North Devon Coast, Saunton BeachThe North Devon Coast is arguably one of the most sought after seafront locations and is the perfect setting for this fantastic beach front waterfront home. This area of North Devon is noted for its coastline of spectacular cliffs, much of it in the ownership and protection of the National Trust, secret coves and sandy beaches, with a hinterland of wild moorland, sparkling river valleys and lush rolling hills.
