Built two years ago by the current owners to a bespoke design by the award-winning A/C Architects of Dunfermline, renowned for their low energy, eco and thermally-efficient homes, Woods House is a contemporary family home offering spacious accommodation designed to maximise the stunning views over the Teign Estuary and rolling countryside beyond. Constructed to exceed passive house standards but not designated as such due to its gas boiler, the property offers an ideal family and entertaining space with all the amenities of modern living and eco-friendly features including triple glazing, automated energy efficient lighting, a mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system, rainwater harvesting, a photovoltaic system with intelligent ibar and full Smart home alarm and mist fire protection systems.

The welcoming double-height reception hall is flooded with natural light from a large sky lantern and features a glass-sided Stannah passenger lift with roof light rising to the first floor. There is an extensive 32 ft. open plan kitchen/dining room/sitting room on the first floor, the kitchen providing a range of contemporary units including a large central island with a breakfast bar and high specification integrated appliances. The sitting area features a modern freestanding wood burning stove and patio doors giving access to a large terrace; a perfect spot from which to enjoy the panoramic views. The first floor accommodation is completed by a generous-sized principal bedroom with patio doors to the terrace, a fitted dressing room and a modern en suite shower room, both with automated energy-efficient lighting. The property’s four remaining double bedrooms can be found on the ground floor, two sharing a contemporary en suite shower room in a Jack and Jill configuration, and three benefitting from French doors to the garden, together with a modern family bathroom and a fitted utility room with a walk-in larder.
