This 4-bedroom house, designed by the celebrated architect Stan Bolt and completed in 2004, is located on a 1.4-acre site with fine views over Devon countryside.
The architectural critic Hugh Pearman has described the design as "architecture of a high order" (see extract from the Sunday Times article in our History section), and the house has been the recipient of numerous awards both locally and nationally. Designed by Bolt to make the most of the views and to create a light, airy and spacious home, the property is without doubt one of the finest modern houses in the Southwest.
Accommodation includes a dual-aspect living room with distant views of the sea to the front, and access to a south-facing terrace at the back with views over the rear garden and countryside beyond. The master-bedroom suite is also dual-aspect with wonderful views. There are three further bedrooms, and a kitchen and dining room, on the ground floor. The grounds include a large expanse of lawn as well as an orchard, pasture, a greenhouse, a treehouse and various sheds. There is also extensive parking space.
The property is located off a small country road that joins up with the Shaldon to Torquay coastal road. It has a quiet location, although there are immediate neighbours either side. Beaches can be found about a mile away and the nearby village of Stokenteignhead provides a school, shop, pub, church and village hall. For a broader range of amenities, the town of Torquay is 3.5 miles away and Newton Abbot is 6 miles away. Trains run directly from Newton Abbot to London Paddington in approximately two and a half hours.
