SituationThe village of Kingswear is situated on the banks of the River Dart in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, surrounded by National Trust land in the South Hams region of South Devon. On the opposite side of the picturesque River Dart is the historic harbour town of Dartmouth. This area has an abundance of sheltered estuaries providing anchorages, deep water moorings and marinas making it ideal for sailing enthusiasts. From the River Dart, there are wonderful opportunities for cruising to Salcombe, Newton Ferrers and Plymouth Sound to the west, Torbay to the east and France and the Channel Islands to the south.

Dartmoor National Park lies approximately 10 miles to the north, providing an abundance of opportunities for riding, walking and fishing whilst there are well-regarded golf courses at Churston and Dartmouth.

Communication links in the area are excellent with access to the M5 motorway at Exeter via the A38 Expressway. There are regular rail services to London Paddington from Totnes, and a good selection of domestic and international flights from Exeter Airport, which is about 34 miles away.

The Golf HouseThe Golf House sits in an outstanding private position on south facing slopes of rolling countryside, with spectacular views over the River Dart towards Dartmouth and Kingswear. Originally built as the club house to the Kingswear Golf Course in the 1930’s, the property has been extensively remodelled and has been finished to an exceptional standard throughout, having previously been the winner of Master Builder of the Year Award 2006. The house is arranged over three floors, constructed around a Carpenter Oak frame with under floor heating and Lutron lighting systems on

all levels. Attention to detail and the utmost care have been

put in to what now provides the ideal setting for both formal

entertaining and comfortable family living.

From a private road, running above the river through

National Trust woodland, a pair of electric wooden gates

open to a resin bonded gravel driveway that sweeps up

past the house to a tegula paved turning circle with space for several vehicles. Steps lead down to a greenoak framed reception hall with a pair of part glazed oak front doors that open to an outstanding reception space and a further impressive kitchen / breakfast room with superb views and doors leading onto the terrace. The drawing room flows seamlessly with the dining room, which is south facing and

has seven full height, panoramic curved glazed double hardwood doors that fold back and open to the south facing flagstone terrace overlooking the infinity pool and to Kingswear, Dartmouth and the River Dart beyond. From the reception hall, two further doors open to a well-equipped utility room and cloakroom. There is also a gym in this part of the house and spacious, integral double garage.

From the reception hall, an elegant oak staircase rises to a beautifully designed galleried walkway and landing in a square shape with window seats and glazed folding doors leading to a balcony and wrap around timber decked veranda, providing an idyllic spot from where to enjoy the far reaching views. The master bedroom is of particular note, accessed from the main gallery across a bridge and via a spiral oak staircase to the second floor where the finest views from the house can be enjoyed. Sliding doors lead to decked roof terrace and the en-suite bathroom has a free standing bath and separate shower. There are four further bedrooms, three guest suites which are accessed from the galleried landing and a further bedroom towards the rear of the house with dressing room and en-suite shower room. This bedrooms has its own access, separate from the main guest accommodation and would lend itself to use as an integral annexe.
