A heated hydrotherapy spa pool looking out across a meadow to woodland, an indoor sauna right beside it, a fire pit for clear North Devon nights – this house is built around rest and relaxation. The main bedroom opens onto the deck through bi-fold doors, and a freestanding bathtub sits under skylights for late-night stargazing. When you want a little more, a private chef is available on request, and optional sound baths, Pilates sessions, and beauty treatments can be arranged. There's even a private driving range for golf enthusiasts. Bideford Quay and its historic waterfront are about twenty minutes by car. Even closer – just a ten-minute walk – is Fremington, home to shops, pubs, and restaurants.
