Situation - Stoke Fleming is a quintessentially English village with a primary school, local store, active church, village hall, a restaurant and a village pub at its centre. Located within the South Hams, an Area of Natural Outstanding Beauty with splendid coastal scenery, the village stands in a prominent position overlooking Start Bay. Less than a mile away is the award-winning beach of Blackpool Sands, considered to be one of the finest of the many in the South Hams. The historic naval port of Dartmouth located a few miles away should provide all your retail and recreational needs, with the town full of galleries, restaurants and shops. To the north is the medieval market town of Totnes with its main-line railway station and further amenities whilst the A38 Devon expressway is approximately 20 miles away, allowing speedy access to the cities of Exeter and Plymouth and the country beyond.

Description - After passing through the popular village of Stoke Fleming towards the beautiful Blackpool Sands, a discreet and understated private road leads down to the coastline. As you approach the property the breath-taking view of the sea and the arc of golden beaches become visible giving an indication of what is to come. Located towards the end of the highly desirable Overseas Estate is this fabulous, detached property enjoying stunning, unobstructed sea views. Having been in the current ownership for over 20 years, opportunity to purchase in this exclusive estate is few and far between. The property offers over 2000 sq.ft of coastal accommodation occupying a plot measuring approx. 0.25 acres with the principal rooms all enjoying the spectacular views, including five bedrooms arranged over two floors. Outside, there is a good-sized coastal garden, heated swimming pool and various seating areas overlooking the stunning coastline.

Accommodation - A short set of steps lead from the road to the front door which in turn opens to an entrance lobby. This space has plenty of room for coats and boots which together with a quarry tiled floor makes this a practical entrance to the property when returning from a trip to the beach or a coastal walk. A solid timber door leads to the dining hallway which is of generous size and offers plenty of space for a large dining table for family gatherings or an additional reception room if required. Double doors open to the sitting room which is situated to the rear of the property making the most of the truly spectacular views on offer. A feature gas fireplace provides a warming focal point for the cooler months whilst large sliding windows open the room to the fresh coastal air transforming the space and bringing the outside in to the property. Next to the sitting room is the kitchen/breakfast room which features the same views as the sitting room as well as a door leading down to the garden and swimming pool. The kitchen has plenty of space for a breakfast table and floor and wall mounted units as well as an integrated electric oven and hob. Behind the kitchen is a useful utility area with space for a fridge/freezer and washing and drying machines. There is also an internal door to the store area which was formerly a garage.

On the ground floor are three bedrooms that will all accommodate at least a double bed. Bedrooms three and four enjoy the same magnificent view as the sitting room with bedroom three benefitting from a delightful dual aspect and built in wardrobes. Bedroom five is situated to the rear of the property and would equally make a fantastic study. The ground floor accommodation is served by a partially tiled bathroom with shower over, WC and wash hand basin.

A turned staircase rises to the first-floor landing and a strategically located window that floods the space with natural light. A small nook next to the window provides a wonderful spot to relax with a book or admire the far-reaching views out to sea and along the coast to Start Point. From the landing the two further bedrooms can be accessed along with a separate WC with wash hand basin. Bedroom one has a charming, decorative fireplace, built in wardrobes as well as access to eaves storage and an ensuite bathroom featuring a bath positioned to take in the view and unwind. Bedroom two also has access to eaves storage and conveniently tucked in the corner of the room is a shower cubicle.

Outside - To the front of the property is space to park two vehicles. The garden can be accessed either side of the property as well as from the kitchen where a short set of steps lead down to a paved terrace which is perfect for alfresco dining and admiring the garden and swimming pool below. From the terrace a large storage area can be accessed providing plenty of space for equipment for the garden and swimming pool.
