Devon’s dream house hits the market (Image: BNPS)

Dreaming of replacing your home office with a WFB (it’s a beach job, FYI)?

If so, we may have the perfect home for you. And you don’t even have to fly in sunny weather.

A stunning beach house with its own private beach in Devon.

And now that it’s on the market, you can customize it if you have £5m to spare.

The Inverdart Boathouse was 14 years of loving labor for its owners, who carved the site out of solid rock to offer uninterrupted views of the river and ocean.

This historic castle-like property won the 2013 House Building and Renovation Award and has been recognized as a ‘Pioneer Self-Build’.

Located near the mouth of the River Dart in Kingswear, Devon, this house is only accessible by foot (paths and stairs) or by boat.

But if you mind hiking, you can enjoy your own private beach. At low tide the pier turns into a bank, so you have your own little beach at low tide.

The property itself is quite special, at 4,000 square feet spread over 4 floors.

There’s an indoor pool with a handmade Roman spring on the ground floor (if you don’t want to swim in the sea?), and a kitchen and dining room with a terrace on the second floor.

There are two bedrooms, two baths and a library on the second floor, a home office or media room, and another sun deck on the second floor.

The entire home has been designed to maximize the stunning ocean views, so wherever you sit in the home, you’ll be surrounded by natural beauty.

As for the outside space, there is a Mediterranean garden made up of several terraces.

The basement level contains the original boathouse built in the 1850s and a 16-foot boat launch.

Sarah-Jane Bingham-Cheek of Savills, who is selling the property, said:

This extraordinary home is enough to embark on such an extraordinary project to create the most iconic home using the finest materials, unparalleled structural engineering, and unparalleled craftsmanship. It was clearly endearing to the owner, that he was so daring.

In addition, the house is equipped with the latest technology so that whoever is lucky enough to become the next caretaker of the house can lead a comfortable 21st century life.

“Inverdart is the real deal and we are sure it will attract the interest of everyone who wants to live in one of the best homes on the Southwest Coast.”
