Gemani — a stunning coastal apartment with sweeping views of sea and sky.

Set high above Woolacombe’s golden sands, Gemani is more than a home – it is a narrative written in sea, sky, and light. Each day begins with the first blush of dawn spilling across the bay, painting the horizon in shimmering tones of pink and gold. Afternoons drift by to the rhythmic percussion of waves rolling onto shore, while evenings draw to a close beneath skies awash with fiery sunsets and the glimmer of stars reflected on the ocean.

This is not merely an apartment, but a front-row seat to one of Britain’s most celebrated coastlines – a place where the majesty of the natural world is stitched into the fabric of daily life. Here, modern comfort harmonises with timeless seascapes, creating a retreat that is at once restorative and exhilarating. its a full time home, a part time residence, a holiday let investment.

Gemani is a well designed ground floor converted apartment created with intelligence and intent across split levels to make the very most of its commanding position. Glazed bay windows invite the outdoors in, filling each room with shifting light and endless vistas. A wide front terrace extend the living spaces outward, offering unrivalled panoramas of Woolacombe Bay – the perfect stage for morning coffee, alfresco dining, or simply pausing to watch the tides ebb and flow.

Inside, the home is both sleek and soulful. An open-plan living area forms the heart of the property, blending elegance with practicality. With four to five bedrooms and two bathrooms, the accommodation is versatile – equally suited to family living, entertaining guests, or creating work-from-home sanctuaries. Every corner speaks of thoughtful design: spaces that invite relaxation, flow seamlessly, and provide sanctuary when desired. Private parking, garaging, and landscaped grounds complete the picture of a residence built not just for beauty, but for ease of life.

To live in Woolacombe is to embrace a lifestyle defined by natural splendour and a rare sense of freedom. Its award-winning beach, voted among the best in Europe, stretches for three sweeping miles – a golden ribbon of sand edged by dunes and kissed by Atlantic rollers. Surfers carve their way across turquoise waves, families build sandcastles in sheltered coves, and walkers lose themselves in the South West Coast Path that threads along the cliffs.

The village itself hums with energy and charm: artisan cafés, surf boutiques, and cosy pubs that embody the spirit of North Devon hospitality. Venture further and you’ll find the rugged wilds of Exmoor National Park, the tranquil coves of Lee Bay and Mortehoe, and the bustling market towns of Braunton and Barnstaple, where every modern amenity awaits. Woolacombe is not simply a place to visit – it is a place to belong, to explore, and to return to time and again.

The beauty of this home is that it works for you even when you are not there.
