1 Lower Sandbanks is an exceptional and delightful, small but very smart property offering the luxury of modern living just minutes from some of the most beautiful beaches and magnificent coastal footpaths in England. Tucked in the centre of the village of Bigbury on Sea, down a quiet residential lane, this ultra contemporary ground floor, all on one level, apartment (one of six) has been recently completed, is architect designed to a high specification and enjoys its own cedar decked terrace and parking. From here the wide expanses of glorious sandy beach, magnificent views from fabulous cliff top walks, the causeway formed at low tide leading to Burgh Island, watersports such as surfing, kayaking, kite surfing and swimming can all be enjoyed from this attractive apartment in the seaside village of Bigbury on Sea.
The property faces a quiet village lane with glimpses of Burgh island and the sea. There is a parking place for one car alongside the enclosed, part covered, deck area, provided with outdoor furniture and is an ideal spot for al fresco meals.
Bigbury-on-Sea is best known for its proximity to the stunning Burgh Island. Renowned for its art deco hotel which was once frequented by Agatha Christie, the island is easily accessed across the sandy causeway at low tide. The island is open for everyone to explore (with the exception of the hotel and grounds), and it is well worth a walk to the top for its breath-taking views. You can stop for refreshments in the 14th Century smugglers’ haunt, the Pilchard Inn, and if you find yourself cut off by the tide, you can catch a ride on the famous sea tractor back across the water.
Bigbury-on-Sea also has a reputation as a fantastic surf destination. Take the plunge with the Discovery Surf School or simply grab your bucket and spade for some traditional sandcastle action on acres of golden sand, or enjoy a swim in the shallow bathing waters. This is a great family beach with life guards on duty from May to September. You can also bring your dog but there are some restrictions during the summer months.
The village has a small shop for all your essentials, and the Venus Café is a great place to refuel after you have worked up an appetite on the beach.
A holiday cottage in Bigbury-on-Sea is the perfect base to relax, unwind and explore the beautiful South Devon coast at your leisure.
