LOCATION
Farwell House is situated in the heart of the village of Stoke Fleming, which lies within the South Hams and AONB. This thriving community offers a general store / post office, a primary school, church, hotel, a popular village pub and bistro restaurant / wine bar. There are over forty groups and societies in the village, catering for all interests and ages. Stoke Fleming is situated on the coastal road which links Kingsbridge and Dartmouth and benefits from a regular bus service connecting the two towns. Dartmouth, which lies some two miles distant, offers a secondary school, a leisure center, two swimming pools (indoor and outdoor), a cinema, an eclectic mix of shops, boutiques, galleries, pubs and restaurants and is home to the Britannia Royal Naval College. There are also several annual festivals, including the Dartmouth Food Festival, Dartmouth Music Festival and Dartmouth Royal Regatta. The South-West Coast Path wends its way through the village, offering magnificent scenic walking in both directions, and Blackpool Sands, a Blue Flag beach, is about half a mile. Dartmouth’s deep-water port attracts sailing vessels from all over the world and is (in our opinion!) one of the prettiest in Europe. The nearby town of Kingsbridge offers further amenities and schooling, and Totnes offers a main line rail link to London Paddington in about 2 hr 40 min.
THE PROPERTY
Farwell House is an elegant Grade II listed home, dating from both the Georgian and Victorian periods, with beautifully proportioned rooms, arranged over two floors with a stunning central bifurcated staircase lit by a domed circular lantern. A sweeping driveway leads to the front of Farwell House, and a rear driveway provides access to East Farwell and Farwell Cottage. Farwell Cottage has its own driveway and parking to the rear. Both Farwell House and East Farwell are presented in beautiful order throughout, having both been the subject of comprehensive renovations, with a contemporary extension being added to East Farwell. Great care has been taken to ensure the house does not lose any of its original charm or architectural merit, and much of the renovation includes reclaimed items being reinstated, such as marble fireplaces, window shutters and cast-iron radiators. The works carried out include new electrics, plumbing and heating, and the installation of underfloor heating, solar panels and zone electrics. An interior designer was appointed to oversee the décor and furnishings, and attention to detail is visible at every turn. The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance vestibule with a traditional black and white tiled floor, a reception hall with the grand and elegant bifurcated staircase which splits and rises to a galleried landing overlooking the hall, a drawing room, dining room and library / sitting room. The main reception rooms are all south-facing and feature floor to ceiling sash windows overlooking the gardens, and there are double doors opening out onto the terrace and garden from the drawing room. The heartbeat of this beautiful home is the well-appointed kitchen, which is outstanding in every respect. With contemporary touches, such as copper ladded facings over the full-size sliding doors to the adjoining terrace and a bespoke copper central island, integrated appliances include a controllable 5 oven Aga style range, additional gas and induction hob, Quooker instant boiling water tap, Fisher and Paykel fridge / freezer, double oven and wine fridge.
In addition, on the ground floor is a cloakroom, plant room and utility boot room/store. Steps lead to a wine cellar. The first floor of the main house offers a total of five bedrooms and four bath / shower rooms. The main bedroom features a beautiful triple bay window overlooking the gardens, a dressing room beautifully fitted with bespoke cabinetry, and a large en suite bathroom.
OUTSIDE
The gardens at Farwell House are a particular feature, being very private, well-established and full of colour. There is a full width south facing paved terrace to the front of the house, providing the perfect setting for al fresco dining, and adjoining the kitchen, is a walled courtyard terrace with hot tub and an outdoor kitchen, with built-in BBQ and Bushman wood fired oven. Within the garden is a large pond, a selection of fruit trees, a mature wooded area, lawns and flower and shrub beds. The driveway leads to a large parking area, with garaging and storage.
DIRECTIONS (TQ6 0QB)
Directions From Dartmouth proceed along the A379 coastal road towards Blackpool Sands, following the road into the village of Stoke Fleming. At the village shop / post office, proceed straight ahead into Church Road, and then turn immediately right after The Green Dragon into Rectory Lane. Proceed to the end of Rectory Lane, and the driveway to Farwell House is straight ahead.
