INTRODUCTION Meadfoot House is an elegant and beautifully refurbished period home, equally ideal for a growing family or as a virtually maintenance free holiday home of distinction, positioned moments from the sea. It is a highly individual and charismatic residence that gives a wonderful sense of arrival the moment you step inside. 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 contents are available by separate negotiation, offering a highly convenient turnkey purchase if required). Extensively and thoughtfully renovated throughout, the property combines impressive architectural detail with the reassurance of significant modern upgrades, including rewiring, replumbing, new dual-zone central heating, state of the art fire alarm system, new flooring throughout, refurbished sash windows and new loft insulation. All work is fully certified and meets the latest building standards. The adjoining property sits discreetly behind and is accessed from a different road, giving Meadfoot House the privacy and presence of an individual residence. Just a 2-3 minute stroll 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 refurbish the house, 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, and now it 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 INSIDE The 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 OUTSIDE The 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.

Backing onto glorious countryside next to the High Weald National Landscape (formerly an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) stands this beautifully updated four-bedroom chalet bungalow. It is surrounded by 0.68 acres of ground and includes a heating swimming pool. The property is approached along a spacious drive providing plenty of off-road parking and bordered by a delightful front garden with a lawn, a rose bed and mature trees. The front door opens into a useful lobby and leads to the hallway with oak wood flooring that flows through to the impressive sitting room. This features a charming brick surround log burning stove that provides additional warmth on cold winter days, a very large multi-pane bay window with views over the front garden and it is open plan to a fitted study area with bespoke built in shelving and storage facilities, a separate multi-pane bay window and a staircase to the first floor. However, it is the kitchen/breakfast room that is the ‘heart of the household’. It was redesigned about three years and includes attractive units with high-end appliances such as a five-ring gas hob and extractor, a built-in double oven and microwave as well as an integrated dishwasher and full-height larder fridge while a freezer is in the adjacent utility. In the breakfast area there are patio doors opening out onto the rear terrace, additional storage cabinets and shelving as well as a boiler cupboard. There is a relaxing family room/snug with a very wide archway to the dual aspect dining room that has a door to the terrace and is ideal for more formal entertaining or family celebrations.

Outside this property provides something to enjoy wherever you look. There is a spacious terrace for barbecues and outdoor entertaining that continues through an arched pergola and around the heating swimming pool with its attractive pool house. Vast swathes of lawn are ideal for a game of cricket or football and are bordered by specimen trees and plenty of shrubs that provide a colourful display at varying times of the year. You will also find a charming summerhouse with a patio/bistro area, a large vegetable and herb garden, an orchard, fruit cages, a chicken run and bee hives. While solar panels on the roof provide economic water heating, separate PV panels provide electricity and cover the cost of running the swimming pool in the summer. What the owners say: We bought this property some 19 years ago and it has been delightful. We have loved creating the garden and not only enjoying the swimming pool but also developing the ‘good life’ with our own fruit, chickens and bees. We have also taken great delight in updating the house to be the lovely home you see today. We like the space, the views and the countryside feel yet it is only eight minutes’ walk to the centre of Horsmonden This charming village is surrounded by farmland, orchards and vineyards.

Coming down the tree lined drive studded with primroses in the spring, one has no inkling as to what a discovery awaits around the corner. First are the cottages and barns and then suddenly, a picture postcard image opens up, as this Grade II listed Devon long house comes into view with its eyebrow thatching and cream painted cob elevations. At the front there is plenty of gravel parking and before entering through the fine oak front door, turn around and just take in the surrounds - it is quite special. Coming in through the front doorway, the dining hall really sets the tone for the old part of the house, with its impressive stone fireplace with inset log burner, original bread oven, stone paved flooring and exposed beams with decorative inserts. A honey oak church style door leads into a fine drawing room with its wonderful oak plank flooring, impressive inglenook fireplace with wood burner and a strategically placed window seat overlooking the front. Leading on from here is the dining room with a slate paved floor and a door opening into a cellar room, ideal for wine storage. Over more recent times, the property has been cleverly extended with an amazing contemporary build incorporating honeyed oak plank flooring and floor to ceiling glass in an oak frame gable, looking out onto the landscaped gardens beyond. This ‘L’ shaped room with the kitchen to one end allows for zoned living areas, as here, with sofas and chair in the gable end, optimising the view and natural light, plus an eating area with ample room for a table and chairs. In addition to the underfloor heating, there is a modern log effect gas fire set in a fine stone fireplace, linking the two areas together. The Chalon kitchen with Miele and Franke appliances offers a plethora of polished granite work surfaces with storage and wall units and a large central island with solid maple top. Sitting along one wall is an impressive range of cooking ware that would satisfy most keen cooks who enjoy entertaining, with a 4 oven Aga and warming plate, and an Aga range cooker with 5 gas rings and 3 electric ovens. The large central island unit with lighting, power points and pan hooks above doubles up as a social bistro counter as well as food prep station. Beyond the kitchen is a conservatory/ garden room which overlooks the substantial terrace outside, down to the river below. On the opposite end of the kitchen is a utility room with an extensive range of cupboards and appliance space, with a door leading out to yet another terrace. It is very unusual to see an extension like this blending with such a period property, but it works ever so well. Staircases are found either end of the older part of the house. Taking the one from the drawing room, a very useful cloakroom is found, before taking the stairs to the first floor. The first bedroom on this side is a wonderful room with plenty of honeyed oak, exposed beams and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in electric shower and separate bath. This room has a double aspect, enjoying views to the south and east. Off the small landing, paddle steps lead to a boarded attic space with light, power and heating. A door also opens into the main bedroom which has a wonderful, planked flooring, high ceiling with an incredible grapevine frieze and plenty of room for free standing furniture. A few steps lead down into a stylish ensuite. From here, the main landing leads to a second set of paddle steps up to a further carpeted attic room, and further accommodation. There is a contemporary shower room and two further bedrooms overlooking the front, one of which is understood to have been consecrated as a small chapel by the Bishop of Wells in 1710 as outlined in the records of the Church of Exbourne. Before heading down the second set of stairs, you come to the galleried library/ music room and study formed from the extension. It is an extraordinary space, full of light with views over the gardens and down to the river. In former years this was all used as a main bedroom with ensuite, but this works very well for our current client as a quiet, reflective space, yet still connected to the family room downstairs via the gallery. DAIRY BARN This former dairy provides for open plan living downstairs, with wood flooring, a modern log burner at the raised sitting room end and at the other end a well appointed kitchen with bistro bar makes a sociable casual entertaining area. A wrought iron spiral staircase leads to a galleried landing with bedrooms at either end. One is a good double with a modern ensuite shower room. The other is significantly larger, currently set up with both bunks and a double bed and has its own ensuite bathroom. There is parking outside and the adjacent former stables provide storage. DANS BARN For someone who loves the use of wood and exposed beams and peg frames and open plan living, this serves it up in bucketfuls. Downstairs there is a modern shower room, freestanding kitchen, space for a table and chairs and space for sofas and chairs to relax and admire the outside, but also to admire the magnificent work that has gone into creating this building. The first floor is mezzanine living, again open plan with two sleeping areas bisected by the stairs and gallery. There is parking outside, as well as decking overlooking the orchards to the woodland beyond. COB BARN This sits beside the Dairy Barn and has cart doors on either side, wonderful timber trusses and further external storage. A more modern agricultural barn offers tremendous scope for a number of uses, previously having loose boxes. Doors are found at either end and power and light are connected. A manège sits adjacent to the barn. It is currently used as a children’s play area. Opposite, a small track leads to 4 acres of level paddocks, once used for grazing horses and currently for grazing sheep. FISHING Beer Farm owns the double bank fishing rights on the River Okement, as far as Monkokehampton Weir. It contains a series of pools, attracting salmon, sea trout and wild brown trout. GARDENS and GROUNDS Wandering through these is almost like being in your own private parklands with large swathes of lawn, mature shrubs, plants, trees, hedgerows, rockery, pond, pasture and orchard, all with the sound of the River Okement running along one side. Double bank fishing rights run for about 500 yards down to Monkokehampton Weir. Everywhere you look, there is a vista to enjoy. The immense terrace that runs around two sides of the house allows for large parties and al fresco entertaining in the warmer months. A slope leads up to the kitchen gardens with over a dozen raised beds, a greenhouse with water, electricity and lighting, a large fruit cage, a 50 ft polytunnel and garden sheds. So for someone looking to grow and eat their own produce and enjoy the good life that growing your own food can provide, this will take a lot of beating. A magnificent 100 year old olive tree with twisted and gnarled trunk leads to a curving 20m long wisteria arbour and strategically at the end is a bench to just sit and listen to nature and the sounds of tumbling water. Between the drive and the river is a productive orchard with beehives. The overall private and natural setting of this particular home cannot be over-emphasised. Any owner will feel privileged to own this little part of Devonian tranquillity. SERVICES Mains water, electricity, oil fired heating to the main house and to Dairy Barn. Electric heating to Dans Barn. Drainage to a modern treatment plant. LPG for gas hob and fires. Agents note. There is an existing historical indemnity insurance in perpetuity to cover the change of use of the barns from agricultural to residential. The modern agricultural barn has a traditional asbestos cement roofing which is not uncommon for this type of building.

A beautiful 1920s Arts and Crafts family home in a fabulous location, a gentle stroll from the centre of Pangbourne. Surrounded by private gardens and grounds of 1.25 acres, with 5 bedrooms, a hard tennis court and a heated indoor swimming pool complex. And it’s unlisted! Scythe House is an exceptional family home, built in the 1920s in the late Arts and Crafts manner, that brims with original character and charm. Today it’s surrounded by beautifully planted gardens of 1.25 acres, with a hard tennis court and a heated indoor swimming pool, all of which are screened by high, mature hedges and trees. The house enjoys a southerly aspect with views across to the Sulham Hills. A near-perfect and original example of late Arts and Crafts design, Scythe House was designed by the respected architect Thomas Rayson. Constructed in 1926 it’s a beautiful example of a simpler, more organic aesthetic combined with modern building innovations, such as cavity walls – which are what make it so well insulated today. The house stays wonderfully cool in summer and warm in winter. From Green Lane, elegant iron gates lead you down a long curving drive, approximately 100 meters long – the house isn’t visible from the road. It’s worth noting this is one of the few remaining large plots in this highly sought-after area. On arrival at the house, the driveway opens to provide ample parking for numerous cars, in addition to the parking provided by the two double garages. The barley-twist brick pillars of the porch welcome you, in true Arts and Crafts style, to this exceptional home. Inside, you have five bedrooms, six bathrooms, four reception rooms, a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, a butler’s pantry and a swimming pool complex with gym space.
