Gingko House, Stoke Fleming, Dartmouth

Tucked discreetly within the heart of the sought-after coastal village of Stoke Fleming, Gingko House offers a rare combination of privacy, space and individuality.

A private Driveway provides generous parking for four to five cars and leads to a detached double Garage.

The Gardens wrap gently around the house, a private sanctuary where mature planting softens every boundary. Lawned areas are interwoven with quiet corners of shade and sunlight, each inviting pause and reflection. The namesake Gingko tree stands as a sculptural focal point, its leaves shimmering in the breeze.To the side, a secluded Patio opens to the Swimming Pool and sun Terrace, an idyllic setting for summer gatherings or quiet moments of stillness. Every pathway leads to another charming sitting area bathing in dappled light beneath the trees.

Inside, Gingko House reveals itself as a home of unexpected scale and versatility. Its reverse-level living design makes the most of the elevated position, creating a sense of intrigue as the spaces unfold.

Upstairs, the main living spaces enjoy an outlook that stretches across the village towards the sea. The open plan Living Room, Dining Area and Kitchen flow naturally together, defined by thoughtful zoning that balances openness with a sense of purpose. From the Living Room, sliding doors lead out to a peaceful lawned Garden, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors.

The Kitchen opens onto a broad Terrace perfectly positioned for entertaining or lingering over breakfast as the morning light drifts across the bay, a space that feels both elevated and welcoming, where the gentle sweep of the coastline becomes an ever-changing backdrop to daily life and long, unhurried gatherings. Also on this level, the Principal Bedroom Suite provides a serene retreat with an elegant sense of privacy, while a second expansive Bedroom offers exceptional light and wide views, making it equally suitable as a Studio or inspiring workspace.
