Dramatic views and stylish interiors are the names of the game at this home overlooking the coastline between Paignton and Brixham. A big, bright family home with a rear garden that drops away, it offers up staggering vistas, with big windows and a huge terrace built to make the most of it. Period touches like parquet floors, fireplaces and bay windows nod back to the 1930s, while luxurious, modern furnishings bring everything right up to date. Perfect for families, there's a great deal of space to spread out in, with an open layout to the fully equipped kitchen and dining space – with one of the best views in the house. Elsewhere, a cosy living room boasts velvet sofas, a log burner and sliding doors to the terrace, while a second sitting room doubles as an extra bedroom, with a wheelchair-accessible ground-floor bedroom off it. Upstairs, the main bedroom is a lesson in elegant styling, and we love not only its far-reaching views across the hills but also its stunning en-suite – the freestanding tub is such a treat. And we'd have been quite content if it stopped there, but this home also comes with a slight surprise – underneath the rear terrace, you'll find a bonus room used as a gym, with a treadmill, bike machine and weights. Enjoy all your meals on the sunny terrace during the summer months, gaze out across the sea and even watch the steam trains go about their business at the local heritage railway. It's just a walk or a short drive to Broadsands Beach, and you can choose between heading out for a day at Paignton Zoo, visiting Brixham Harbour or even grabbing your clubs for a game of golf nearby – it's all within easy striking distance.
