5 bedroom detached house for sale

An substantial coastal home in the heart of Stoke Fleming within a short pretty walk of the beautiful Blackpool Sands beach.

Swallowfield House is an impressive, highly versatile detached home. The property sits in gated level gardens that wrap around the house in the centre of the pretty village of Stoke Fleming and offers almost 4,000 sq ft of beautifully arranged accommodation. Set over three floors and benefiting from zoned underfloor heating throughout, this lovely home combines generous proportions, modern comfort, and charming architectural features. Its flexible layout also provides the potential to create a self-contained annexe, ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or rental income potential (subject to any necessary consents).

The ground floor is very much the heart of the home. A welcoming entrance hall leads in to the wonderful family kitchen/breakfast room which is well equipped with a Rangemaster cooker and a central island that creates a natural focal point for family gatherings and entertaining. With vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, roof lights, and full-height glazing opening to the courtyard, this space is bathed in natural light and exudes a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Adjacent to the kitchen is a well-planned utility/laundry room along with a convenient cloakroom.

Also on the ground floor is the elegant main living room, centred around a feature fireplace with an inset wood burner—perfect for cosy evenings in. Dual sets of French doors open onto the surrounding terraces, allowing light to flood the room and creating a seamless connection with the outdoors. Beyond this lies a formal dining room and an inviting sun room, both of which enjoy lovely views over the gardens and provide the ideal setting for relaxed living or entertaining guests.

The lower ground floor offers ample additional living space, making the home especially adaptable. Here you will find a second sitting room, a substantial games room which would make an excellent cinema room, a dedicated study, and a double bedroom with dressing room, served by a modern family bathroom. French doors from both the bedroom and sitting room provide private external access.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite is a real feature of this home. Complete with a dressing room and en suite shower room, it offers a peaceful retreat with elevated views. A further en suite bedroom, two additional double bedrooms, and a well-appointed family bathroom complete this level, offering ample space for family and guests.

Outside, Swallowfield House is approached via electric gates leading to a good sized driveway, providing additional driveway parking and access to the double garage with electric roller door. To the right of the driveway gates is additional parking for a car, boat or camper van, and there is a separate entrance via circular steps to the lower ground floor.

The secluded garden is a particular feature of this lovely home, mainly level, with a large paved dining terrace, and laid to lawn and bordered with mature shrubs and planting offering a good degree of privacy, creating a peaceful haven for birds and wildlife. From the garden, stunning views stretch across the village rooftops to the sea, offering a perfect backdrop for outdoor entertaining or quiet relaxation.

Swallowfield House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, coastal home in a popular village setting—combining space, versatility, privacy, and proximity to the stunning South Hams coastline.
