As you drive along a private road, through a stone gateway and up the drive to this stately Edwardian house, you'll be welcomed by a sense of seclusion. With extensive grassy grounds, terraces and verandas, there is plenty to explore even before you venture out of the compound. Steeped in history, this home’s furnishings are a nod to grand hunting lodges, reminiscent of a bygone era. The young and young at heart will be spoilt for choice with a table tennis and snooker table, indoor heated pool and a playroom. It's an oasis of wholesome group activities. Opportunities for water sports, fishing and pony trekking lie in the great outdoors beyond. Roam the serene gardens at your leisure, and a team of friendly housekeepers are at hand to make your stay even easier. Nearby rests Iron Age remains, quaint shops, tearooms, and a local fish market help to keep a traditional charm alive in the village. For fresh leisurely afternoons underneath the gentle rays of the sun, the chalky sands of Brixham Breakwater lie just below. The house has everything you need for a dream escape on the coast.
