On the waters edge

The Exeter office of Savills has been instructed to sell Waterside House set in the sought after village of Stoke Gabriel in the famous South Hams region of South Devon.

As the name implies, Waterside House is perfectly located on the water’s edge, enjoying spectacular views from the many windows, balconies and terraces over the unique Mill Pool to the deciduous wooded banks beyond or down stream to the tower of the parish church of St Gabriel and St Mary with the River Dart beyond. With steps leading down to the river via the terraces and balconies, the house is ideally placed to enjoy not only the water frontage, but also the south Devon countryside, Dartmouth and Totnes being about 4.5 and 5 miles away by boat and Torbay about 6 miles away. The stylish accommodation includes a master bedroom suite with river balcony, a guest suite, 2 further bedrooms, open living space with dining area, sitting area, kitchen, laundry room, study, cloakroom, family bathroom, shower room, games room with kitchenette, studio and workshop and would provide the discerning owner with a property which is just perfect to entertain in.

Stoke Gabriel is picturesquely scattered on the east bank of the estuary of the Dart and is surrounded by beautiful and unspoilt undulating countryside. This ancient and unspoilt village retains much of its period charm with records showing that a church has been in the village as far back as when William the Conqueror defeated King Harold in 1066. Set within the church grounds is the famous yew tree reputed to be nearly 1300 years old and rumour states if you walk backwards round the tree three times your wish will come true!

Richard Addington of Savills says “Looking over the Mill Pool at sunset from the balconies is amazingly calming. Whether you had this house for a permanent or holiday residence, the benefits are obvious”

Waterside House is being offered for sale at a guide price of £1.5 million.
