The Property

Tucked discreetly within the heart of the sought-after coastal village of Stoke Fleming, Gingko House offers a rare combination of privacy, space and individuality. Built in 1989 within the former grounds of the local Manor House, this substantial detached home enjoys a tranquil setting, hidden from view yet beautifully connected to the village and the sea beyond. A private Driveway provides generous parking for four to five cars and leads to a detached double Garage.

The Gardens wrap gently around the house, a private sanctuary where mature planting softens every boundary. Lawned areas are interwoven with quiet corners of shade and sunlight, each inviting pause and reflection. The namesake Gingko tree stands as a sculptural focal point, its leaves shimmering in the breeze.To the side, a secluded Patio opens to the Swimming Pool and sun Terrace, an idyllic setting for summer gatherings or quiet moments of stillness. Every pathway leads to another charming sitting area bathing in dappled light beneath the trees.

Inside, Gingko House reveals itself as a home of unexpected scale and versatility. Its reverse-level living design makes the most of the elevated position, creating a sense of intrigue as the spaces unfold.

The Art Studio sits at the heart of the home’s creative spirit, an impressive light-filled room that can adapt effortlessly to changing needs. Whether used as a second Sitting Room, Games Room or an independent guest wing, it offers remarkable freedom. The adjoining Garden Room opens directly onto a sheltered Patio complete with the inviting Swimming Pool, a delightful space that feels both secluded and sociable.

Upstairs, the main living spaces enjoy an outlook that stretches across the village towards the sea. The open plan Living Room, Dining Area and Kitchen flow naturally together, defined by thoughtful zoning that balances openness with a sense of purpose. From the Living Room, sliding doors lead out to a peaceful lawned Garden, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors.

The Kitchen opens onto a broad Terrace perfectly positioned for entertaining or lingering over breakfast as the morning light drifts across the bay, a space that feels both elevated and welcoming, where the gentle sweep of the coastline becomes an ever-changing backdrop to daily life and long, unhurried gatherings. Also on this level, the Principal Bedroom Suite provides a serene retreat with an elegant sense of privacy, while a second expansive Bedroom offers exceptional light and wide views, making it equally suitable as a Studio or inspiring workspace.

On the ground floor, four additional Bedrooms offer comfort and flexibility for family or guests. A spacious linen Closet, Family Bathroom and two separate Shower Rooms complete this level, ensuring practicality sits comfortably alongside the home’s generous proportions.

Gingko House is a home of quiet distinction – creative, generous and deeply connected to its surroundings. A place where light, colour and landscape combine to create a sense of serenity that lingers long after you leave.
