Strete, Dartmouth, Devon, TQ6.

Hidcote House is a beautiful example of contemporary coastal architecture, with well-proportioned rooms and with the emphasis being on the surrounding coastline and far-reaching sea views. From the moment you walk in, the house impresses you, with superb attention to detail and sublime views from just about every window.

The entrance hall, with high vaulted ceiling, is spacious and light, and provides access to the large utility / boot room and the exquisite kitchen / dining room. The bespoke kitchen is a stunning open plan room, beautifully fitted with hand-made cabinetry and hand-made tiles. The kitchen is well equipped with an Aga, which is electric and from the Total Control range, and further appliances, which are all Miele, include a steam combination oven, two fridge/freezers and one larder fridge, dishwasher, warming drawer and coffee machine. The dining room and sitting room, both feature wooden floors and there is a remote-control log effect Faber Fire. The kitchen, dining room and sitting room, all benefit from double doors leading to the south-facing terrace, and provide plenty of opportunities to sit and while away the day whilst admiring the sea view. Off the living room is a sun lounge, with wall-to-wall windows and doors leading to the garden.

The hand-crafted staircase, which rises to the first floor, is a stunning central feature and opens onto a large galleried landing, which offers a wonderful sitting / study room. The main bedroom is generous in size and benefits from a large walk-in dressing room with hand-made cabinetry, and there is a beautiful en suite bathroom with bath and rain head shower. There are a further three double bedrooms and a shared shower room.

Gardens
The gardens beautifully complement Hidcote House, having been thoughtfully landscaped and planted with colourful beds and borders. They are largely level and laid to lawn, with terraces and seating areas. The sliding electric gate provides access to the driveway, which in turn leads to the double garage.
