INTRODUCTIONCommanding a magnificent position between Dartmoor National Park and the South Devon coast, Bickington Barton is an exceptional 16th-century grade II listed country residence that seamlessly blends historic charm with modern rural living. Set within just over six acres of glorious Devon countryside, this distinguished property offers a rare lifestyle opportunity — combining character, versatility, and breathtaking views in equal measure.Beautifully presented, the main house retains a wealth of period features, from exposed beams and granite fireplaces to graceful proportions throughout. The grounds encompass a range of traditional barns, a stable block, and a former piggery, presenting exciting potential for equestrian use or a thriving smallholding. With ample space and privacy, the property also lends itself to multi-generational living or guest accommodation, with scope to create an impressive annex or holiday retreat (subject to planning consents).Peacefully positioned on the edge of a charming rural village, Bickington Barton enjoys an idyllic countryside setting, offering an unparalleled Devon lifestyle of comfort, heritage, and natural beauty.HISTORYWith roots reaching deep into England’s early history, Bickington Barton occupies land first settled during the Saxon era and is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. The property forms part of a rich rural heritage, in the company of other period homes and barn conversions, all built around the 15th-century village church — a timeless setting that has evolved gracefully through the centuries.Once owned by the Bickford family, a name long associated with local prosperity, the estate bears a proud connection to William Bickford, inventor of the pioneering Safety Fuse in 1831 — a creation that transformed the mining industry by drastically improving safety of the miners.Many of the home’s original architectural features remain beautifully preserved, including granite pillars and fireplaces, and an exquisite plank-and-muntin screen, each echoing the craftsmanship of a bygone age.The surrounding landscape tells its own story. Just down the lane, The Dartmoor Halfway Inn recalls a time when farmers transporting livestock to coastal market ports would rest overnight — drawn by the fertile land and natural wells that sustained travellers and animals alike. Today, gazing across the rolling fields, it is easy to imagine the scene centuries ago — animals grazing on the same rich pasture and the enduring rhythm of rural Devon life continuing much as it always has.STEP INSIDEGranite pillars herald the entrance to Bickington Barton, inviting you into a home where history and character are woven into every detail. Upon entering, the reception room immediately impresses, featuring a large fireplace, wooden flooring, and a window overlooking the picturesque garden, complete with fitted wooden shutters.

Solid oak worktops and wooden units frame an electric AGA with electric module, complemented by a bespoke mantel. Original granite flooring and marble tops surrounding the sink lend timeless elegance.Adjacent, a utility room — originally the kitchen — provides practical washing facilities and leads to a spacious pantry housing large electric batteries (available by negotiation). The property also includes a boot room, with a range of units, ideal as kitchen overspill plus access to the rear courtyard so ideal for bringing in dirty boots and pets. A cloakroom adds convenience with attractive tiled flooring linking to the boot room.Ascending to the upper floors, the property offers six generously proportioned bedrooms, arranged around a split-level landing that reflects the home’s historic character.The main bedroom is a particularly impressive space, once likely two separate rooms, now offering a spacious retreat complete with a modern ensuite, dressing room, and breathtaking views across the surrounding Devon countryside.Five of the bedrooms enjoy stunning vistas, with windows overlooking the front and side of the house and the sweeping landscape beyond.

The main bathroom is elegantly appointed, featuring a sunken bath, and wooden flooring.SELLERS INSIGHT“When we first discovered Bickington Barton, we instantly fell in love with its rural tranquillity and timeless charm. We wanted something that felt truly remote — surrounded by countryside and nature — yet still close enough to everyday life. Here, we found that perfect balance. The house is just minutes from everything — the moors, the coast, and nearby towns — yet when you arrive, it feels as though you’re miles from anywhere.As a family, we needed to be near good schools and local amenities, and honestly, we didn’t think we’d find somewhere that offered both practicality and seclusion. Then we found Bickington Barton — and it changed everything. It’s so quiet and private, and the setting has given us a lifestyle we only ever dreamed of.We always wanted to try our hand at a smallholding, especially while the children were young enough to enjoy it, and this property gave us the confidence to do just that. It’s given us all a new lease of life — fresh air, space, and the joy of living in tune with the land.We adore the character and history of the house. It’s incredible to think of the generations who have lived here before us, and the many centuries of stories within these walls. Every quirky feature — from the granite pillars to the old plank-and-muntin screen — adds to its charm, and we’ve loved every single one of them.As the children grew, the space here has been a blessing — everyone has room to spread out without ever feeling on top of each other. The bedroom at the rear has been ideal for visiting family and later became a perfect space for our eldest son, giving him independence while still keeping him close.Outside there are no limitations, life flows easily between swimming in the pool during summer, lounging or working in the garden, or tending to the animals year-round. Living here has brought us such a healthy, balanced way of life, and we’ll always be grateful for the years we’ve spent as part of this incredible home’s story. Now, it’s time for someone else to fall in love with Bickington Barton and make their own story.”STEP OUTSIDEThe front of Bickington Barton is approached via a private driveway, offering ample parking and a five-bar gate leading to the yard.

INTRODUCTIONIn an elevated position at the end of a long, private and gently meandering drive, Parklands enjoys a wonderfully discreet setting close to the heart of Lustleigh — widely regarded as one of Devon’s most picturesque villages. Positioned on the eastern fringes of Dartmoor National Park within the idyllic Wray Valley, the property offers a rare equilibrium: complete peace and seclusion, yet with swift access to the A38 and onward connections beyond.A handsome example of Victorian Gothic architecture, the house, which is not listed, immediately conveys both stature and permanence. Internally, the accommodation unfolds with the scale, symmetry and ceiling heights so emblematic of the period, creating a home of genuine architectural presence.Reception space is both generous and versatile, thoughtfully arranged to provide an excellent flow for family life and entertaining alike.

When we first arrived, we knew immediately that it was somewhere special — a house full of character, surrounded by beautiful grounds, and set in a landscape that feels endlessly inspiring. It quickly became our dream home.Our children have grown up here and absolutely flourished in this setting. There is something magical about living somewhere like this — the freedom of the gardens, the sense of adventure in the grounds, and the ever-changing landscape beyond. It offers everything you could hope for from a countryside home, and it has provided the backdrop to so many cherished memories as a family.One of the things we have loved most is the location. Lustleigh is such a special place and increasingly rare to find these days. There is a genuine sense of community in the village, and it’s something we’ve always valued enormously. Being able to walk into the village in just five or ten minutes has been a real joy — whether for the shop, meeting friends, or village events — yet when you return to Parklands, you feel completely removed from everything, as though you are a million miles away.The views are something we will miss deeply. Every window frames a different outlook across the gardens, trees and surrounding countryside. The landscape constantly changes — with the seasons, the light and even throughout the day — so there is always something beautiful to look at.Parklands has become such a part of us and our lives that it will always hold a very special place in our hearts. However, the time has come for a new chapter, and we hope another family will come here and start creating their own memories. We certainly know that we will never forget a single day of living here.”STEP INSIDEAn original timber door leads into a practical sun/boot room with stone paved floor — an appropriate prelude to a house so intrinsically connected to its landscape.

Originally built in 1927, the property enjoys a remarkable setting where far-reaching countryside views, golden sunsets and an ever-changing natural backdrop create an exceptional sense of peace and wellbeing.Set within beautifully established gardens of rare scale, Aboveways offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find — a home immersed in nature, yet just a short five-minute stroll from the vibrant village centre and its celebrated community spirit.The property has been thoughtfully arranged to embrace its surroundings, with every room and window drawing the outside in. Whether enjoying morning coffee overlooking the gardens, entertaining in the grounds, or simply watching the evening light settle across the valley, the connection between home and landscape is ever-present.Combining timeless character, flexibility for guests or multi-generational living, and extraordinary outdoor space, Aboveways is a truly special Dartmoor home.SELLERS INSIGHT“One of the first things that completely sold the house to us was the garden and the view. The moment we arrived, we were captivated by the openness, the incredible light and the far-reaching outlook across the valley. Being positioned on the light side of the valley makes such a difference — the house is constantly filled with sunshine and the sunsets are simply breathtaking. We often joke that we bought the garden with a house attached.The garden has been at the centre of so much of our life here. It has become a real gathering place for family and friends and we have spent countless afternoons and evenings socialising outdoors, moving between the different seating areas and simply enjoying being surrounded by nature. Our grandchildren absolutely adore it here — they even call it ‘Nanny’s park’ because there is so much space to explore and play.We also spend a huge amount of time in the conservatory. The views are incredible throughout the seasons and it always feels connected to the garden and landscape beyond. There is constantly something changing outside, whether it’s the planting, the wildlife or the shifting light across the valley.The guest suite has worked brilliantly for us over the years too. Friends and family can enjoy their own independence from the main house while still feeling connected, and everyone who stays immediately falls in love with the peaceful atmosphere here.Lustleigh itself is incredibly special and has such a genuine sense of community, which is becoming harder and harder to find nowadays. There is always something happening, whether it’s events at the village hall, the history society, pilates, yoga, badminton, quizzes or the gardening society. It is such a warm and welcoming place for all ages.It’s also wonderful for family life. The preschool is lovely, there are beautiful walks from the doorstep, and the village orchard — generously donated to the community — is such a special feature. We’ve loved having easy access to running, cycling and dog walking routes stretching towards Moretonhampstead and across Dartmoor.Despite feeling wonderfully rural and peaceful, the location is incredibly convenient too, with easy access to the A30 and A38, making the coast, London and even Cornwall surprisingly accessible.Aboveways has given us the best of everything — community, nature, privacy, views and a home that constantly draws you outdoors. It is going to be incredibly difficult to leave.”STEP INSIDEA small entrance porch opens into a welcoming hallway where wooden flooring and the staircase rising to the first floor immediately set the tone for the home’s warm and characterful interior.The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed in a timeless country style, combining traditional charm with practical modern living.

Having always lived with neighbours close by, we wanted somewhere private yet still near amenities—and this home gave us exactly that.The outbuilding has been the perfect art studio, while the extensive gardens have provided endless opportunities for our children and animals to grow, play, and explore. It feels so special that the house blends so naturally into the countryside; you’d hardly know it was here. There’s always a sunny spot to sit, and the orchard and trees have been a constant source of joy for us.We love being so close to the Moors—ideal for walking our dogs. The landscape is breathtaking in every season, from snowy winter walks to summer days on nearby beaches.The eco-friendly features have been a real benefit—our borehole, biomass boiler, and solar panels mean the house is comfortable all year round with a low environmental footprint. The flexible layout has worked brilliantly for us, with bedrooms swapping as the children grew, and plenty of space for guests who love having their own area.This home has been the backdrop to so many memories: hosting home education groups of 30–40 children, bird of prey camps, birthdays, and visits from local people who remember playing here in their childhood. There’s ample parking, excellent fibre connection (even in the studio), and the outbuildings have given us incredible opportunities for work and hobbies.We will especially miss the magnificent Copper Beech tree at the centre of the garden—it has always felt like the heart of this special place.”STEP OUTSIDEThe grounds, extending to just over 3 acres, are nothing short of enchanting. A gardener’s dream, they are divided into distinct areas of interest, filled with fruit trees—The ancient orchard has dozens of apples, alongside pear, plum, quince and fig. A fenced enclosure is ideal for chickens or small livestock.In one direction lies the site of a former swimming pool, now reimagined with a thatched roof structure used as a seating area with patio space and box hedging, perfect for gatherings. Stone steps create a charming amphitheatre-style feature, which has been used for events such as home education groups. A bridge over a lily pond continues the journey through the grounds, with hedging marking the boundaries and ensuring privacy.The outbuildings are equally impressive. A large detached, listed barn with mezzanine (once a hayloft) and adjoining store offers huge versatility.

Farmhouse with outbuildings and garden Totnes (United Kingdom)
INTRODUCTIONSet within approximately two acres of idyllic South Hams countryside, Harbourne Valley Farm presents a rare and versatile lifestyle opportunity on the edge of the sought-after village of Harbertonford. Combining the charm of a characterful 200-year-old farm house with the flexibility of a beautifully converted barn, this unique offering is perfectly suited to multigenerational living, income generation, or those seeking a peaceful countryside retreat with exceptional adaptability.The principal farm house is deceptively spacious, offering three-bedroom accommodation rich in warmth and character, while the detached barn conversion—thoughtfully converted in the early 2000s—provides an additional two/three-bedroom residence with its own distinct personality and style. Complementing the accommodation further is a detached garden studio, ideal for home working, creative pursuits, guest overflow or wellness space.Surrounded by rolling countryside and enjoying a tranquil yet highly convenient setting, Harbourne Valley Farm captures the essence of rural South Devon living. The property enjoys excellent access to the wild beauty of Dartmoor National Park, the stunning South Hams coastline and beaches, whilst remaining within easy reach of nearby market towns and commuter routes connecting across Devon.The versatility here is exceptional. Whether utilised as two independent homes for extended family, as a home with ancillary accommodation for holiday letting or income potential, or reconfigured into one substantial residence (subject to any necessary consents), Harbourne Valley Farm offers a lifestyle opportunity rarely found in such a well-connected countryside setting. There is also potential opportunity to acquire additional adjoining land, further enhancing the appeal for those seeking a smallholding, equestrian potential or simply greater privacy and space.Both homes enjoy their own unique charm and atmosphere, creating a wonderful balance between period character and modern country living in one of the South Hams’ most desirable village settings.SELLERS INSIGHT“When we found Harbourne Valley Farm, we knew almost immediately that it was something incredibly special. We had spent over a year searching for the right setup for ourselves and my parents, but everything we viewed seemed to offer a lovely main house with only a very small annexe attached. What we really wanted was two proper homes — equal in size, quality and comfort — where we could all enjoy independence whilst still being close enough to support one another. That proved surprisingly difficult to find, until we arrived here.Moving from London, we were searching for a completely different pace of life — the ‘good life’ people dream about. We wanted space, countryside, nature and somewhere our son could grow up surrounded by the outdoors. Watching him explore the land, enjoy the wildlife and simply have the freedom to be outside has been incredibly special for us as a family.Of course, we wanted views too — who doesn’t? But equally, we didn’t want to feel completely isolated. Harbourne Valley Farm somehow manages to strike the perfect balance. You feel wonderfully private and immersed in the countryside, without feeling cut off from the world. There’s such a peaceful atmosphere here and a real sense of quiet enjoyment. Even though the property is conveniently positioned for easy access in and out of Totnes and the surrounding area, once you are within the grounds it feels remarkably secluded and calm.We absolutely love being just five minutes from Totnes. It’s such a vibrant and spirited town with so much character. My parents especially love being close to the Dartington Trust — they are members there and spend so much time enjoying the grounds, café and art programmes. Having that nearby has become a huge part of their lifestyle here.The setup of the homes has worked brilliantly for us. We each have our own space and independence because the properties are detached, yet we are close enough to help one another whenever needed. It has been the perfect multigenerational arrangement.The privacy here is also something we’ve always appreciated. The electric gates and long driveway create such a wonderful sense of arrival and security. You never have people passing your front door, and once you’re home, you really do feel tucked away in your own peaceful world.This home has given us exactly the lifestyle we hoped for when we left London — space, freedom, nature, family connection and a sense of calm that is very hard to leave behind.”STEP INSIDE THE FARM HOUSEThe original farm house sits proudly in front of the barn, overlooking an attractive garden and adjoining open farmers’ fields, immediately capturing the quintessential charm of an English country home. Constructed from beautiful rendered stone and dating back over 200 years, the farm house enjoys an unmistakably picturesque appearance, perfectly in keeping with its idyllic South Hams surroundings.A welcoming entrance porch opens into the heart of the home, where the farm house’s warmth and character are immediately apparent. The principal reception room centres around a striking dual-sided fireplace set within a painted exposed stone wall, creating a natural focal point enjoyed from both the main sitting room and the adjoining snug or reading room beyond. These connected spaces offer a cosy yet sociable atmosphere, ideal for quieter evenings or relaxed entertaining, while the surrounding windows frame delightful views across the gardens and countryside beyond.Stairs rise from the reception room to the first floor, while a doorway leads through to the dining room where the true scale of the farm house begins to reveal itself. This in turn flows into a generous country-style kitchen, thoughtfully fitted with modern cabinetry and warm wooden worktops that complement the home’s period character beautifully. The kitchen provides ample space for everyday family life whilst maintaining a timeless countryside aesthetic.Beyond the kitchen, a useful utility room offers additional practicality with direct access to the courtyard, alongside a well-appointed shower room ideally suited to muddy boots, dogs returning from countryside walks or visiting guests. Throughout, the interiors have been tastefully and neutrally decorated, allowing the charm of the farm house itself to take centre stage.Upstairs, the farm house continues to impress with three comfortable double bedrooms, each enjoying peaceful outlooks across the surrounding countryside and grounds. A well-presented family bathroom serves the accommodation, completing a home that successfully blends period character with practical modern living.Despite its charming farm house façade, the property offers surprisingly generous accommodation throughout, creating a home that feels both intimate and spacious in equal measure.STEP INSIDE THE BARNThe detached barn conversion offers a wonderful contrast to the traditional farm house, blending rustic architectural character with a more contemporary, almost art deco-inspired aesthetic. Converted in the early 2000s, the barn has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate volume, light and texture, resulting in a home that feels both creative and inviting.At its heart is a striking principal reception room where exposed stone walls, warm wooden flooring and a corner wood burning stove combine to create an atmosphere that is both cosy and dramatic. A concealed cloakroom allows the design to remain clean and uncluttered.From here, the accommodation flows naturally into the impressive split-level kitchen and dining space, undoubtedly one of the barn’s standout features. Beautifully arranged with modern country-style cabinetry and tiled flooring, the kitchen balances practicality with character. A few steps rise to the elevated dining area where the full architectural impact of the barn is revealed. Soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers and an expansive feature window flood the space with natural light and frame enchanting views across the surrounding greenery, creating an uplifting and highly sociable environment for both everyday living and entertaining.The barn’s versatility continues from the living space to a room, rich in character with exposed stone walls, this flexible space could serve equally well as a bedroom, second reception room, studio or guest accommodation, with direct access leading through to the garden room and out into the surrounding grounds.Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys a wonderfully peaceful outlook, with doors opening onto a Juliet balcony perfectly positioned to take in the far-reaching countryside views — a beautiful scene to wake up to each morning. A second bedroom, complete with cabin bed and Velux window, adds further charm and practicality, while a well-appointed family bathroom serves the first-floor accommodation.Throughout the barn, there is a wonderful interplay between old and new; exposed beams and stonework sit comfortably alongside clean contemporary finishes, creating a home with immense personality, warmth and flexibility.STEP OUTSIDEApproached from the road through electric gates, a long private driveway passes the grounds on either side, past generous parking areas—including an additional parking space positioned towards the top of the driveway—with the paddock to one side and gardens to the other, creating an immediate sense of arrival and rural seclusion.The farm house itself enjoys a quintessentially charming setting, fronted by a neat lawn enclosed by traditional stone walling and complemented by a delightful seating area perfectly positioned to enjoy the tranquillity of the surroundings. An external stone staircase rises to the former hayloft, currently providing excellent storage space, yet also offering intriguing potential to become integral to the cottage accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.Connecting the farm house and barn is a shared courtyard. Equally suited as a sociable communal area or capable of being adapted to provide greater separation and privacy between the two residences if desired, this central courtyard creates a wonderful flow between the buildings. Additional tucked-away seating areas are dotted throughout the grounds, each thoughtfully positioned to capture the sunshine and take in the beautiful countryside views at different times of day.The gardens continue to unfold around the barn conversion, where a lawn extends to the side and rear, creating an idyllic outdoor setting for entertaining, family gatherings or quiet relaxation. A raised decked terrace provides an elevated vantage point across the surrounding landscape, perfectly placed for evening drinks, outdoor dining or simply appreciating the peaceful rural outlook.Beyond lies the garden studio, complete with power, lighting and a shower room, offering exceptional versatility. Whether utilised as guest accommodation, a creative studio, home office, wellness space or holiday let potential, it provides yet another layer of flexibility to this already highly adaptable property.The acreage extends predominantly to the eastern side of the property, creating a wonderfully natural environment ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, families, smallholding aspirations or simply those seeking space and freedom. A blend of meadow and open grassland has been thoughtfully maintained with pathways cut through the land for gentle walks and exploration, while a small area of woodland further enhances the sense of privacy and connection to nature. From many points within the grounds, there are far-reaching countryside views that reinforce the feeling of being immersed in the South Hams landscape.For buyers seeking even greater acreage or lifestyle potential, the adjoining land is understood to be owned by a local individual who may be open to discussions regarding the sale of additional land, presenting an exciting opportunity to expand the holding further if desired.USEFUL INFORMATION:THE FARM HOUSE Gas central heating Private water Private drainage Freehold Council Tax: EPC:THE BARN Electric heating Private water Private drainage Freehold Council Tax: EPC:

House with pool and garden Bratton Clovelly (United Kingdom)
IntroductionSet in the unspoilt countryside on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, The Manor is an exceptional private estate offering approximately 28 acres of gardens, meadows, and woodland. At its heart stands a distinguished Georgian residence dating from 1800, accompanied by four self-contained cottages, a suite of outbuildings, extensive leisure facilities including a pool, relaxation room and tennis court, and a historic walled garden with outstanding potential. Beautifully secluded yet highly accessible, The Manor presents an exciting opportunity for those seeking a luxurious rural lifestyle, a group accommodation business, or a flexible, multi-generational estate. HistoryThe Manor at Bratton Clovelly has a long and storied past. The Georgian/Regency house was built in 1800 for William Wimpey, then Lord of the Manor, on the site of a former medieval farmhouse and schoolroom—traces of which remain integrated into the present building. Designed with both form and function in mind, the south façade benefits from natural light and warmth, while the west-facing elevation aligns neatly with the village church (or perhaps more conveniently, the local pub). Following the First World War, the estate was broken up and sold off in separate lots. The Manor House itself fetched just £1,400 at auction in Okehampton, with other holdings including cottages and the post office also sold. In more recent times, the property was owned by Captain James Hewitt, who began transforming the estate into an equestrian centre. He added a sand school, installed a stone horse jump in front of the house, converted attic rooms into extra bedrooms, and excavated the lake, which he stocked with fish. While he obtained planning consent to convert the outbuildings into cottages, the work was never started. The estate was later acquired by organic farming entrepreneur Mark Bury, who used The Manor as the base for his 850-acre farming operation. He began the restoration of the outbuildings, a project that has been thoughtfully completed and expanded by the current owners, who purchased the estate and 30 acres of land in 2013. Today, The Manor stands as a rare and rewarding blend of heritage, architectural integrity, and modern rural living. The ManorCompleted in 1800 and steeped in history, The Manor blends Georgian symmetry with warmth and character. One of its most distinctive features is the original bell tower—once part of the old village school. The bell itself, cast in Whitehall by the same foundry that made Big Ben, remains fully functional and can still be rung from the kitchen. Arranged over three floors and extending to more than 8,200 sq ft, the accommodation is generous and elegant throughout. The principal reception rooms include a sitting room, drawing room, dining room, study, and garden room—many with open fireplaces, bay windows, and views across the grounds. A large kitchen, breakfast room, boot room, and utility spaces support family life, while upstairs are eight bedrooms and multiple bathrooms, including several en suites. The layout and proportions offer excellent flexibility for those wanting to entertain, work from home, or accommodate extended family. A substantial cellar provides further storage. The CottagesThe four converted cottages are arranged around a private courtyard and currently sleep up to 18 guests. Each has been thoughtfully renovated and offers stylish, self-contained living—perfect for a group booking retreat, overflow accommodation, or income-generating enterprise. Eversfield Coach House A spacious three-bedroom, three-bathroom cottage with a large kitchen/dining room, sitting room with log burner, ground-floor WC, and private enclosed garden with hot tub. Approx. 1,997 sq.ft. Eversfield Apartment Linked to the Coach House but independently accessed, this adaptable unit offers one or two bedrooms, a living space, an en suite, and an additional WC—ideal for staff or flexible guest use.

OutbuildingsIn addition to the main accommodation, The Manor includes an extensive range of traditional and functional outbuildings, offering scope for storage, creative use, or further development (subject to planning). Eversfield Barn is a great additional asset on the estate, offering a mix of practical and hospitality-focused spaces. On the ground floor, it features a fully equipped commercial kitchen and a private dining room—ideal for intimate entertaining or group retreats. The dining room opens onto a generous terrace, allowing guests to enjoy meals either indoors or outside. It’s a flexible space, perfectly suited to being used by a private chef for tailored, relaxed dining experiences. Above the barn is a self-contained space currently used as the estate office, it has a shower room, and kitchenette with its own private terrace—ideal for estate staff, visiting chefs, or overflow accommodation (subject to necessary permissions). Other additional outbuildings include: A large former barn with internal divisions Multiple stone stores and general-purpose utility buildings Pellet store and boiler room Pool house with covered seating area, sauna, and changing room Gardens & GroundsThe Manor is surrounded by approximately 28 acres of beautifully varied grounds, offering total privacy and a remarkable sense of tranquillity. The gardens immediately surrounding the house are thoughtfully landscaped, with shaped lawns, well-established planting, and a number of terraces and seating areas designed to make the most of the views and peaceful setting. Beyond the formal gardens lie wildflower meadows, gently sloping pasture, and areas of mature woodland—carpeted with bluebells in spring and threaded by a meandering stream.

The grounds also include a full-size tennis court and, notably, a large historic walled garden—currently unused but offering exciting potential. Whether restored as a productive kitchen garden, transformed into a landscaped entertaining space, or developed for weddings and events (subject to permissions), it represents a rare and valuable opportunity. Importantly, there are no public footpaths crossing the land, ensuring complete seclusion and uninterrupted enjoyment of this extraordinary setting. LocationThe Manor enjoys a peaceful and private position on the edge of Bratton Clovelly, a charming West Devon village steeped in history and community spirit. The village itself offers a traditional pub, a 13th-century church, and an active village hall, while the surrounding landscape is some of the most beautiful in the South West—rolling hills, ancient hedgerows, and far-reaching views in every direction. Despite the sense of seclusion, the property is remarkably well connected. The nearby town of Okehampton (around 8 miles) provides a full range of everyday amenities including supermarkets, cafés, independent shops, medical services, and schooling. It also benefits from a recently reinstated railway link offering direct trains to Exeter in under 40 minutes, and onward connections to London Paddington and beyond. To the east lies Dartmoor National Park—an iconic expanse of granite tors, wooded valleys, and wild moorland, perfect for walking, horse riding, wild swimming, or simply switching off in nature. The north Devon and north Cornwall coasts are both within easy reach, offering dramatic cliffs, sandy beaches, and excellent surfing. Exeter, around 30 miles to the east, serves as the region’s commercial and cultural hub, with extensive shopping, respected schools, sporting facilities, and an international airport offering flights within the UK and to selected European destinations. With the A30 just a short drive away, The Manor offers the best of both worlds: an idyllic rural lifestyle with easy access to travel, coast, and countryside.

House with garden and terrace Torquay (United Kingdom)
INTRODUCTIONMeadfoot House is an elegant and beautifully refurbished period home, positioned moments from the sea and offered to the market chain free, ready for immediate occupation. Extensively and thoughtfully refurbished throughout, the property combines impressive architectural detail with the reassurance of significant modern upgrades, including rewiring, replumbing, new dual-zone central heating, new alarm system, new flooring throughout, refurbished sash windows and new loft insulation, all fully certified and meeting the latest building standards. The result is a home of considerable style, comfort and practicality, where period elegance and contemporary living sit beautifully side by side. From the moment you step inside, there is a wonderful sense of arrival. High ceilings, ornate detailing, feature glazing and beautifully preserved character immediately set the tone, while the interiors have been carefully re-planned and finished with an exceptional eye for design. The property may also be available with contents by separate negotiation, offering the possibility of a highly convenient turnkey purchase. Set just a short walk from Meadfoot Beach, within easy reach of Wellswood village and the restaurants around Torquay’s marina, this is a striking coastal residence that offers both lifestyle and convenience in one of Torquay’s most desirable settings.SELLERS INSIGHT“There’s always something special about coming home to Meadfoot. From the top of Meadfoot Sea Road, with the fresh sea air and the beautiful bay slowly revealing itself, it feels calm, welcoming and almost a world apart, with its own gentle microclimate.Meadfoot House is set back from the road up a driveway, so it’s very private even though it’s a 2-3 minute walk to Meadfoot Beach. Like its setting, it’s a welcoming, generous house, full of big spaces, high ceilings and beautiful detailing. It’s gracious and full of light, with floor to ceiling sash windows on the ground floor. It’s comfortable too: warm in the winter and cool in the summer with the original 800mm thick walls.When we decided to convert the house from a boutique hotel, our aim was to restore the original elegance while creating a house that flows well, especially on the ground floor which lends itself to being the perfect party space. The room configuration works for both couples or large families, and we ensured there would be plenty of storage space too. Great care was taken to preserve the character while bringing the house into the 21st century.Above all, it has always been a happy and tranquil building. Guests loved arriving here when it was a hotel, but it now feels exactly as it was always meant to be: an extraordinary home.The location is equally special. Meadfoot Beach is loved by paddleboarders and swimmers, with a café enjoying wonderful sea views. Beautiful walks are on the doorstep, while Ilsham Green and Wellswood village are a short drive away, offering a pub, grocery store, deli/café, patisserie, florist and more. In the other direction, The Elephant (a superb Michelin starred restaurant) and the best fish restaurant in the bay is around 10 minutes away. It is this combination of privacy, elegance, lifestyle and location that makes Meadfoot so special.”STEP INSIDEThe entrance porch opens into a highly impressive hallway, where the sense of scale is immediately apparent. High ceilings, ornate detailing and an eye-catching feature wall create a memorable first impression, while the subtle Art Deco influence adds a layer of individuality and character. Clever design is evident from the outset, with a concealed door leading to a substantial cloakroom, as well as a further hidden door opening into a large coat and boot room. The staircase rises elegantly to the first floor, reinforcing the grandeur and period charm that continues throughout the home. The drawing room is a beautiful and atmospheric space, rich in character and architectural detail. Decorative ceiling roses, panelled walls, dado rails and a feature fireplace all speak to the age and quality of the property, while floor-to-ceiling glazing, sash windows and original wooden shutters allow natural light to pour into the room. It is a space that feels both refined and inviting, equally suited to quiet evenings and more formal entertaining. The dining room is another exceptional reception space, designed for gathering and entertaining. Further ceiling detailing is complemented by a contemporary pendant light, bringing a stylish modern contrast to the period setting. A floor-to-ceiling bay window with sash windows and wooden shutters overlooks the front garden, creating a wonderful sense of space, light and elegance. The kitchen has been designed with taste and restraint, carefully balancing modern convenience with a style that remains entirely in keeping with the home. There is a brand new large fridge freezer, integrated microwave, large range-style oven with extractor and integrated dishwasher, along with excellent storage through a combination of cupboards and drawers. A breakfast bar provides seating for two, making this a sociable and practical everyday space. French doors open directly from the kitchen to the courtyard, creating an effortless connection between the inside and outside. Double doors also lead through to the family room, allowing the principal reception spaces to flow beautifully together. The family room leads onto outside space at both ends. The library section opens onto the courtyard whilst French doors at the other end of the room open onto the patio and front garden. This is a lovely informal corner of the home, ideal for reading, working, games or simply enjoying a quieter space. Going from the entrance hallway to the back of the house, there is a light, airy study with a pleasant tree-lined outlook over the driveway. Adjacent to this is a large plant room housing the boiler and hot water cylinder, reflecting the extensive refurbishment of the property. The home has been rewired, replumbed and fitted with new dual-zone central heating, supporting a level of comfort and efficiency expected of modern living. A generous utility room provides worktops, cupboards and a window overlooking the courtyard. This is a highly useful space as it stands, while also offering potential for further adaptation depending on a buyer’s needs. Next to the utility room, and with access to the courtyard, is a room that is ideal for storage, practical household use or possible future conversion. There is a further storage room right at the end. The first floor is arranged with excellent flexibility and a sense of privacy between the principal bedroom spaces. The principal suite is particularly impressive. Accessed via a lobby, it includes a generous double bedroom with large sash windows overlooking the garden. Steps lead down to a substantial dressing room or nursery, complete with fitted wardrobes and mirrored doors. The arrangement gives this part of the house a lovely private-suite feel, while retaining flexibility for family use. The bathroom serving this suite is sensational. Beautifully decorated and finished to an exacting standard, it features a bay window overlooking the garden with low-level shutters, twin sinks set into a vanity unit, a freestanding bath, brass fittings, a separate shower and a separate WC for privacy. Fully panelled and elegantly styled, it is a bathroom that feels both luxurious and timeless. One of the strengths of this layout is its flexibility. The bathroom is accessed from the lobby rather than directly from the bedroom, meaning it can be used more communally if required. Alternatively, by closing the door to the lobby, the entire area becomes a private principal suite. There are four further generous double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room. Each room is beautifully presented and continues the home’s sense of scale and quality. Another outstanding bathroom serves this part of the house, with twin sinks, panelled walls, a freestanding bath with freestanding tap, WC and double shower. There is also a separate cloakroom. A rear staircase provides additional practicality, connecting this part of the first floor back down to the study, utility room and hallway, enhancing the sense of flow and functionality within the home. Throughout, the decoration is exceptional. Every room has been carefully considered, with an elegant palette, beautiful finishes and a cohesive sense of style. With new flooring throughout, refurbished sash windows and new loft insulation, the home has been upgraded with both appearance and performance in mind. The contents may be available by separate negotiation, creating the opportunity for a buyer to acquire a beautifully furnished home ready for immediate occupation.STEP OUTSIDEThe outside space has been arranged to provide a balance of parking, garden, privacy and sunny seating areas. To the front, there is ample parking for several vehicles, with space for approximately six cars, together with an EV charger and a useful bike storage area. There is also a separate entrance, accessed from the driveway, with steps to a spacious lower ground floor room that could convert into a cinema room, gym, games room or used for storage. The front garden includes a patio area adjacent to the family room, creating a lovely setting from which to enjoy the outlook over the garden and the architecture of the house itself. Catching the sun up to midday and sometimes late afternoon, it is an ideal space for an outdoor table and chairs, to enjoy an alfresco breakfast, lunch or quiet drink at the end of the day. The remainder of the garden is mainly laid to lawn, with established planting, shrubs and attractive borders adding colour and structure. Steps lead down through the garden to a further landscaped area laid to stone, beautifully screened from the road by mature planting, which catches the afternoon sun. A pathway from the patio area at the front leads back around to the rear courtyard, linking the garden naturally with the kitchen, utility and rear areas of the house. The courtyard provides a private and sunny aspect, offering another attractive outside space for informal seating, morning coffee or relaxed entertaining. The combination of formal garden, raised terrace, courtyard, ample parking, EV charging and practical storage gives the home a highly usable and versatile exterior.USEFUL INFORMATIONTenure: Freehold Local Authority: Torbay District Council Council Tax: H EPC Rating: C Services: Mains gas, water, drainage and electric

The Inside The house opens into an impressive reception hall with a sweeping staircase rising to a galleried landing, immediately giving a sense of the scale and character found throughout. The main reception rooms are generous and elegant, with high ceilings, large windows and plenty of natural light. The drawing room is a standout space, with twin bay windows framing the view across the bay and doors linking through to the dining room. A conservatory opens onto the terrace and helps connect the house beautifully with the gardens. The kitchen/breakfast room sits at the heart of the ground floor and offers clear opportunity for a new owner to enhance and shape the space around modern family life. Alongside this are further everyday living areas including a lounge, bar area and cloakroom, giving the house a flexible layout that works equally well for family living and entertaining. The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the upper floors. On the first floor, three of the double bedrooms enjoy lovely sea views, while two further double bedrooms, en suites and additional bathrooms provide excellent family and guest accommodation. On the second floor there is a sixth bedroom and another bathroom, giving further flexibility depending on how the space is needed. In addition, the upper part of the tower has never been converted, offering exciting potential for a truly special viewing room or retreat, designed to make the very most of the exceptional outlook. The lower ground floor adds another layer of versatility and is a major part of the appeal here. With a billiard room, office, laundry, store rooms, workshop, wine cellar and additional cellar space, it offers huge scope for hobbies, working from home, wellness space, games room or further ancillary accommodation. There is also potential, subject to any required consents, to create a self-contained flat. The Outside Outside, Belton Lodge is complemented by established gardens and generous terraces that make the most of its sunny southerly aspect and far-reaching views across Tor Bay. A broad paved terrace wraps around the front and side of the house, creating a superb space for sitting, dining and entertaining, all with the bay as a beautiful backdrop. Beneath the terrace is a useful garden room with power and water connected, adding further practical flexibility. The gardens are a lovely feature of the property, combining areas of level lawn with mature trees, well-stocked borders, ornamental ponds, fruit trees, a vegetable garden and greenhouse. Altogether, the outside space feels private, established and full of potential for a new owner to enjoy and enhance over time. The approach to the house is particularly impressive, with a pillared entrance opening onto a sweeping driveway that leads to a generous parking and turning area in front of the twin garages. In addition, a pathway with steps leads down through the garden to Middle Lincombe Road, where there is a pedestrian gate providing useful secondary access. Location Belton Lodge sits in one of Torquay’s most sought-after residential positions, on the leafy Lincombes hillside above the coastline and close to some of the area’s best-known lifestyle attractions. From here, Meadfoot Beach is nearby for morning swims, paddleboarding and coastal walks, while Wellswood offers a good selection of cafés, restaurants, pubs, independent shops and everyday amenities. Torquay harbour and marina are also within easy reach, bringing a more vibrant waterside feel with restaurants, bars, sailing and waterfront walks all close at hand. For buyers who enjoy eating out, the area is particularly well placed. Torquay harbour is home to The Elephant, Simon Hulstone’s Michelin-starred restaurant, which has retained its star in the 2026 Michelin Guide and remains one of the South West’s standout dining destinations. The sporting and leisure offering is also strong. Torquay Golf Club, one of the area’s best-known courses, is around three miles from the town centre and offers a well-established parkland course with lovely coastal views. The marina and harbour area further add to the appeal, creating a setting that works just as well for boating enthusiasts as it does for those simply wanting to enjoy the atmosphere of the English Riviera.

Torquay railway station provides onward links to London Paddington and beyond, Newton Abbot offers mainline services, and Exeter along with the M5 are within straightforward reach.

Seaside contemporary house with pool and garden Torquay (United Kingdom)
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

House with terrace Torquay (United Kingdom)
INTRODUCTIONThe Headlands is an extraordinary contemporary residence of architectural distinction, occupying a commanding elevated position on one of Torquay’s most prestigious coastal roads. Completed in 2022, this statement home has been designed to embrace its exceptional setting, with panoramic views sweeping across Torbay and a remarkable sense of connection to the sea from almost every angle.Arranged over four beautifully considered levels and extending to over 6,000 sq ft, the accommodation delivers a superb balance of scale, sophistication and effortless modern living. Every element has been crafted with meticulous attention to detail, from the superior specification and intelligent home technology to the seamless flow between the principal living spaces and the series of expansive sea-facing terraces.Designed for both everyday luxury and exceptional entertaining, the home includes six bedrooms, a cinema room with a 144” Lyngdorf theatre system by Steinway, a bar, wine cellar and tasting room, alongside a detached studio and boat store. Lutron lighting, integrated speakers and solar panels further enhance the home’s comfort, efficiency and contemporary appeal.Set within Lincombe Drive, an affluent and highly regarded address with sea views on three sides, The Headlands offers coastal living at its finest. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark home where architectural excellence, luxury lifestyle and one of South Devon’s most desirable marine settings come together in truly spectacular fashion.SELLERS INSIGHT“We came across this plot almost by chance. The house that was here at the time was not at all what we had been looking for — in fact, we very nearly didn’t view it. But as soon as we came up the driveway, we could see the vision. We knew there was an opportunity here to create something truly exceptional.The views were unlike anything we had seen before. They were completely captivating, and we knew straight away that if we let this go, we may never find another setting quite like it. That became the starting point for everything we went on to create.When we rebuilt the house, we had a very clear objective: to make the absolute most of the views. Every decision was centred around the outlook, the light and the way the house would connect with its surroundings. We wanted open-plan living, generous indoor and outdoor spaces, and a home that was substantial enough to entertain properly, but still felt comfortable and enjoyable every day.It really was the opportunity to create our dream home. The cinema room was something we had always wanted, and it has completely changed the way we experience film and television — we use it every day. The wine tasting room was also particularly important to us, especially given my line of work, and it has been wonderful to have a space designed specifically for that purpose.What we love is that the house fulfils every need we could ever have. It is incredibly private, beautifully light and has so many luxury finishes that make day-to-day life feel effortless. The Lutron lighting system, for example, means each room can be set to suit the mood, whether we are entertaining, relaxing, watching a film or enjoying dinner with friends.Although we wanted the house to feel luxurious, we were also very conscious of making it efficient and economical to run. With the solar panels and the EPC B rating, we feel we achieved that balance, creating a substantial home that also works practically.Our lives are now taking us to a different part of the world, otherwise we would never consider leaving. This has been our dream home in every sense — the privacy, the views, the light, the entertaining spaces and the lifestyle it offers are things we know would be almost impossible to recreate”STEP INSIDEFrom the moment you enter The Headlands, the architectural calibre of the home is immediately apparent. The entrance hall is quite spectacular, with floor-to-ceiling glazing, an impressive ceiling height and a striking staircase rising to the first floor, while a further staircase leads down to the lower ground level. Far more than simply a place of arrival, this is a room in its own right — dramatic, light-filled and designed to offer an immediate glimpse of the quality, scale and style that continues throughout the home.The crisp white décor, grey tiled flooring and feature slate wall create a sophisticated contrast, setting the tone for the contemporary interiors. As you move through into the sitting room, the proportions of the house become even more impressive. This is an exceptional principal reception space, with an expansive wall of glazing and a further wall of sliding doors framing panoramic views across the coastline. A feature double-sided fireplace creates both warmth and architectural interest, linking the sitting room effortlessly with the adjoining dining room.The dining area continues the feeling of openness and connection to the sea, with double-aspect bifold doors opening onto the sun terrace, which wraps around the principal living spaces on three sides. This clever design allows the interiors to flow naturally outwards, creating a wonderful sense of inside-outside living and making the most of the home’s elevated coastal setting.From here, the space opens into the kitchen — a beautifully designed, contemporary room fitted with premium NEFF appliances, sleek cabinetry and a striking central island. The island stands prominently at the heart of the room, framed by extensive storage and work surfaces, while breakfast bar seating provides a relaxed and informal place to gather. Further bifold doors open directly onto the expansive terrace and outdoor kitchen, complete with barbecue and pizza oven. With its stone walls, greenery and modern tiled flooring, this is a superb entertaining space, equally suited to relaxed family living or hosting on a grander scale.Throughout the main living spaces, garden, bedroom suites, cinema room and wine tasting room, a state-of-the-art Lutron lighting system provides a range of ambience settings, allowing each space to be tailored to the mood and occasion. Integrated ceiling speakers further enhance the home’s entertaining credentials, extending through the main reception areas, wine tasting room, first floor bedroom suites and terrace.Accessed from the kitchen, terrace and hallway is a fully functional bar — a stylish and practical addition to the entertaining space — with an adjoining cloakroom and server room housing the specialist equipment for the cinema room. The cinema itself has been designed to deliver the ultimate home viewing experience, with two rows of four reclining cinema chairs, a 144” specialist screen, JVC UHD projector and a comprehensive surround sound system via a Lyngdorf theatre system made by Steinway. It is an exceptional private cinema, perfectly in keeping with the luxury and technical sophistication found throughout this remarkable home.LOWER GROUND FLOORThe lower ground floor has been designed with the same attention to detail as the principal living spaces, providing a highly practical yet beautifully finished area of the home. Here, the more functional elements have been cleverly positioned away from the main entertaining spaces, allowing day-to-day household requirements to be managed discreetly without compromising the elegance and flow of the living accommodation above.A large and exceptionally useful laundry room provides excellent working space and storage, while also incorporating a cloakroom and a generous shower area. This is a thoughtful and practical addition, ideal for returning from the beach, boating, walking or simply managing family life with ease.The wine cellar is a particular highlight, having been specifically designed for the storage and presentation of fine wines. More than simply a practical cellar, this is a dedicated wine tasting space, created with a sense of occasion and entirely in keeping with the grandeur and lifestyle offering of the wider home.From here, the accommodation leads through to a boot room, currently arranged as a gym. With ample storage, the boiler and water cylinder discreetly housed within this area, and an external door providing independent access, this lower ground level offers notable flexibility. Subject to any necessary consents, there may be potential to utilise this area as self-contained accommodation, making it well suited to those considering annexe potential, guest use or a more independent arrangement for extended family.Also positioned on this level is a lobby giving access to the integral double garage, further enhancing the convenience and practicality of this impressive coastal residence.FIRST FLOORThe bedroom accommodation continues the home’s clear theme of luxury, scale and considered design. A light-filled landing, with delicate glass balustrades overlooking the impressive entrance hall below, creates a wonderful sense of openness and architectural drama, while leading through to four of the six bedrooms.There are two principal bedroom suites on this level, both beautifully appointed and designed to take full advantage of the home’s elevated position. Each suite includes a dressing room leading through to an elegant en suite bathroom, creating a private and refined retreat. Both also enjoy direct access onto the balcony, allowing the views across the grounds, surrounding landscape and out towards the sea to be appreciated from the moment the day begins.A further bedroom on this floor benefits from its own en suite shower room and is currently arranged as an office, making it a particularly impressive workspace with the added advantage of a private balcony. Another bedroom enjoys views over the garden and has access to the adjacent bathroom, which is a real signature suite in its own right — beautifully finished and entirely in keeping with the quality found throughout the bathrooms on this level.From the landing, a door opens directly to the upper garden patio, where a hot tub is set within decking and complemented by an outdoor shower. It is a cleverly positioned lifestyle space, offering a private place to relax while continuing the home’s strong connection between inside and outside living.A final staircase rises to the upper level, where there are two further double bedrooms, both with their own en suite facilities. This arrangement provides excellent flexibility for family, guests or extended stays, ensuring each bedroom feels private, comfortable and beautifully considered.STEP OUTSIDEThe sense of privacy and arrival at The Headlands is immediate. Electric gates open to reveal a sweeping driveway which ascends towards the house, the property itself discreetly hidden from the road. With each turn, there is a growing sense of intrigue and anticipation, passing the boat store and detached studio before arriving at the main residence, where ample parking awaits.Every element of the outside space has been carefully considered to complement the architecture, maximise the elevated coastal outlook and create a series of distinct areas for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the peaceful setting. Lighting has been thoughtfully positioned throughout the grounds, providing both practicality and atmosphere as day turns to evening.The principal ground floor terrace wraps from the entrance door around the eastern and southern aspects of the house, offering a collection of seating and entertaining areas designed to follow the sun as it moves around the building. Discreet glass balustrades enclose the terrace, preserving safety and definition without interrupting the panoramic views across the surrounding landscape and out towards the sea.On the southern side, the terrace flows onto a further patio. This creates an effortless connection between the main house and the wider amenities of the property, reinforcing the sense that each space has been designed with purpose and ease of use in mind.Steps also rise to the first floor patio, where a sunken hot tub is set within decking, complemented by an area of lawn. This space links beautifully back to the first floor balcony serving the principal bedroom suites, creating a private and luxurious retreat from which to enjoy the surroundings.The established landscaped grounds frame the plot with a range of attractive, low-maintenance shrubs, softening the contemporary lines of the house while allowing the views and architecture to remain the focus. Further steps rise to the highest point of the garden, where a dedicated seating area takes full advantage of the sunny aspect and spectacular elevated views — a fitting vantage point from which to appreciate the scale, privacy and beauty of this exceptional coastal home.USEFUL INFORMATIONTenure - Freehold Local Authority - Torbay District Council Council Tax - H EPC Rating - B Services - Mains gas, water, drainage and electricENERGY EFFICIENCYThis exceptional EPC “B” rated six-bedroom residence has been thoughtfully future-proofed, combining refined contemporary living with impressive energy efficiency.

Rich in atmosphere and history, the property beautifully combines its period origins with generous, versatile accommodation and a wonderfully relaxed coastal setting.The owners advise that Rockhill began life as a farm and that parts of the house may date back to the late sixteenth century, with exposed oak beams thought to resemble timbers used in the nearby Village Inn. The property was later acquired by the Reverend Peregrine Ilbert, who in the 1830s converted the barn element into living accommodation, shaping much of the home as it is enjoyed today. Distinctive details, including the round windows to the principal bedroom, are said to incorporate the wooden wheels of his honeymoon carriage, while further features throughout the house speak to Rockhill’s fascinating and layered past.AccommodationRockhill offers beautifully arranged accommodation extending to six bedrooms, providing a rare combination of character, flexibility and scale.The ground floor is centred around a welcoming sitting room, rich in period charm and ideal for quieter moments, together with an elegant dining room opening out to the garden via patio doors.
