Description

At the head of Waterhead Creek and set in extensive grounds, this magnificent property offers an attractive farmhouse, two converted barns and direct access to the water via a slipway. The private drive leading to Waterhead descends towards the creek with the land either side, opening up the far reaching water and countryside views. A large parking and turning area sits in the centre of the three properties and the attractive facade of the farmhouse with the estuary behind creates a welcoming first impression.

The accommodation flows extremely well, offers great flexibility and is immaculately presented throughout thanks to the extensive remodelling and refurbishment undertaken by the current owners. A high specification kitchen forms the focal point of the ground floor and is open plan with the living room which has a wonderful original fireplace. A dining area with westerly views down the creek sits off the kitchen. The conservatory has planning permission to replace the existing structure with a larger, more contemporary design to take advantage of the magnificent views. Also on the ground floor is a generous bedroom with en suite bathroom, finished to an exceptional standard. On the first floor are four further bedrooms, two of which have en suite facilities as well as a separate family bathroom.

The Barn is connected to the farmhouse via an underground passageway. This ensures the property is ideal for entertaining with ample reception space and bedroom accommodation. The immaculate presentation continues to the barn, which was previously a threshing barn and maintains the impressive proportions and ceiling heights. There is a superb spiral staircase, two large sitting rooms and a beautifully refurbished kitchen. There are two bedrooms, both with en suite shower rooms.

This immaculately refurbished former linhay provides additional accommodation for guests, with a large open plan living room and kitchen area with a mostly glazed front giving superb and far reaching views over the grounds towards Waterhead Creek. The principal bedroom is on the ground floor along with a separate shower room and the second bedroom is accessed via a spiral staircase.

Waterhead offers the rare combination of direct water access and extensive grounds. Immediately surrounding the farmhouse is an area of lawn where planning permission has been granted to build a swimming pool. Above the Linhay is a large swathe of lawn that sits at the highest point of the property and from here some of the finest views can be enjoyed. Beyond this and accessed halfway down the main drive is a large car port / boat store. A gate leads to a further area of landscaped garden to the west of the farmhouse with cut paths that sweep down to the boathouse. Just below the boathouse is the winch and slipway, giving direct access to the creek.


Salcombe 2 miles (by boat), Kingsbridge 6.5 miles, A38 Devon Expressway 16 miles, Totnes 16.5 miles (London Paddington 3 hours 15 minutes) (All distances and times approximate)

Positioned at the head of the creek, Waterhead has magnificent views both over the water and the surrounding countryside. The property is accessed via the quiet tidal road that runs between the popular villages of South Pool and East Portlemouth, and is within easy reach of Salcombe either by boat or via the passenger ferry and water taxi service from East Portlemouth.
