Lower Town, Malborough

Moxley is an exceptional south-facing home occupying a large and private plot in Lower Town, one of the most coveted roads in Malborough. Beautifully refurbished and wonderfully spacious, the property offers flexible accommodation arranged entirely on one level, together with mature gardens, far-reaching countryside views and an extraordinary amount of parking.

To the front, mature yew hedging frames an extensive private driveway with space for up to eight cars or, equally, several boats - an exceptionally rare asset in the heart of Malborough. Purpose-built bin and bicycle storage has been thoughtfully incorporated.

From the moment you step inside, the quality of the finish and attention to detail are immediately apparent. At the heart of the home is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, where an abundance of natural light creates a wonderfully bright and welcoming atmosphere. Designed for both relaxed everyday living and effortless entertaining, the room incorporates a newly fitted contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances. Adjoining the living area, a separate garden room provides a versatile second reception space, opening directly onto the terraces and framing beautiful views across the garden and rolling countryside towards East Soar.

The home is currently arranged with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, although its adaptable layout offers the potential to create an additional bedroom very easily. One principal bedroom is generously proportioned and enjoys its own private lounge / conservatory, while the second principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, an en suite bathroom and double doors opening onto a secluded south facing patio. A further bedroom, presently used as a dressing room, is complemented by a spacious family bathroom.

A generous utility room has independent access from both the driveway and rear garden, together with its own outside area and hot and cold water taps. Particularly well suited to an active coastal lifestyle, the property also includes a dedicated sports storage gallery with space and fittings for paddleboards, golf clubs, bicycles and other outdoor equipment, conveniently accessible from both the front and rear.

The south-facing gardens are a defining feature of Moxley. Extending to approximately a quarter of an acre, they are wonderfully private, bordered by mature trees and planting, and enjoy an open outlook without being overlooked. Three expansive patio areas provide a choice of places for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the sunshine throughout the day. 

Having undergone extensive refurbishment during the past 12 months, Moxley is beautifully finished and ready to enjoy immediately. For those wishing to develop the property further, designs, relevant permissions and a fully costed proposal are already in place, offering an exciting opportunity to take this already impressive home to another level.

Combining effortless single-level living with beautifully presented interiors, exceptional gardens, far-reaching views and remarkable parking provision, Moxley is a rare and highly versatile home in one of the South Hams’ most desirable village settings.

The Local Area

Less than 2.5 miles from Salcombe, Malborough is a highly desirable village with a thriving year-round community and an enviable position at the heart of the South Hams. The village offers an excellent range of everyday amenities, including two pubs, a primary school, extensive playing fields, a post office, village shop and petrol station. 

Lower Town is particularly admired for its attractive blend of traditional thatched cottages and individually designed homes, together with elevated views across the surrounding countryside. The location provides a wonderful balance of village life and coastal accessibility, with Salcombe approximately five minutes away by car and the wider amenities of Kingsbridge also within easy reach.

The South West Coast Path and the beaches at North Sands, South Sands, Hope Cove and Soar Mill Cove are all readily accessible, with scenic footpaths offering beautiful walking routes through the countryside and towards the coast. Thurlestone’s renowned golf course and sandy beaches are also nearby. With rolling countryside and some of South Devon’s finest coastline on the doorstep, the area is perfectly suited to walking, cycling, swimming, paddleboarding, sailing and relaxed days by the sea.
