Description
Culloden House, Westward Ho! If you’re searching for an exceptional Victorian residence with truly breathtaking coastal and ocean views, Culloden House is a rare and remarkable find. Blending timeless grandeur with modern comfort, this elegant home offers a wealth of original features, beautifully curated interiors, and a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout.
Formerly a boutique hotel with eight spacious bedrooms, six-and-a-half bathrooms, private parking, a garage, and a beautifully landscaped garden complete with outdoor seating, this is a home designed for both luxurious living and effortless entertaining.
Viewings are strictly by appointment through the sole selling agent, Phillips Smith & Dunn.
From the moment you arrive at Culloden House, its striking Victorian character is immediately apparent. The intricate exterior brickwork, decorative tiling, and charming stained-glass porch set the tone for what lies within.
Step inside and you are welcomed into a light-filled porch, leading through double doors into a truly stunning entrance hall. With soaring 14-foot ceilings, elegant picture rails, and refined panelling, this space feels straight out of a luxury interiors magazine—perfectly balancing classic architecture with a contemporary finish.
The entrance hall also offers a practical cloakroom, a bright home office, and a stylish downstairs WC adorned with distinctive, New Zealand-inspired wallpaper. The grand staircase, bathed in natural light, provides a beautiful focal point.
From the hallway, original pocket doors lead you into two impressive reception rooms: a sitting room to the left and a dining room to the right. These can be enjoyed as separate spaces or opened up for a more sociable, open-plan feel.
Details
The sitting room is flooded with natural light from dual-aspect windows, drawing your eye instantly to the spectacular coastal views. In fact, these uninterrupted vistas can be enjoyed from almost every window in the house—stretching from Lundy Island across to Saunton Sands
The dining room is equally impressive, offering ample space for large gatherings. A bay window provides the perfect setting for a breakfast table, where you can relax and enjoy unforgettable sunsets over the sea.
The kitchen continues the seamless blend of modern design and period charm. Featuring navy cabinetry, a Belfast sink with elegant gold accents, quartz worktops, and integrated appliances, it is both stylish and highly functional.
A central island provides additional seating, storage, a wine fridge, and space for an American-style fridge/freezer—making it the heart of the home.
A glass door leads directly onto a private patio area, ideal for entertaining. Here, you’ll find ample space for outdoor dining, BBQs, and even a six-person hot tub—perfect for making the most of the coastal setting.
Upstairs, the first floor opens onto a bright and spacious landing, leading to four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a dedicated laundry room.
The principal suite is nothing short of spectacular, offering a true five-star hotel experience. With dual-aspect windows framing incredible views, a freestanding roll-top bath positioned by the fireplace, a luxurious en-suite shower room, and a beautifully designed dressing area, this space is both indulgent and serene.
Another bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite and dressing area, while a further bathroom features a freestanding bath—perfect for soaking while taking in the coastal scenery.
The remaining two bedrooms are generous doubles, connected by a stylish Jack and Jill en-suite finished with sage green tiling and a walk-in rainfall shower.
