5 Bed in Slapton (oc-s41370)

Set in a peaceful hamlet, near Slapton, this impressive country retreat enjoys a prime position for exploring the very best of South Devon. The sweeping shingle beach of Slapton Sands lies approximately 2 miles away, perfect for long coastal walks and water sports, while the vibrant market town of Kingsbridge is 5 miles from the doorstep, offering independent shops, galleries and eateries. The crystal-clear waters and sailing haven of Salcombe can be reached within 8 miles, with Dartmouth approximately 6 miles away, famed for its historic castle and river cruises along the Dart. Walkers will adore direct access to countryside trails nearby, while the dramatic South West Coast Path and the iconic headlands of Start Point (approximately 9 miles) promise unforgettable views. This tranquil yet well-connected location makes an idyllic base for families and groups seeking both adventure and relaxation.


Stepping inside, you’ll enter a grand and light-filled hallway that sets the tone for this elegant and spacious property. To the right sits a formal dining room, ideal for celebratory meals, while to the left a cosy snug beckons, complete with a warming wood burner for relaxed evenings. Just off the snug is a charming study, providing a quiet retreat should you need to catch up on work or fancy curling up with a good book. Just off the hallway, you’ll also find a separate WC. The heart of the home is a stunning open-plan lounge and kitchen filled with natural light. The beautifully designed kitchen/dining room is both stylish and functional, flowing seamlessly into the sitting area where plush seating and a second wood burner create a wonderfully inviting atmosphere. Bi-fold doors open directly onto the patio. A staircase from this space leads to a superb loft-style games room, where table tennis and a pool table promise hours of entertainment for all ages. From the kitchen, you can access a utility, boot room and WC/shower room ideal for storing your outdoor gear after muddy walks, which continues through to an additional kitchenette and secondary lounge – a perfect self-contained space offering flexibility. Here you’ll find a generous ground-floor double bedroom with an accessible en-suite shower room. Returning to the main hallway, a striking staircase ascends to the first and second floors, where four beautifully presented bedrooms await: two king-size with en-suite bathrooms and dressing rooms on the first floor and two super-king-size on the second, with en-suite shower rooms. The super-king-size beds are zip-and-link, so these rooms can be made up as twins on request.


Outside, the property truly comes into its own. Surrounded by immaculate lawns, serene lakes and open countryside, this is a setting that feels both private and wonderfully expansive. Multiple outdoor seating areas invite you to soak up the sunshine throughout the day, whether enjoying morning coffee, leisurely lunches, or evening drinks and dinners cooked on the BBQ. The presence of a stable and the open rural views further enhance the sense of escape, creating a magical backdrop for your stay. Parking is available for six cars.
