Occupying an outstanding position above the South Devon coastline, Samphire is a substantial and beautifully renovated contemporary home commanding breathtaking panoramic views across Broadsands Beach and Elberry Cove, extending towards Brixham and the open sea beyond.
Comprehensively renovated within the past five years, the property combines contemporary design, generous accommodation and energy-efficient technology.

Expansive glazing, open-plan living spaces and extensive outdoor entertaining areas create a seamless connection between home and coastline, while direct access from the garden onto the South West Coast Path places some of Devon's most spectacular scenery quite literally on the doorstep.

The reception hall provides an impressive introduction, leading to a collection of beautifully proportioned living spaces finished to a high contemporary specification. At the heart of the home lies a magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining and living room extending to almost 30 feet in length. Framed by full-width sliding glazed doors, the principal reception space captures the outstanding coastal panorama and opens directly onto an extensive terrace, creating exceptional indoor-outdoor living.

The bespoke kitchen has been thoughtfully designed for both everyday family life and entertaining, featuring sleek contemporary cabinetry, a substantial central island with breakfast seating, integrated appliances and carefully selected finishes throughout.

Bedroom two benefits from en suite facilities, while bedrooms three and four are served by a Jack and Jill bathroom. A stylish main bathroom completes the accommodation on this floor.

A particular feature of the property is the integrated self-contained one-bedroom annexe. Comprising a private entrance, kitchen/living room, double bedroom and bathroom, the annexe is ideally suited to multigenerational living, independent guest accommodation, home working or potential supplementary income.

The house stands within a generous three-tiered garden. Immediately adjoining the principal living accommodation is an extensive terrace perfectly positioned for al fresco dining, entertaining and relaxation whilst taking full advantage of the extraordinary coastal views. The terrace acts as a natural extension of the internal living space and provides an idyllic setting from which to enjoy the surrounding seascape.

Beyond, the gardens descend towards the coastline through a series of attractive and varied outdoor areas that offer opportunities for entertaining, recreation, formal planting and quiet relaxation

The lowest tier has evolved into a wonderful orchard and wild garden. Plum, pear, peach and apple trees provide seasonal blossom and fruit, while natural planting encourages an abundance of birds and local wildlife.

From the bottom of the garden, private access leads directly onto the South West Coast Path, allowing immediate access to miles of spectacular coastal walks stretching towards Elberry Cove, Brixham, Berry Head, Goodrington and the wider English Riviera.

Adding further character to the setting, the heritage Dartmouth Steam Railway passes below the garden on its seasonal timetable, creating a uniquely nostalgic coastal backdrop as traditional steam trains travel between Paignton and Kingswear.
