Seacombe is a unique, architect designed house in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the South Devon coast. It is secluded and surrounded by National Trust coastal land.

Sleeping up to 7 people (with capacity for two extra if needed), Seacombe has won awards for its design and sustainability, including the Best Home Competition and two highly coveted RIBA awards. 

Built into a hillside, Seacombe is accessed across a timber bridge.  As you enter, the views of the coast and Deckler’s cliff can be seen from the huge south-facing windows.

There are three bedrooms on this level. The master bedroom includes a luxury ensuite, along with a custom-made king-size bed and its own balcony. The second ensuite double bedroom also enjoys sea views from its own balcony, and the third bedroom can include up to three single beds or a double, with a bathroom next door.

Panoramic views can be seen from a comfortable internal sitting area with access to the main balcony. From here, steps lead to the patio and a private stone-walled garden ideal for sunbathing, barbecuing and stargazing.

Downstairs, the living area features a large, cosy seating area with leather sofas and a TV with surround-sound. Sliding doors lead outside to the spacious patio and garden, a herb garden and a field that’s ideal for group games including croquet and badminton.

More information

The bespoke kitchen, crafted from oak and granite, is very well-equipped and includes a walk-in larder.

The house features oak floors with underfloor heating, an air purification system, filtered water and WiFi available throughout. The sound system allows music or radio (you can also connect your own ipod) to be played through speakers inside and in the garden.

The cinema room, accessed through an opening bookcase, features a 106″ screen with surround sound, dimmable lighting, sofas and an extensive DVD/Bluray collection.  A double mattress can accommodate two more guests comfortably here.

Seacombe is located just above Seacombe Sands, a lovely beach and the South Devon coastal path. The section of path between Salcombe and Start Point is one of the most spectacular, passing Prawle Point, the most southerly point in Britain before The Lizard. Unusual birds, butterflies and moths are frequent visitors, and on summer evenings glow worms are a fascinating sight.

Enjoy lunch at the nearby Gara Rock or East Prawle, or take the ferry across to Salcombe, where fishing, scuba diving, surfing or sailing activities can be arranged.
