Graynfylde Drive, Bideford, Devon, EX39

Eastpoint is a striking contemporary landmark residence, thoughtfully integrated into its surroundings and perched in an elevated position overlooking the River Torridge and the charming port and market town of Bideford.

Individually designed by an architect and constructed in 2009 to the highest specifications this home exemplifies outstanding craftsmanship. With a sleek, high-tech kitchen, luxurious bathrooms, solid oak flooring, and underfloor heating on both levels, the property exudes modern elegance.

This is a rare chance to own a truly unique home in an enviable location. The property boasts two expansive sun terraces, one featuring a 20-foot plunge pool, offering sweeping, panoramic views over the ever-changing scenery of the River Torridge.

The rear of the house is framed by floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors, perfectly capturing the beautiful surroundings and filling the interior with natural light.

From Graynfylde Drive, large wooden gates open into a spacious parking area with room for multiple vehicles and direct access to a double garage. The front door leads into a generous entrance hall with ample storage for coats and shoes, and an additional door provides access to the garage.

Upon entering, oak double doors reveal an impressive open-plan living area featuring a soaring double vaulted ceiling, a modern wood-burning stove, and a central skylight that fills the space with natural light. The layout is designed for flexibility, offering areas for dining and relaxation, with the kitchen subtly separated by waist-high partitions. Double doors open out to a spacious sun terrace with a sleek glass balustrade, providing breathtaking views of the lower pool terrace, garden, river, and the charming town of Bideford. Steps lead seamlessly to the lower level and garden, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.

The well-equipped kitchen boasts high-gloss cabinetry, pull-out larder cupboards, granite countertops with cut drainer grooves, and undermounted sinks. Integrated appliances include a NEFF 5-burner gas hob, eye-level oven, grill, microwave, dishwasher, and an American fridge freezer, complemented by floor-level lighting for a modern touch.

A door from the kitchen leads to a practical utility room with built-in storage, a sink, space for a fridge, and the gas central heating boiler. This level also features a study with a built-in desk and a cloakroom with a WC.

A central staircase descends to the lower level, where all the bedrooms are located. This floor includes a spacious utility/laundry room with a sink, ample countertop space, plumbing for a washing machine, built-in shelving, underfloor heating controls, a large hot water tank, and additional storage.

The bedrooms are generously proportioned, including two exceptional principal suites with floor-to-ceiling windows and doors opening onto the pool terrace, each accompanied by luxurious en suite shower rooms. There are two additional bedrooms with en suite shower rooms and a flexible den that can be used as an extra double bedroom.

Outside the property there are two sun terraces with which to enjoy the river views, a glass of wine and some alfresco dining. The grounds are relatively low maintenance with mature shrubs, trees and bushes, a lawned area and decked terrace that includes a sunken hot tub and outdoor lighting. There is a large Summer house currently used as a pottery studio (complete with power and lighting), which can be easily converted into a garden room or retreat. A path connects the side of the house to the lower garden area, adding to the serene ambiance of the grounds.
From Bideford Quay, proceed over the old bridge and at the mini roundabout take the first exit. Continue up the hill and turn right into Old Barnstaple Road. Turn immediately right into Graynfylde Drive where the entrance to Eastpoint can be found on the right.
