Home description
Surf is on the edge of the sandhills, and its lounge/sunroom, dining room and largest bedroom all lead out through french doors to the south facing sundeck, which runs across the entire width of the house, with steps down into the partially enclosed part of the half acre garden. Apart from the third bedroom which faces towards the wood on the east side, there are extensive views from all main rooms over the 1000 hectares of Braunton Burrows which forms the centre of the only English Unesco Biosphere Reserve. At the bottom of the garden, the gate leads directly to Saunton Championship Golf Course whose clubhouse and first tee are a stone's throw away, and to the adjacent North Devon Coast Path. There is also a footpath through the sandhills to the 3 mile sandy beach, avoiding crowds and cars. Saunton is a renowned safe surfing beach, with lifeguards, and surf hire and tuition is available. Sandboarding is also popular. .

The West Country / Devon region
Devon has two main moorland regions, Exmoor in the north and Dartmoor to the South. It is predominantly a farming county and one of the main sheep and cattle regions of England. The hilly landscape offers wonderful unspoilt rural views.
The moors offer extensive walking, riding and cycling opportunities and the coasts have some of the best sandy beaches in Britain and are a main surfing centre.
Saunton / Saunton Beach area
Saunton Sands is often listed as the place that has most sun, or the highest temperatures, having a unique microclimate created by the topography.
Though it has the largest, and safest, of the beaches, it is a small place with no caravan or camping sites. Adjacent to the beach there is Sands Restaurant, providing excellent dining as well as a snack bar, beach shop, surf hire and tuition, beach hut hire. There is a church.
