7 bedroom house

Capton Farm is a wonderful example of a late Georgian, early Victorian farmhouse, which retains much of its original charm whilst providing a light and airy, contemporary family home with beautifully-proportioned rooms. At the front of the house, both the drawing room and study have beautiful views over the land and rolling countryside beyond. The stylish, custom-built kitchen has been designed around a central island with integrated double ovens, microwave and an induction hob as well as an oil-fired AGA. There is a walkin pantry and a spacious and fitted utility room. The dining room flows beautifully into the snug / TV room on one side and on the other an attractive Amdega conservatory, perfect for dining, with underfloor heating and views through French doors over the lower terrace and open countryside. On the first floor, there is an impressive principal bedroom suite with fabulous views, a dressing room and an ensuite bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms on this floor plus a single bedroom, a family bathroom and a shower room. On the top floor is a large studio room, perfect for working from home, children's playroom, music room or bedroom, plus a bathroom and a further room ideal for storage or bedroom.

The property is approached via a gravel drive passing a lake, creating a real sense of arrival. The elegantly-landscaped south-east facing gardens have been extensively planted for year-round interest and create a wonderful sense of calm and tranquility. There is a walled terrace at the top of the garden, ideal for al fresco dining, with a majestic ancient hornbeam. By the stables, a kitchen garden. There is an orchard with wildflowers to support the pollinating bees, and a meadow and larger field, both with field shelters, suitable for equestrian use. Much of the land takes full advantage of the superb open-country views.

There are excellent outbuildings including a spacious double garage, double open linhay, stables and yard.

The beautiful South Hams area of Devon is well known for its sailing, fishing and equestrian activities, and the South West Coast Path wraps around the coast here with stunning cliff top and beach walks. There are excellent beaches nearby at Slapton, Blackpool Sands, Bantham, Wonwell, Mothecombe and Bigbury. Sailing is at Dartmouth, Salcombe, Bantham, and Newton Ferrers. Excellent golf courses at Thurlestone, Bigbury and Wrangaton. Dartmoor National Park is also nearby which offers fantastic walking and outdoor pursuits. Capton Farm is right in the heart of the South Hams countryside, in a secluded and tiny hamlet, with some of the finest views in the area. There are several lovely towns - considered real gems in Devon - in which Capton Farm is centrally located. Steeped in history, with its 14th century castle at the mouth of the River Dart, is Dartmouth (7.8 miles). This busy town offers the world-famous Dartmouth Royal Regatta, a dynamic range of modern and quirky shops, galleries and restaurants such as the famous Seahorse, twice-weekly markets in the Market Square, and the Flavel Theatre which hosts fabulous theatre and comedy as well as live streaming opera, ballet and plays from London on a regular basis. The town also has three excellent supermarkets, a medical centre and a good range of schools - the grammar school at Churston is just over the water by ferry.

The river is deep for keel boats. Darthaven Marina is in Kingswear, next to the Royal Dart Yacht Club which offers racing and a lively social scene, both easily accessible on the lower ferry. Totnes (8 miles) is at the head of the tidal part of the River Dart. It is a bustling market town, full of interest, colour and character that stems from a rich cultural and historical heritage. Facilities include a hospital, a wide range of good local schools, a large supermarket and an extensive range of independent shops, cafés and galleries. There are riverside walks, the Guild Hall, churches and a Norman motte-andbailey c
