LOCATION
Enjoying an enviable position on the edge of the popular South Hams village of Bigbury, Lincombe is discreetly located on Newquay Lane, a quiet country road that meanders down
towards the Avon Estuary. A peaceful yet accessible setting, Lincombe is within easy reach of the coast and nearby towns of Modbury and Kingsbridge, both offering day-to-day amenities and a range of independent shops, cafés, a health centre and supermarkets. Kingsbridge offers a cinema, leisure centre and swimming pool, and secondary education is located in both Kingsbridge and Ivybridge. Bigbury is a picturesque village set within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and less than 2 miles away, is Bigbury-on-Sea, a spot known for offering one of the best beaches in Devon. Linked by a tidal causeway to the famous Burgh Island, with its Art Deco hotel and 13th Century public house, it is a popular choice for locals and visitors alike.

The spectacularly beautiful Avon Estuary separates Bigbury-on-Sea from Bantham, a popular and equally stunning sandy beach, which attracts surfers and outdoor enthusiasts, and a ferry service provides access across the estuary for walkers.

The Journey’s End at Ringmore, a popular village pub is about 2 miles, as is The Oyster Shack, a renowned seafood eatery, and Bigbury Golf Club is about half a mile. The A38,
providing access to Plymouth and Exeter (M5) is about 10 miles, and Totnes with the mainline rail link to London in 2hrs 40 mins, is about 17 miles.

THE PROPERTY
The layout at Lincombe has been thoughtfully designed to maximise both space and light, with a wonderful connection to the gardens and views beyond. There is a welcoming entrance hall, which leads to the kitchen / breakfast room, which forms the heart of the home — a gorgeous, yet practical space fitted with a good range of units, a pantry cupboard, and features an Esse oil-fired range with electric companion, as well as two integrated fridge freezers and a dishwasher. The dining room, an impressive reception room extending to nearly 30’, has French doors leading directly out to the sunny terrace and gardens, ideal for entertaining. A wood-burning stove adds warmth and character to this elegant space. Double doors lead through to the living room, another generous reception room with part vaulted ceiling and wall to wall bespoke library shelving. A further set of doors open to the outside, creating a natural flow between house and garden.

Still on the ground floor, the southerly wing of the house offers excellent bedroom accommodation comprising two spacious double bedrooms, one with en suite bathroom and a further family bathroom, and both with doors leading to the terraces and gardens beyond. A staircase rises to the first floor, where there are two further double bedrooms and a shower room, all benefitting from exceptional outlooks across the valley and gardens.

On the lower ground floor, a substantial family/games room provides superb additional living space, again with doors opening directly onto the terrace. Alternatively, this room could be used as a large 5th bedroom.

OUTSIDE
The gardens at Lincombe are simply breathtaking, thoughtfully landscaped to allow as much or as little effort as you wish, and designed to create an exceptional outdoor environment that is as peaceful as it is picturesque. Extending to approximately one acre, the grounds adjoin Bigbury Golf Course yet offer complete privacy and a series of well-designed spaces that make the most of the spectacular setting and views. A broad south-facing Indian sandstone terrace runs along the rear of the house, ideal for entertaining and outdoor dining, with the remainder of the garden being a mix of lawns, framed by well-stocked banks, mature trees, and established shrubs that offer year-round colour and interest. Throughout the garden, there are decked seating areas, a network of meandering paths and bridges, two water features, a stream and a charming boardwalk, and further terraced areas provide alternative spots to sit, relax, or entertain. Whether enjoying a quiet moment under the trees or hosting larger gatherings on the main terrace, the gardens at Lincombe offer an enviable combination of beauty, privacy, and versatility.

Electric gates open to a large driveway, providing parking for several vehicles. A double garage offers ample storage, with a converted first floor providing further storage. A pump room, wood store and delightful summer house with woodburning stove complete the outbuildings.

DIRECTIONS (TQ7 4BD)
From Modbury, follow the A379 towards Kingsbridge. After approximately one mile, at Harraton Cross, turn right and follow signs to Bigbury-on-Sea. Continue through the village of Bigbury, and as the road sweeps to the right, keep straight on along Newquay Lane. Lincombe will be found further along on the right-hand side. If you reach Bigbury Golf Club, you have gone too far.
