Set in a peaceful conservation village, it offers the perfect blend of rural tranquillity and easy access to Nottingham.From the moment we moved in, Wynstay has been a wonderful family home. The generous rooms are filled with light, and there’s a lovely warmth throughout. Mornings begin with birdsong, and evenings often end by the fire — it’s a home that instantly puts you at ease. Our favourite space is the modern extension, where large glass doors open straight onto the terrace and pool. It’s where we spend most of our time, enjoying the connection between house and garden.

A charming leaded and stained-glass porthole window overlooks the swimming pool below, whilst a further side-facing window enjoys views across the landscaped gardens, allowing for an abundance of natural light and creating an inspiring setting for work or quiet reflection.The leisure wing is a truly striking feature of the home, centred around a superb indoor swimming pool set beneath high ceilings with exposed truss rafter beams. A further leaded and stained-glass porthole window and integrated sound system enhance the atmosphere, while a large bay window creates an inviting seating area ideal for loungers or relaxation. Extensive glazing and four sets of French doors open directly onto an expansive side terrace and the gardens beyond, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor leisure environment.Completing the pool area is a convenient changing room with WC and twin jet shower cubicle.

This elegant approach creates a sense of privacy and quiet seclusion from the outset. Importantly, the driveway also provides convenient access to the adjoining pasture land, allowing the practical field entrance to remain separate from the principal domestic approach.Beyond the gates, the driveway continues through the grounds, providing access to a detached double garage with adjoining workshop or machinery store. The drive culminates in an attractive turning circle, where the eye is drawn to a beautifully composed focal point, an atlas stone sphere and broad stone steps framed by carefully clipped yew hedging.

If your dream home is a lovely oast house surrounded by stunning countryside in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, then look no further than this gorgeous twin oast and barn conversion nestling in 1.19 acres of grounds and with no forward chain. This lovely residence was originally and sympathetically converted in the 1990s to a very high standard by the current owners including the installation of a heat pump, but it also retains many of its original features giving it such a unique character.

INTRODUCTIONBelton House is a truly exceptional coastal home, offering the perfect blend of luxury, space, and serenity. With breathtaking views over the coastline, this remarkable property is designed for those seeking both elegance and tranquility.Flooded with natural light, the spacious interiors span three floors and include five generously sized bedrooms and five bathrooms, offering comfort and flexibility for family life or entertaining guests.The garden is a standout feature — an oasis of calm inspired by the Italian Riviera. Mature Mediterranean planting, including a variety of palm trees, thrives in Torquay’s unique microclimate, creating a lush, exotic atmosphere that feels a world away from everyday life.A beautiful swimming pool completes this private paradise, and with Meadfoot Beach just a short walk away, Belton House truly offers the best of coastal living. This is a rare opportunity to own a peaceful and luxurious retreat in one of the South West’s most desirable locations.SELLERS INSIGHT“It was the garden that first drew me to Belton House. Having grown up in France, I had always dreamed of owning an orangery, and I knew I wanted an established garden, sea views, and — if I was lucky — a swimming pool. Belton House ticked every box.When I saw the wisteria bloom for the first time that May, I knew I’d found something truly special. For the past 15 years, I’ve poured love and care into creating a Mediterranean-style oasis, using no pesticides so that birds, bees, and butterflies could thrive here. Torquay’s unique microclimate has allowed me to grow a huge range of tropical and exotic plants that would never survive elsewhere in the UK.We moved here from London looking for a slower pace of life, proximity to the beach, and excellent schools. Meadfoot Beach is just a ten-minute walk away, and the local grammar schools and 20 nearby beaches made this an ideal location for our family. Despite the peaceful setting, we’re only minutes from Wellswood and its cafés, shops, and restaurants — and the Osborne Hotel is just down the road with an indoor pool and tennis court, which has suited our lifestyle perfectly.Inside, the house feels bright and spacious, with thick walls and large rooms that open up to the sea view. We later converted the attic to create even more space for our growing family. The layout has worked so well over the years — when the children were downstairs with friends, we could barely hear a sound!This home has been our sanctuary. We've hosted countless dinner parties and summer pool gatherings — it’s a sociable, open space, yet it often feels like we’re in the middle of nowhere. Our neighbours have become dear friends, and we’ve created so many memories here.The garden is my pride and joy and will be dearly missed. Belton House is unlike anywhere we’ve ever lived — it’s more than a home; it’s a lifestyle, a retreat, and a little piece of paradise.”STEP INSIDEHidden behind a substantial stone wall and sleek sliding gate, Belton House is a true coastal retreat.From the moment you arrive in the courtyard — where a large feature pond surrounded by mature planting fills the air with the soothing sound of trickling water — you’re immediately immersed in a sense of peace and Mediterranean charm.Step inside to a bright, open hallway, where natural light pours through vertical window panes framing views of the pond. White-washed floorboards and crisp, clean walls give the home a calm, continental feel. For convenience, there is a cloakroom and WC off the hallway.The generously sized living room enjoys stunning ocean views through two large windows. A sleek built-in media unit and electric fireplace add warmth and function, making this a perfect space to unwind. The living room flows seamlessly into the dining room, which has patio doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the side courtyard.The flow continues into the stylish, contemporary kitchen, where patio doors lead to the front terrace and pond, allowing indoor and outdoor spaces to blend harmoniously. At its heart is a large central island with an electric hob, integrated sink, and dishwasher. A wall of cabinetry houses the fridge, freezer, oven, and microwave, creating a highly functional and beautifully designed space.Also on the ground floor is a spacious bedroom suite featuring fitted wardrobes, two large windows framing coastal views, and a luxurious ensuite with both a bath and a walk-in shower.On the first floor, a landing leads to a guest WC and a superb bedroom suite complete with a large double bedroom, dressing room, and an ensuite wet room. Velux windows draw in natural light and capture sea views, while the room is generous enough to accommodate additional living furniture — ideal for guests or extended family.The lower ground floor offers flexible living with three further double bedrooms: one with an ensuite bathroom, another with a Jack-and-Jill shower room connecting to the principal suite, which opens via patio doors onto the terrace overlooking the swimming pool. This level also features a well-equipped laundry room.Additionally, you'll find a study or library with fitted bookshelves, and a second reception room with patio doors leading out to the side courtyard — ideal as a garden room, home office, or additional lounge.USEFUL INFORMATIONServices - Mains gas, water, drainage and electric Tenure - Freehold Council Tax - Torbay Council (G £3,899.72) EPC - D Broadband - www.ofcom.org.uk

From the moment we arrived in 2015, we knew it was special—the sense of space, the skies, the birdsong. It’s just incredibly calming.Set at the end of a quiet lane, with no neighbours in sight, the property offers complete seclusion. It feels like the middle of nowhere—in the best possible way—but we can be in Bridgwater in ten minutes, or on the M5 or train to London just as easilyOriginally a working farm, the property has evolved significantly. It’s been a real labour of love bringing them back to life, working with local craftspeople, using reclaimed materials and making sure everything fits the landscape. The lake has become our favourite spot. There’s a little bridge to an island where we sit in the evenings, watch the birds, light the fire pit. Deer pass through, wild ducks nest here every year. It’s a real sanctuary. We’ve also created a walled kitchen garden, wildflower meadows, and pockets of rewilded land. We arrived city-born and clueless about country life, but our neighbours immediately took us under their wing. Looking ahead, the hardest part of leaving will be the sense of peace. There’ nothing quite like the sunsets here, or the silence in summer when the only sound is the wind in the trees. It’s been a magical chapter.Services & Environmental Considerations To ensure both properties are as energy efficient and self-sufficient as possible, a range of sustainable technologies have been thoughtfully integrated. There are thermal tubes on the farmhouse that assist with hot water, as well as another set of PV panels. Heating is supplied by a biomass boiler with its own dedicated plant room. Mains electricity, Private water supply with private treatment plant for drainage.EPC C - Clayhill Farmhouse
