luxury house with sea view for sale Dartmouth, United Kingdom

Introduction Overcrag is a detached property arranged over two floors, covering 2,965 square feet. Although the property is generally in good condition, it would benefit from reconfiguration to maximise its location and align with contemporary coastal home design trends. This is an opportunity to fully embrace the stunning views and exceptional location. Seller’s Story When the chance to purchase Overcrag arose in 2014, we knew it was meant to be our home. Already residing on Rock End, we were aware that few properties offer such a dramatic position with uninterrupted sea views. The building was in its original state, and over the years, we have made enhancements to meet our needs. However, with a house like this, it is the plot that stands out, and a new owner might wish to redesign it according to their own preferences. In our view, the location is unparalleled in Torbay. We relish the outstanding views and the convenience of being just minutes' walk from restaurants, theatres, Torquay Marina, and Meadfoot Beach. The Inside The property’s entrance opens into a welcoming hallway. Bedrooms on either side offer potential for repurposing, such as transforming them into a study or hobby room. Continuing down the hallway, you’ll find an inner hall providing access to two guest bedrooms, each with its own en-suite shower room, as well as an additional shower room. Opposite the entrance hall, double doors open into the kitchen breakfast room. This ‘L’-shaped space extends into the garden room and living room. There is also a door leading to the double garage and storage area. The sun room capitalises on the panoramic bay views, featuring windows that span from side to side and French doors opening to the garden. The spectacular view from here could be further integrated into the current layout. The sun room seamlessly connects to the sitting room, which has a door leading back to the entrance hall. The living room is a spacious area currently used as a home gym, offering magnificent views of the sea. The first floor is dedicated to the main bedroom suite, which makes the most of the views and includes an en-suite bathroom. The Outside At the front of the property, there is a generous parking area with access to the rear on one side. Additionally, there is a large raised flower bed and a double garage. The rear garden is designed over two levels, focusing on the view. The upper tier, accessible directly from the sun room, features a resin surface and a small lawn area. Steps lead down to the lower level, which includes a small greenhouse and a private gate leading onto the South West Coast Path. Location As a UNESCO Global Geopark, Torbay is a paradise for those who love the water and coastal living. With Torquay Marina less than a mile away, this location is perfect for boat enthusiasts or anyone who enjoys a seaside lifestyle. Torquay offers a variety of dining options, including the Michelin-starred ‘The Elephant’ by Simon Hulstone, just a short walk from the property, as well as numerous bars and coffee shops.

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
