Saunton, Braunton

Set in an enviable position just steps from the prestigious Saunton Golf Club and backing onto the breathtaking expanse of Braunton Burrows, Spinneys is a substantial and elegant detached home nestled along a peaceful, quiet lane in the heart of Saunton village. While it could benefit from some modernisation, the property has the potential to be a truly outstanding family home.

Saunton is one of North Devon’s most desirable coastal villages, prized for its peaceful setting above the golden sands of Saunton Beach and the vast Braunton Burrows nature reserve. The village offers a relaxed, high-quality lifestyle with easy access to countryside walks, world-class surfing, and championship golf at the renowned Saunton Golf Club.

Life here is shaped by the natural surroundings — morning beach walks, sea swims, and sunset views are part of the daily rhythm. With nearby Braunton providing shops, cafés and amenities, Saunton perfectly balances rural tranquillity with convenience and outdoor adventure.

Accessed via a wide, gated sweeping driveway, the property is beautifully screened by mature trees, flowering borders, and well-tended hedging, offering privacy and a true sense of arrival. The generous frontage provides extensive parking and leads directly to the integrated double garage, which is ideal for secure storage.

To the front, a charming sun room offers a serene spot to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun with views over the front garden, a perfect place to relax with a book.

Living spaces are equally generous, featuring three spacious reception rooms, including a magnificent dual-aspect living room bathed in natural light, a formal dining room, and a separate snug or study, offering flexibility for modern lifestyles. The two smaller reception rooms would also lend themselves to additional bedrooms if required or a sizeable home office.

At the heart of the home lies an extensive open-plan kitchen/dining room, ideal for family life and entertaining on a grand scale. This sociable space is complemented by a separate utility room, discreetly positioned for practical day-to-day living and offering direct access to the rear gardens and garage.

Upstairs the accommodation comprises of a wide, open landing leading to four substantial double bedrooms, all of which enjoy beautiful, far-reaching views over the gardens and surrounding countryside. The primary bedroom is particularly impressive; an expansive suite with a walk-through dressing area, elegant en-suite bathroom, and access to a private balcony boasting breathtaking panoramic views towards Braunton Burrows and beyond.

In total, the property includes three bathrooms (including the en-suite) and an additional downstairs toilet, and the wide landing and central hallway further enhance the airy, open feel of the home.

Outside, the mature and beautifully landscaped gardens offer peace, privacy, and colour in abundance. The grounds feature a variety of established planting, hanging trees, fruit trees, a productive vegetable plot, wildlife pond, and numerous seating areas—each carefully positioned to follow the sun throughout the day. The garden is a haven for birds, bees, and tranquil moments, making it a perfect extension of the living space.

Combining scale, location, and lifestyle, Spinneys represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished family home in one of North Devon’s most desirable coastal villages—just minutes from the beach, yet enjoying complete seclusion and serenity. Rarely does a property of this size, setting, and quality become available in Saunton.
