INTRODUCTION Set within over two acres in a semi-rural position on the edge of Marldon in the pretty South Hams hamlet of Westerland, boasting privacy without isolation, The Old Coach House is a remarkable 18th-centuary residence.
Period stone elevations give way to a beautifully considered contemporary interior of impressive scale, craftsmanship, and individuality. Extensively and thoughtfully modernised over the years by local trades under architect supervision, it combines the character and substance of a seasoned country home with the comfort, technology and finish expected of modern luxury living. Solid oak joinery, Tuscany Travertine flooring, underfloor heating, bespoke staircases, hand-carved stone arches and floor-to-ceiling glazing all contribute to a home of genuine quality and presence. The accommodation extends to approx 3990 sq ft, with a further ancillary complex of approximately 3,599 sq ft, creating an exceptional lifestyle opportunity for those seeking space, flexibility, and privacy. Outside the gardens and grounds are equally impressive, with extensive vegetable/flower raised beds, fruit trees, a potting shed, and beautiful views across the surrounding area towards Dartmoor. A lift connects the main house level to the annex, adding a rare level of practicality and convenience. STEP INSIDE The property with CCTV, is approached via a long sweeping driveway, through electric gates, with an entry system connected at various points throughout the house. The entrance hall immediately sets the tone, with Travertine flooring, solid oak detailing and a staircase rising to the first floor. A fully fitted utility room sits nearby, leading to a cloakroom and boiler. The kitchen/breakfast room is beautifully appointed and designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind. Bespoke Arrival Italian cabinetry is paired with granite worktops and upstands, Neff appliances, and Franke sink.
Gothic-style arched windows overlook the rear courtyard, with stable door opening directly outside. Underfloor heating continues through this area, zoned separately for comfort between the kitchen and dining spaces. From the kitchen, the accommodation flows into a sitting room with surround sound, an electric blind and a bay window overlooking the courtyard. This continues through to the dining room where the Travertine flooring continues and tri-folding doors open out to the garden. From here the covered decked terrace creates a wonderful extension of the living space, framed by beautiful stone arches and offering a sheltered place to dine and entertain outdoors. The drawing room is a generous and elegant reception room, with Swarovski lighting adding a refined finish. Additional features include a further cloakroom, coat storage and multiple access points to the gardens. The first floor continues the sense of scale and craftsmanship. The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive suite, with double-aspect windows, Juliet balconies overlooking the grounds and views towards Dartmoor. There are two fully fitted walk-in wardrobes and a beautifully appointed en suite featuring Denzili Travertine tiling, underfloor heating, wet room shower and stone bath handmade in Bali. There are four further bedrooms, several with fitted wardrobes and two en suite facilities, wet room showers, Travertine tiling and underfloor heating. A secondary landing, linked to the principal en suite, provides access to the second en suite bedroom, creating a sense of privacy and flexibility for guest or family members. STEP OUTSIDE The gardens and grounds are a defining feature of The Old Coach House, extending to over two acres and offering a rare combination of landscaped entertaining space, productive garden areas, lawns and practical external facilities, with a secure gated service road, showcasing a back drop of Dartmoor National Park. The house opens onto extensive Ipe hardwood decking, laid over a concrete sub-base to provide a solid, long-lasting and beautifully finished outdoor living area.  There is also a barbecue area with power and light, creating a natural setting for Summer gatherings. The gardens are predominately laid to lawn, with robotic mowing, automatic irrigation, and various water points and lighting. The courtyard garden has raised beds, seating, and secondary electric pedestrian access. Just over an acre of the garden, to the West of the property, has the added benefit of Planning Consent. This consent granted in 2025 is unconditional Planning in Principle for up to three dwellings. This permission offers a substantial financial bonus and great opportunity for the next owner. Whether they choose to simply enjoy the house, gardens, and grounds as they are, or explore the potential further with a view to future investment security. The Old Coach House is a very special property with an enormous amount to offer.
One of the most unusual and valuable features is the substantial garage and workshop complex, extending to approx 3,559 sq ft, it includes garaging for many cars, with automated shutter doors, lift access to upper level, a workshop, office, gym, garden loo, and golf simulator room. All of which have air conditioning, electricity, broadband, water, and separate phone line. The internal partitions are removable, allowing the building to be opened up into one vast space if required. It is an exceptional asset for car enthusiasts, collectors, business owners, hobbyists or those needing significant secure storage space. USEFUL INFORMATION Freehold - unlisted
