This is your chance to own my coastal home in Westward Ho!, North Devon — just a short walk from one of the most iconic surf beaches in the UK. I’m Joe, and I originally bought this property as a long term development project.

I subsequently obtained full planning permission to demolish the existing house and replace it with a spectacular contemporary new-build.

It was going to be a huge personal project for me… but instead, I’ve decided to do something completely different — and far more exciting.

Rather than selling this house the ‘usual’ way, I’m giving someone the chance of a lifetime. Whether you want to live by the sea, use it as a coastal escape, redevelop it into your dream home, rent it out, or even take the cash alternative… this is an incredible opportunity.

The winner will receive the freehold property, with all stamp duty, legal fees and transfer costs fully paid. And if the house isn’t for you? You can choose to take £250,000 in cash instead — completely up to you. Tickets are just £5, so what are you waiting for? But first — let me tell you a little more about the property…

🏠 About the House The existing home is a detached 2-bedroom bungalow with a flexible layout, multiple reception rooms, a conservatory, a modern kitchen, dining area, utility space and two double bedrooms upstairs. To the rear is a low-maintenance garden with Astro turf and mature shrubs, plus off-road parking, which is a huge bonus this close to the beach. However, the real magic here is the planning permission. Planning consent (renewed in 2023) allows the new owner to replace the current structure with a striking, modern 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom coastal home designed to maximise light, space and views. The architectural plans are already approved. I have renewed the planning permission twice and the current planning is due to expire in March 2026 so if you want to pursue the new build the planning permission will need to be renewed again which would enable you to put your own stamp onto the design, if you wish. It’s incredibly rare to find a property with both a prime seaside location and planning permission already approved. This is a genuine blank canvas for someone to create something extraordinary.
