining.
Downstairs, five beautifully appointed en suite double bedrooms open onto a broad sun deck with glass balustrading, providing yet more vantage points for sunrise and sea. One bedroom is currently arranged as a home office, with independent access and plumbing provision for self contained living perfect for guests, multigenerational needs or studio use.
A utility room, wet room, and separate shower space offer practical solutions for beach life ideal for rinsing off sandy dogs, wetsuits and surfboards after days spent on the waves. Triple garaging with automatic doors, generous off road parking, and an air source heat pump with underfloor heating throughout ensure both convenience and sustainability.
The grounds are thoughtfully landscaped for ease of upkeep, with level lawned gardens to the front and side, and a raised terrace connecting the lower bedrooms to the upper living level.
