Recommended videos for you
A dozen years ago, all that stood on this spot was the remains of an old lighthouse building. It’s a part of the North Devon coast that’s as wild and exposed as anywhere along the South-West coastal path, sitting on the rocky headland between Saunton Sands and Croyde Beach, facing directly west towards the Atlantic Ocean. From here, the next landfall is Newfoundland.
Today, it’s the site of one of the most eye-catching coastal homes in Britain, a home in which everything possible has been done to bring bricks, mortar, cliffs and water together.
