PROPERTY SUMMARY Twin gates and a gravel drive lead you to the Old Mill House, an exceptional detached 18th Century residence that sits proudly on its own island. Steeped in history and character, the house is believed to be where John Keats completed The Eve of St. Agnes in 1819. A tranquil river frames the front of the island while an estuary lies to the rear, creating a private, waterside setting with a strong sense of seclusion. A footbridge takes you over to the main house which is arranged over three floors and offers 3910 sq ft of living space and includes four reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, shower room and conservatory which overlooks the swimming pool on the ground floor. On the upper floors are eight bedrooms, four en-suites and four bathrooms.

INTRODUCTION The 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 INSIDE From 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 FLOOR The 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 FLOOR The 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 OUTSIDE The 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 INFORMATION Tenure - Freehold Local Authority - Torbay District Council Council Tax - H EPC Rating - B Services - Mains gas, water, drainage and electric ENERGY EFFICIENCY This exceptional EPC “B” rated six-bedroom residence has been thoughtfully future-proofed, combining refined contemporary living with impressive energy efficiency. A substantial 9.6kW roof-mounted solar array — more than double the capacity of a typical domestic installation — is seamlessly integrated with a premium Enphase IQ 5kW battery storage system, dedicated EV charging point and fully automated smart meter arrangement. Designed to work intelligently with a highly efficient off-peak tariff, currently 7.2p/kWh, the system allows the battery and electric vehicle to be charged overnight at a fraction of standard grid costs, while supporting near-total self-sufficiency during the sunnier months. Any surplus electricity generated by the 9.6kW array is automatically sold back to the grid, transforming the property’s energy setup into an active income stream, currently generating approximately £800 per annum in export payments, in addition to significantly reducing daytime electricity consumption. The premium Enphase architecture is completely modular, providing an exceptionally stable and future-ready foundation which can be expanded with additional battery storage or further vehicle chargers, tailored to the lifestyle needs of any incoming owner. It is a discreet yet highly valuable feature, enhancing not only the comfort and practicality of the home, but also its long-term efficiency and appeal.

There is something immediately compelling about Ragstone House. Approached through the quiet hamlet of Pilsgate, just outside Stamford, it combines the mellow character of a traditional limestone home with the scale, finish and versatility more often associated with a contemporary country house. Behind its handsome stone elevations lies a property that has been comprehensively transformed by the current owners, creating a home that is both deeply practical and undeniably luxurious. Originally formed from four workers' cottages owned by the Burghley Estate, the oldest parts of the house are believed to date back to the mid-1800s. In the 1960s, the cottages were combined into a single dwelling by an architect who wrote for Ideal Home magazine, with the property subsequently featured in the publication following its conversion. Today, that rich architectural evolution remains evident throughout the house, where exposed stone walls, substantial timber beams and traditional proportions sit comfortably alongside crisp contemporary finishes and thoughtfully designed open-plan spaces. For the current owners, Ragstone House stood apart immediately. Its size and proportions, proximity to Stamford and excellent independent schooling, and the opportunity to undertake a full renovation all proved irresistible. They were drawn not simply to the property itself, but to the chance to create a long-term family home tailored entirely to their own tastes and way of life. What followed was an extensive programme of improvement and modernisation that has fundamentally elevated the house while remaining sympathetic to its origins. Conservation approved casement windows were installed in 2019, and in 2021 and 2022 the owners temporarily vacated the property while a comprehensive back-to-brick refurbishment was undertaken. The works included complete rewiring and replumbing, upgraded insulation, replacement joists where required and the installation of a new three-phase electricity supply. At the same time, a substantial triple garage with office and shower room above was constructed, significantly enhancing the flexibility of the property. The result is a house that feels exceptionally cohesive. The interiors have been finished to an incredibly high standard. In the communal spaces, a calm, neutral palette has been used, creating a light and airy atmosphere throughout while allowing the building's original features to take centre stage. In other areas, stronger colours really highlight the various features of the property. Natural timber has been carefully exposed wherever possible, lending warmth and texture to the spaces. Downstairs, elegant flagstone flooring from Stamford Stone runs through much of the ground floor, complemented by oak flooring in the reception room and snug, all benefiting from underfloor heating. Upstairs, the landing features oak parquet flooring, while the bedrooms are finished in soft neutral carpets that contribute to the sense of comfort and understated luxury. At the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space. Beautifully designed for both day-to-day family life and larger-scale entertaining, it balances practicality with striking aesthetics. Dark cabinetry, warm timber surfaces and stone flooring create a sophisticated yet welcoming feel, while the substantial central copper island naturally draws people together. The adjoining dining area is flooded with light from dramatic glazing overlooking the garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out. It is easy to understand why the owners spend much of their time here. They describe the kitchen as the social centre of the house, somewhere friends and family naturally gather, whether for relaxed evenings or larger celebrations. The sense of flow between the kitchen, dining area and garden makes the house particularly well suited to entertaining. Equally inviting is the reception room, where exposed stonework, deeply textured timber beams and a substantial fireplace create a wonderfully atmospheric space. The owners particularly enjoy relaxing here beside the log burner during the colder months, and despite the scale of the property, there is a genuine sense of warmth and comfort throughout. Additional flexible rooms provide options for a snug, study, playroom or home working space, allowing the house to adapt easily to changing family needs. Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms provide generous and versatile accommodation. The principal suite is especially impressive, while the bathrooms throughout the house have been finished to an exceptional standard, combining high-quality fittings with elegant, timeless styling. Every element feels carefully considered, continuing the restrained and cohesive design language seen across the property. Externally, Ragstone House is equally impressive. A large paved forecourt provides extensive parking and leads to the triple garage block, above which sits a substantial open-plan room complete with shower facilities. Whether used as a gym, studio, office, showroom or additional workspace, it offers significant flexibility for modern living. The gardens have been designed to provide both privacy and enjoyment. Mature trees and established planting create a wonderfully secluded setting, while the swimming pool and hot tub (available by separate negotiation) transform the property during the summer months. The owners describe the atmosphere as being akin to a holiday at home, particularly on warm sunny days when friends and family gather around the pool and terrace for parties and long evenings outdoors. What makes Ragstone House particularly special is its versatility. Despite its generous proportions, it remains an extremely comfortable and liveable family home, with a variety of spaces that allow both togetherness and privacy. Whether hosting large social occasions, relaxing quietly by the fire or enjoying the garden in summer, the house adapts effortlessly to every season and occasion. The location has also played a significant role in the owners' enjoyment of the property. Pilsgate offers an appealing balance between peaceful rural living and excellent accessibility. Stamford is only a short distance away, making evenings out and day-to-day amenities easily accessible, while the surrounding countryside provides wonderful walking opportunities. The owners particularly valued the proximity to schools. Their daughter was able to cycle safely into Stamford using the footpath network, giving her a sense of independence, while school transport for Oakham School conveniently stops just outside the house. The nearby Millstone Inn in Barnack is within walking distance and has become a favourite local destination, while sporting facilities including tennis clubs at Barnack and Ketton add further appeal to the area. After eight years at Ragstone House, the owners speak about the property with enormous affection. They describe having poured their hearts into the house, creating a home that reflects both their personalities and tastes. It is clear that every improvement has been made with care, consideration and a genuine appreciation for the building itself. Ragstone House is therefore far more than simply a beautifully renovated period property. It is a home where historic character and modern living have been brought together with exceptional success, creating a sophisticated yet welcoming country residence in one of the area's most desirable settings.   Disclaimer: These property details, whilst believed to be accurate, are set out as a general outline only for guidance and do not constitute any part of an offer or contract.

Some homes have presence because of their scale, others because of their setting. Becket House possesses both. Positioned in one of the most distinctive locations within the conservation village of Greatford, the house sits alongside Greatford Hall and the parish church of St Thomas a Becket, approached over an attractive late eighteenth century stone bridge that immediately sets the tone for arrival. Hidden from the main road and surrounded by mature gardens extending to just over half an acre, it occupies a setting that feels unusually private and quietly special. For the current owners, however, it was not simply the location that first caught their attention. Having originally been searching for an older property, they were drawn to the fact that although Becket House was built in 1986, it carried all the visual character of a much earlier house. Constructed by a builder for his own occupation using reclaimed stone from an old barn, the property immediately offered the appeal of traditional architecture combined with the advantages of more modern construction and practical family living. Its origins are closely linked with neighbouring Greatford Hall. The house was created within what had once been the Hall's vegetable gardens and the historic wall that still encloses the rear garden forms part of the original boundary to the estate. Today, those connections remain part of the property's character, giving Becket House a sense of belonging within its surroundings rather than feeling simply placed beside them. The approach is memorable. Crossing the bridge and passing the church and Greatford Hall creates an arrival that feels both atmospheric and unexpectedly secluded. The driveway sweeps gently around the house, opening into a substantial parking area and giving access to the garages. Mature planting, lawns and carefully arranged borders frame the front garden, while the church beyond provides a picturesque backdrop. Internally, Becket House extends to over 3,400 square feet and offers accommodation that feels both substantial and adaptable. Throughout the house there is a consistent sense of light and flow, something the owners have particularly enjoyed during their time here. Large windows and multiple garden-facing doors ensure that many of the principal rooms enjoy attractive views and a strong connection with the outside. The entrance hall forms a welcoming central point from which much of the ground floor accommodation unfolds. Double doors lead directly into the family kitchen and dining space while also connecting to the principal reception rooms and cloakroom facilities. The kitchen sits firmly at the heart of the home and is arranged as an impressive open plan family space. Generously proportioned and thoughtfully designed, it incorporates extensive cabinetry and a large central island beneath stone work surfaces, creating a practical arrangement for everyday life as well as entertaining. The owners comment that the house works exceptionally well for gatherings and celebrations, particularly during Christmas when the layout allows guests to move naturally between spaces. The open arrangement downstairs has hosted numerous parties over the years and the relationship between the house and garden becomes particularly apparent during the warmer months. French doors open directly from the dining and living areas onto the south facing gardens beyond. In fact, the owners note that three separate sets of doors along the rear elevation all frame views of the gardens and allow the outside to become part of day-to-day life. Beyond the principal kitchen space sits the striking garden room. With its vaulted glazed atrium ceiling and generous proportions, it provides an impressive additional reception space with a character entirely of its own. Filled with natural light and enjoying direct access to the garden and driveway, it creates a room that can function equally well as a quieter retreat or as part of larger entertaining occasions. Elsewhere, the house provides a selection of further reception areas suited to both family life and more formal occasions. The principal sitting room enjoys a dual aspect arrangement that allows light to move through the room throughout the day. French doors open directly onto the gardens, while a wood burning stove set within a stone fireplace creates a more intimate focal point during colder months. Alongside sits a substantial study. Beautifully proportioned and overlooking the gardens, it offers obvious practical use as a home office while retaining flexibility for a range of future uses depending on a purchaser's requirements. The current owners worked with Hunters Interiors in shaping much of the decorative scheme throughout the house. Their approach has been to create interiors that feel contemporary yet comfortable and welcoming. The result is a home that balances scale with warmth, avoiding formality despite its generous proportions. The first floor accommodation continues the sense of space established downstairs. Four double bedrooms are arranged around a large central landing, including the principal and guest bedrooms which both benefit from fitted wardrobes and en suite shower rooms. A modern family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and includes a separate shower. A particularly versatile feature of the house lies beyond the main bedroom arrangement. Rising from the garden room, a separate staircase leads to bedroom five, complete with its own en suite shower room. Positioned independently from the principal first floor accommodation, it offers flexibility for guests, older children or multi-generational arrangements. Alongside the main house sits The Barn, a detached ancillary cottage arranged over two floors. Separate from the principal accommodation and with its own parking and garden area, The Barn is currently let and introduces opportunities for a range of future uses, subject to any necessary requirements. The accommodation includes a kitchen and sitting room at ground floor level with two bedrooms and a bathroom above. Well-proportioned throughout, it is a valuable addition to the overall property. Outside, the gardens have received considerable attention during the current ownership, with extensive investment in the landscape design, reshaping and development of the gardens to create a stronger sense of structure and year-round interest. Particular attention was given to planting and borders, including the creation of a substantial herbaceous border running alongside the original boundary wall. This was designed specifically to provide colour and interest throughout the seasons and forms one of the defining features of the gardens today. The rear gardens are especially private and enjoy a south facing orientation. Expansive lawns combine with mature planting, pathways and seating areas to create a sequence of spaces rather than a single open area. Framed by established trees, walls and planting, the gardens feel sheltered and peaceful while still retaining a sense of openness. The owners describe the property as ideal for entertaining but equally suited to quieter, day-to-day enjoyment. It is not only the house itself they will miss, but also the wider village community. Greatford has long been known for its strong sense of community and village spirit. The village hall forms the centre of many local activities and events throughout the year, including regular gatherings and summer celebrations. According to the owners there is a genuine sense of people looking after one another and stepping forward when help is needed. Combined with the convenience of Stamford, Bourne and Peterborough nearby, together with excellent schooling and transport connections, Becket House offers an unusual combination of privacy, practicality and character. Some houses offer attractive accommodation. Others offer memorable settings. Becket House manages to combine both in a way that feels increasingly difficult to find.   Disclaimer: These property details, whilst believed to be accurate, are set out as a general outline only for guidance and do not constitute any part of an offer or contract.

Seller's Insight We were initially drawn to The Grange by its sweeping driveway and quintessential “chocolate box” charm, and it has been a truly special place to call home over the past 11 years. From the moment we first drove up the driveway, we knew it was somewhere that offered something quite unique, and that feeling never left us. The house has provided us with a wonderful sense of space, peace and comfort, and over the years we have enjoyed enhancing it throughout, including the addition of a riverside fishing cabin, carports, a children’s play area, and a games room and bar which has been at the heart of many happy gatherings. Some of our most treasured memories have been simple yet special - family Christmases, lively garden parties and summer barbecues with friends and family. We have loved the character and quirks of the property, as well as the tranquility of the surrounding area and the warmth of the local community. With beautiful countryside walks right on the doorstep, especially enjoyed with our dog, it has offered a lifestyle we have cherished deeply.
