The Property
It is rare to find such an elegant stone building, built in a traditional style in the South Hams area that is not listed. The attractive central entrance is framed by an arched doorway, adding to its classic appearance. The mullion sand stone windows are more reminiscent of a house you would find in the Cotswolds. Having distant sea views, the property stands majestically in its plot. All the rooms are beautifully proportioned and filled with light.
A pretty porch leads to a decadent hall with a handmade staircase gently sweeping to the first floor. The main reception rooms lead off the hall. High ceilings and dual aspect sandstone mullioned windows in the drawing room add elegance to this while the handsome sand stone fire place with wood burner makes a stunning focal point. Equally the second reception room at the rear of the house is a perfect formal dining room with French doors opening to a south facing decked area. This dual aspect room with large windows over looking the pristine gardens faces south and west and also has a charming fireplace.
Doors lead from the dining room into a spacious open plan kitchen, dining, living room with sliding patio doors to the garden. The spacious kitchen has a large central Island, with an Aga acting as the focal point for this wonderful family room and the all essential larder. A door leads down to a useful large cellar.
On the ground floor are several useful storage areas and a cloakroom. From the rear hall is access to a single garage which is currently used for storage but could be converted into a useful office space or playroom.
On the first floor are four substantial double bedrooms all with en-suites, two of which have dressing rooms. The master bedroom has superb views of the gardens and distant sea views. Overall the house makes an ideal family property offering space, light and versatility.
The Annexe
The annexe comprises two separate accommodations: the ground floor features a one-bedroom with en-suite and an open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area; the first floor has a bedroom with an en-suite, and a kitchen/seating area, each with its own entrance. The annex is secluded from the main house and garden by established trees, ensuring privacy.
Externally
The front garden features a circular driveway adorned with established flower borders and shrubs with parking for several cars. A side path leads to the spacious rear garden. Off the living accommodation is a patio area that faces south and west – a real sun trap. The rear garden is a stunning beautifully maintained large, flat, lawned area with a feature subterranean Italian-style Cotswold gravel courtyard area with olive and cypress trees all enclosed by low walling with a central fountain, providing a tranquil and elegant setting. A feature pond nestles in the wonderfully established wide flower boarders. The garden is enclosed by a high stone wall on one side and mature hedging on the other.
