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.

features a one bedroom with en suite and an open plan kitchen, dining,

trees, ensuring privacy.
The Gardens
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. At the far end, there is another entrance leading to
additional parking and the annexe. Additionally, there are old stables now
repurposed for storage and a charming greenhouse, enhancing the
property s functionality and appeal.
