5 bedroom detached house

Strete Barton House is a superb 16th Century manor house which is presented in excellent condition with outstanding views out to sea from many of the key rooms. The entrance is particularly attractive with a modern glass hallway which sits in juxtaposition the main house.

The property has superb entertaining space with a well equipped kitchen with integral appliances and a large island unit. Double doors lead through to the dining room which offers a large stone fireplace with inset woodburning stove. The living room, again, benefits from a large woodburning stove in an attractive fire surround. An internal door leads from the living room through to the guest annexe which offers a ground floor sitting room and bathroom with a first floor bedroom. The annexe is also accessible via an external entrance from the garden.

The first floor comprises five double bedrooms, four of them with en suite bath/shower rooms and a further family shower room. Stairs continue to rise to the second floor which is a large converted attic space suitable as further accommodation or a large games room if preferred.

Strete Barton House is approached through a five bar gate, which leads to a large driveway providing parking for two/three vehicles. The gardens have been beautifully landscaped with mature shrubs, hedging and flower borders. There are two beautiful dining terraces, a large ornamental fish pond with water feature and a discretely hidden utility area complete with garden shed.

The former garage has been converted and is now a large laundry room, complete with boiler and store room.

Strete lies within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within the district known as the South Hams. The village is situated on the South West Coastal Path and provides beautiful walks to the end of Slapton Sands, the wonderful beach at Blackpool Sands and the attractive neighbouring countryside. The village benefits from a popular pub and a post office/village store. Dartmouth, home to the Britannia Royal Naval College, is close at hand, offering secondary schools, a wealth of shops, boutiques, galleries, pubs and restaurant.

The regular bus service (number 3), which travels through the village, links Kingsbridge (11 miles) and Dartmouth (5 miles along the coast road). Totnes has a mainline railway station giving direct connections to London Paddington. Exeter International Airport, for those wishing to travel further afield, is only 42 miles away.

Dartmouth, famous for its historic port and boating amenities, is also home to the Britannia Royal Naval College. The town has excellent facilities for sailing, with deep water moorings, three marinas and a number of boat yards. For the cruising yachtsman Dartmouth is the perfect base from which to explore France, The Channel Islands and the picturesque harbours and creeks of the West Country.
