Situation and description
Frenchman’s Creek sits in the heart of the much sought-after area of South Devon known as the South Hams within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The South Hams region is renowned for having an uncommonly temperate climate, beautiful sandy beaches, unspoilt countryside, hidden combes and a stunning coastline offering wonderful opportunities to enjoy breathtaking views whilst walking along the South West Coastal Footpath.

The house lies on the outskirts of the highly regarded coastal village of Stoke Fleming 2 miles to the west of Dartmouth. The village has an active community, a church, village hall, a well respected primary school post office and store, popular public house and a restaurant. The surrounding area has numerous sandy beaches, coves and sheltered anchorages, including the award winning Blackpool Sands which is a 5 minute walk away, all of which make it an excellent base for dinghy sailing, water sports, boating and long walks along the beautiful coastline.

There are wonderful opportunities for cruising westwards to Salcombe, Fowey and Falmouth and to the south of Dartmouth and of course France and The Channel Islands. The vibrant town of Dartmouth is a short drive away and still retains its original charm and character. The town’s many restaurants, local pubs and boutique shops, along with its exclusive marina and deepwater harbour, have made it a highly sought-after destination.

Communications are excellent with the A38 to the north at Buckfastleigh, providing dual carriageway access to both Exeter and the M5 motorway. There are inter city rail services from Plymouth and Totnes to London Paddington. In addition, there are regular internal and international flights from both Exeter and Plymouth airports.

Situated in a stunning, southerly position, overlooking the sea to Start Point this cleverly designed and impressive house is perfect for both family and weekend living. The combination of the quality of the materials used to construct the house with its privacy and tranquillity has created a highly desirable property. The attention to detail is apparent both inside and outside the house and with the clever use of interior design, the property uses an extravagance of space to create a light and airy atmosphere. The floor plan layout flows beautifully to create the most perfect living and entertaining space with all principle reception rooms having spectacular views out to sea. Of particular note are the sitting room and open plan kitchen breakfast room and dining room that open out onto the south facing terrace and balcony. The master bedroom and main guest bedroom suites have balconies that look out across the gardens, grounds and out to sea. The leisure facilities on the lower ground floor are quite magnificent. There is a gym area, changing room, cinema room and wonderful indoor swimming pool that opens out through concertina doors to the gardens. In general, the impressive number of reception areas, coupled with the ground level accommodation make the layout both flexible and versatile.
