Description

HIGHER SPRIDDLESTONE BARN

Discover this stunning and superbly presented family home, complete with a charming guest cottage, nestled in the tranquil hamlet of Spriddlestone, just under three miles from Wembury and the South Devon coastline. Originally converted in the 1980s, the property has been sympathetically and expertly refurbished by the current owners to an exceptionally high standard, creating a beautiful country residence that harmoniously blends original period features with contemporary, luxury styling.

The main house offers well-proportioned and immensely versatile accommodation, bathed in natural light. The property is entered through the stone porch into the welcoming entrance hall with exposed granite walls and elegant staircase leading upstairs to the galleried landing.  In the heart of the home is the spacious kitchen/breakfast room with double doors leading to the front of the property and a sheltered veranda, providing the perfect spot to enjoy a peaceful morning coffee.  The neighbouring dining room leads directly into a bright sunroom with vaulted ceiling. Further generous reception spaces include a comfortable drawing room and a separate snug/downstairs bedroom, providing ample areas for relaxation and entertaining together with a flexibility of uses.  A useful utility room and downstairs cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

Ascending to the first floor, the principal bedroom is a true sanctuary, boasting an en-suite bathroom, a dedicated dressing room and double doors that open onto a private balcony with superb, far-reaching views across neighbouring fields. Two additional well-appointed bedrooms are complemented by a walk-through study/gym/playroom, which could also serve as an occasional extra bedroom, alongside a modern family shower room.

THE COTTAGE

Across the gravelled driveway is the detached stone-built guest cottage. Again, the accommodation can be adapted to suit many uses, but currently comprises a ground floor bedroom/treatment room, a garage with workshop which can be accessed from the welcoming entrance hall.  Stairs ascend to an open plan living space with vaulted ceilings, a well-equipped kitchen and sitting/dining area, and a comfortable bedroom with an en-suite shower room provide an ideal annex or retreat for guests.

OUTSIDE

Externally, the property is approached via a wide stone-pillared entrance that opens onto a substantial gravel driveway with a convenient turning circle and ample parking, leading to the single garage. The stunning gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, with established flower and herb beds with lush borders providing year round colour. A full-width brick paved terrace, accessible from the sun room, offers the perfect setting for outdoor dining and seating.  Elsewhere in the gardens are tucked away stone seats and benches offering new aspects and opportunities for peaceful contemplation.  The neighbouring fields assure peace and privacy, contributing to the idyllic country setting.   

SITUATION

The property is situated on the edge of the hamlet of Spriddlestone set in beautiful unspoilt countryside with far reaching views across the South Hams and less than 3 miles from the village of Wembury which boasts a thriving community with amenities to include a 14th century church, primary school, forest school, convenience store, surgery, Inn and beach.
 
The maritime City of Plymouth, (just ten minutes drive away) provides the facilities of a major, regional centre, including a large university, medical school, good state and private schools, regional hospital, theatre, National Marine Aquarium and a wide selection of shops, including the Drakes Circus shopping mall. For the boating enthusiast Queen Anne's Battery Marina and the Royal Western Yacht Club of England provide excellent facilities within a short distance.
 
There are wonderful opportunities for walking on the South Devon coastal footpaths to both east and west, with further opportunities for walking or riding on Dartmoor just 8 miles to the north. There are 18 hole golf courses at Staddiscombe, Plympton and Bigbury.
