House For Sale £1,200,000
Is there any better sound to wake up to than the wash of the sea onto the shore? Throw back the shutters and be greeted by the ocean on your doorstep twinkling in the first light of the morning? There are not many homes that can offer this unique experience and this special seaside home has five spacious sea facing bedrooms, so all of your friends and family can enjoy it too. Even a delight to drive to, along the picturesque coastal road out of Dartmouth, hearts race faster as they take the last turn out of Strete and see three miles of golden sandy beach at Slapton Sands stretch before them. Right on the promenade, in the breathtaking village of Torcross sits Sea Cottage.
As we enter the property through the handy porchway, the large hallway lets us know that this is no ‘cottage’ but rather a large spacious house. We are lead through timber glazed doors to an enormous kitchen diner - spacious, with room to spare for the table for ten currently housed there. Off to the left a neat modern kitchen in coastal blue shaker, topped with warm-toned granite worktops. The stylish cream range style cooker is a must when cooking for ten. A well-placed island helps to define the space as well as providing an excellent work surface.
To the left of the kitchen a great utility room, housing an American fridge freezer and all of the laundry appliances as well as providing alternative access to the rear garden. The main access to the enclosed rear garden is in the form of large sliding doors which open fully onto a level flagged and lawned area with another dining table and even an outdoor shower - super handy for rinsing off the saltwater after your early morning dip. A couple of steps down takes us to the gated parking area for two cars then to the right, a handsome wooden workshop / garage.
Back through to the house and opposite the sliding doors, another pair of glazed timber doors open to the ground floor living room – a characterful fireplace draws our attention initially but the door on the opposite wall has more exciting things in store...
We are greeted by a large, paved, elevated terrace stretching the whole frontage of the property – big enough for three separate seating areas. Each one has a grand vista before them - panoramic views of the fantastic Start Bay – along Slapton Sands, across to the Day Beacon, all the way to Start Point lighthouse across the horizon. The front elevation of the property is itself very pretty - painted in cream with coastal blue shutters gracing traditional sash windows, enhancing the charm of this cottage by the sea.
Climb the modern staircase to the first floor now and what an unexpected pleasure – carrying on spacious theme, the living room in this property will not disappoint. Verging on the cavernous, thanks to the vaulted ceiling and a bank of floor to ceiling windows framing a sensational view over the verdant Slapton Ley. Imagine curling up on one of the four four-seater sofas in this space, the frameless sliding doors wide open, watching the colours change in the sky as the sun sets over this magical landscape.
Tear yourself away from that view now as we make our way to the master bedroom. A spacious dual aspect room with views out over to Blackpool Sands in one direction and Start Bay from the other. Sunrises must be monumental from this room. Across the hallway, another great dual aspect bedroom. The close proximity to the water and the angle of this room gives the sense of being at sea. This room has the feel of a very luxurious cabin! Housing a bath and a great sized shower along with its own sea views, a sumptuous modern bathroom also shares the space on this floor.
Up to the second floor now – this home has maximised its roof space with a wonderful second storey suite. A sweet double bedroom, a walk-in wardrobe, sitting room and a second luxurious bathroom with bath and shower, the piece de resistance though is the fantastic roofline terrace. There can surely be no finer spot to sip your morning coffee and bask in the sunshine.
