Every window and balcony of the property offers a stunning sea view and the local town can provide all the essential amenities.
Private steps lead from the property to the sea offering easy beach access to the owner.
Croft Residential went on to say: " Homes of this calibre - with direct beach access, panoramic views, and a front row seat to the Jurassic coastline - are incredibly scarce and almost never come to market.
"Whether you're dreaming of a serene coastal retreat to call home or an utterly unique holiday escape, this exceptional property delivers on every level, combining comfort, character, and an unrivalled location by the sea."
Beacholme came on the market on June 17 and is currently open for viewings and bids.

Inside the 'saddest' Grand Designs house
Savills's listing reads: "The property represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take on and finish the specification and fit out of one of the UK's most spectacularly situated coastal homes.
"The bespoke design has been brought to life through impressive engineering, with the building being anchored to the bedrock, blending whitewashed elevations with steel and glass, culminating with a lighthouse feature at one end giving almost 360-degree views of the coastline.
"The position combines privacy with a diverse range of breath-taking views, all set in around 3 acres, which includes a large area of foreshore, a private tidal beach area and coves."
The property is set in three acres of land and is equipped with an infinity pool and a hot tub as well as a spacious driveway.
Nic Chbat, director of Match Property estate agents in North Devon, who previously assisted with finding a buyer last year said at the time the sale stalled after the timeframe for the sale "expired".
He added the previous buyer was 'still wanting to buy the property,' and the sale was still expected to proceed.
The new listing though would suggest the purchase was never made with the sale now being handled by London-based estate agents Savills.
A spokeswoman for both Savills and the receivers Bellevue Mortlakes said: "The sale represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase one of the UK's most spectacularly situated coastal homes and for the buyer to put the finishing touches to the property's interior to their own specification.
'The current sale price (offers in excess of £5.25m) represents fair value noting the prevailing economic and heterogeneous nature of this opportunity.
"The property has panoramic sea views and is set in grounds of over three acres, including foreshore and a tidal beach, with accommodation extending to over 6,260 sq ft.
'The detached guest lodge/holiday let accommodation extends to about 1,270 sq ft and is included in the sale price.
'Subject to registration with the agents, the receiver has provided an extensive suite of information and supporting documentation relating to the building's history, construction and title, which are available via an online data room."

"I was in a big pit of depression," she says. "I'd lost all hope and I thought I wasn't going to ever be able to do anything."I was like, 'What is the point of leaving the house? What is the point of even getting up in the morning to do anything?'" Writing and playing music, alone in her room, offered Grace some rare moments of solace. "Music is really the thing that's saved me from my Tourette's," she says. "When I play, my tics calm down instantly. Music calms me down. I focus on the drumbeat or I work out which chords are being played. Music is a massive escape."That is why, despite some hesitancy, she auditioned to sing as part of a national awareness campaign organised by charity Tourettes Action.

I produce my own music and I can put it out to the world."

I was starring at Wimbledon when I got an audition to be the next James Bond.. but my wife didn't want to be a Bond girl
WIMBLEDON hero Roger Taylor was in the running to succeed Sean Connery as James Bond — until his wife turned down his key swimwear audition. Sheffield-born Taylor, 83, made three Wimbledon semi-finals, in 1967, 1970 and 1973, and was the nation's favourite tennis underdog before Tim Henman came along. 3 For the first time, he has revealed how he was asked to attend a casting session for the 1969 flick On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Connery, who died in 2020 aged 90, launched the spy film franchise series with Dr. No in 1962 but stood down from the role five years later. Handsome, 6ft, left-hander Taylor's appearance in the 1967 Queen's final gained a lot of 'interest from Hollywood'. Noel Berryman, the vice-chairman of Queen's Club, claimed the wife of scriptwriter Richard Maybourne had watched that final and proclaimed to her husband: 'There's your new James Bond.' Writing in his new autobiography, The Man Who Saved Wimbledon, Taylor recalled: 'I assumed this was some kind of a wind-up. 'Noel insisted he was deadly serious and asked if I'd be interested in meeting some of the money men at their offices in Park Lane to talk about the project. 'My wife Frances started laughing, saying the whole thing was ridiculous. 'But I was keen to explore the options despite never having set foot on a stage before or done any acting. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS 'So, in between winning a few matches that first week, I stared menacingly into mirrors trying to capture the essence of 007. 'Sunday came around and we headed into town. Former Wimbledon champion resurfaces in viral ad with Rafael Nadal three years after bombshell retirement 3 'I was in a state of conflict: excited, nervous and also worried that my attention was being taken away from Wimbledon. We arrived and I was shepherded into a room full of men. 'Two of these moguls had huge cigars and they all stared at me without saying a word... not one word. 'They kept staring, making me feel incredibly self-conscious! And that was it. 'I never even had a chance to tell them 'I'm Bond, James Bond, don't you know' before the meeting ended and then I headed back to Wimbledon.' As the tournament progressed, Berryman informed Taylor he had done enough to secure a second test at Pinewood Studios — but 'could I bring my swimsuit!' Taylor, who is now married to his second wife Alison, said: 'At which point Frances became very irate. She's a Scottish Baptist and clearly didn't fancy becoming a Bond girl. 'I'm often asked how much I regret not making more of the opportunity and still laugh at some of the reports from those days which referred to me as the James Bond of tennis.' Bond bosses went for Aussie model George Lazenby. Yorkshireman Taylor, who has incurable amyloidosis, added: 'A few years on, I was in California, sitting at a bar. Next to me was a guy who looked like a broken man. Very much the worse for wear. It was Lazenby! 'I wondered if maybe I'd had a lucky escape after all. 'That said, every time I watch a Bond movie there's a little bit of me that wonders what if? And I did perfect the 'Bond, James Bond' line, you know.' The Man Who Saved Wimbledon — Roger Taylor's official biography, published by Pitch Publishing, £25, is out June 30.
