LOCATION
Little Capton is situated between Dartmouth and Dittisham and lies within the South Hams and the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, an area famous for its stunning coastline with sandy beaches and hidden coves. Dittisham remains one of the most sought-after villages in the South Hams, being a quintessential ‘chocolate box’ village, with a wonderful mix of cottages and thatched houses, quaint lanes and a large village green known as The Ham. The village offers two village pubs, a post office/general store, a waterside cafe, and a popular sailing club. Dartmouth, the home of Britannia Royal Naval College, offers an eclectic and wonderful mix of shops, boutiques, pubs and restaurants, as well as a cinema, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, two supermarkets, an M&S Food Hall, a health centre and a good selection of junior and senior schools. There is always plenty to do, with several festivals and regattas being held throughout the year. The nearby town of Totnes (12 miles) offers a main line rail link to London Paddington (2 hr 40 mins) and the A38 (19 Miles) provides access to the cities of Plymouth and Exeter, and the M5 beyond.

THE PROPERTY
Little Capton has been the subject of extensive reconfiguration and development over the last ten years, and the finished result is an outstanding family home and guest apartment, both of superb quality, with stunning landscaped gardens complementing the overall finish. The works carried out have been exhaustive, with only the finest materials being used, and to give some context to this, the roof for example, was replaced in its entirety with Delabole Slate, a superior handcrafted slate from Cornwall. The ground floor offers both open plan living and hideaway rooms, with the kitchen/living/dining extending to some 40’ across, with three sets of tri-fold doors opening on to the terrace, ensuring the stunning vista is on constant display. The kitchen is well equipped with four ovens, including a steam oven and microwave, fridge, freezer, wine fridge, and pantry cupboard. The wood burner in the sitting area is an additional focal point. There are two further reception rooms, in the form of an office with doors to the terrace, again offering superb views, and a TV room/library with a gas fire. Stairs rise from the entrance hall to a galleried landing with glass balustrade, the first floor comprises four bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms, with the main bedroom being the outstanding feature of this floor. It is nearly 30’ in length, with an adjoining dressing room and beautiful en suite bathroom. The views are sublime and unusually extend across both Dartmoor and out to sea. The wonderfully spacious and bright, guest apartment adjoins the house and comprises a kitchen/living room, double bedroom, and en suite shower room.

OUTSIDE
The gardens at Little Capton have been beautifully landscaped and planted with a wonderful mix of flowers, shrubs, spring bulbs and stone walling. There is very pretty water feature of two ponds connected by a stream, and a bridge, which crosses to the garden. A stone terrace wraps around the house, providing the most exquisite place to sit and enjoy the far-reaching views, as far as Dartmoor, with Haytor in the distance. The garden studio provides the perfect office or children’s den, and is complemented by a large, decked terrace. Much of the garden is lawned and bordered with a high Devon bank and hedging, beyond which is a footpath. To the front of Little Capton is a large, gravelled driveway, providing parking for several vehicles.

OUTBUILDINGS
The outbuildings extend to over 2,300 sq ft, with the barn currently empty, having been used as offices and a commercial laundry. This large and useful barn would suit a workshop, studio or garaging. There is a log shed, stores and mobile home on site, which can be removed if needed, however the current owners inherited it from the previous owners, and it has remained in situ ever since.

DIRECTIONS (TQ6 0JE)
