4 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Plymouth

The property lies in the low density West Hill, on the edge of Heybrook Bay, a little-known coastal village in the western corner of the South Hams, strategically positioned overlooking the extraordinary sea vista at the mouth of Plymouth Sound with the mesmerising coastline of South East Cornwall beyond.
Description
The detached unique "Merlin's Nest" was completed in 2022, having been designed to exacting thermal standards, and incorporating contemporary technology and innovation. The elevated location dominates the design, configured to take maximum advantage of the setting, which massively benefits from its big-scale view across the bay and foreshore of Heybrook Bay, across the mouth of Plymouth Sound to Cawsand, Rame Head, and over many miles of the Cornish coastline into the horizon.
Designed by an acclaimed architect, the construction is by Potton, established in the 1960's, and well known for their attractive styling, performance and high quality, Merlin's Nest features extensive triple glazing and excellent natural lighting, high ceilings and vaulted upper floor, underfloor heating, mechanical heat recovery system, solar, Tesla battery storage and mains gas fired central heating, advanced security and many other detailed technologies.
Reaching the large entrance terrace the enormity of the view is totally distracting. Entering the house the high ceilings, open-plan spaciousness and thoughtful architecture are complimented by the high standard of presentation. The dining area lies the far side, while the fabulous fitted kitchen, comprehensively fitted and with an array of integrated appliances, benefits from a full view over the terrace to the sea beyond. A large triple aspect sitting room with double entrance doors lies off the central area. Also off the central area lies the cloakroom, utility and plant room with two Tesla Powerwalls.
The upper floor rooms are accessed from the landing, with glazed gallery, and high rising ceilings. Uncompromisingly, the principal bedroom suite is located to take maximum advantage of the views, especially from the balcony, while there is also a well- appointed dressing area with large walk-in wardrobe, and ensuite shower room. The second bedroom is also strategically placed for the views, and is currently used as a study. There are two further bedrooms and a fitted bathroom.
Outside entertaining is almost obligatory in this property, with the large sea facing terrace, complimented by the fitted "beach-style" bar, and Hotspring hot tub. To the rear of the house is an exceptional Mediterranean-style courtyard, flanked by curved high walls by a talented artisan stonemason utilising rustic stone recovered from the site excavation featuring a delightful waterfall and pond. Rising up to the rear there is a grassed lawn, bounded by fencing, and with direct access to a foot path to the National Trust coast at Wembury Point.
Away from tourist routes, and at the very end of a private no-through-road, Merlin's Nest is within the landscape of the South Hams Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and largely National Trust owned coastline with HMS Cambridge directly behind and The South West Coast Path is right on the door step just 100m away, and the Wembury Bay Marine Conservation Area is adjacent. The Eddystone Inn lies in the village, while, just over a mile away at Down Thomas lies the renowned Mussel Inn, Post Office, general stores, and village hall. Wembury, at 1.5 miles, includes a wide variety of facilities and a primary school, while at Plymstock (4 miles) there are comprehensive facilities, secondary schools, and many other amenities. Plymouth's Waterfront, historic Barbican and Hoe area accessible by road (7 miles). However, many favour the water taxi from Mount Batten.
