  • Alan

    “Fantastic holiday home for a large family.”

    This was our second visit and we were extremely pleased with the house and its facilities. The pool and games room were a real plus for the children and kept them occupied on the few rainy periods we encountered. We will be booking again soon.

The property

1½ miles from Stoke Gabriel is Sandridge Barton, a splendid Georgian house with indoor swimming pool in its own grounds above the wide estuary of the beautiful River Dart.

A quarter of a mile of drive leads gently down a valley to the house, which looks over its enclosed sloping garden (table/chairs, barbecue) with stream and three ponds (unfenced, children beware), and a partly wooded valley beyond leading down to the river.

It is a fine view; all the fields and woods that run to the river are part of the estate, excellent for bird life (shelduck on the ponds, egrets nesting on the estuary).

You are welcome to walk the working farm estate with its beech and oak woods (bluebells) and vineyard, adhering to the Country Code.

Behind the house is a games barn (table tennis, table football), leading through to a snooker room (full-sized table).

The house - which has large rooms, filled with light - is a spacious, comfortable home.

Ground floor: flagstone-floored entrance hall, off which 2 steps up to an elegant drawing room (comfortable seating for 8) with white marble open fireplace (logs included), double French windows leading to the terrace overlooking the garden, much comfort.

Sitting room with comfy seating for 5, TV/Sky/DVD to the swimming pool.

Large L-shaped dining/snug/kitchen with table comfortably seating 10 (12 chairs), and snug area with open fire, flagstoned floor, comfortable seating for 5, TV/DVD and double doors to patio; well-equipped kitchen area with wood floor, dishwasher, microwave, double-oven Aga, electric cooker, freezer, larder fridge, island with 2-ring ceramic hob.

From the utility room, stairs (stairgate) down to a more basic annexe with double bed (footboard), TV/DVD, en suite bathroom (suite plus hand-shower) and door to the kitchenette; door to garden.

Upstairs, five more bedrooms:- - spacious master double (6' sleigh bed) looking to the river with TV/DVD and huge en suite bathroom (bath plus hand-shower, washbasin) with own separate walk-in shower cabinet (shower, loo).

The large indoor heated swimming pool is magnificent, built to fit the Georgian style of the house - columns, animal murals, a large glass domed ceiling over the mosaic-lined pool (30' x 15' x 4'9" deep), two large French windows leading to the terrace overlooking the valley, so plenty of lounging space.

Shower and changing room (towels provided) with loo.

This is a marvellous place. Stoke Gabriel: pretty and beautifully situated village (three pubs, PO, shops, restaurant, medieval church) sloping to a little quay (good crabbing) and creek (boats) off the River Dart estuary.

Sandy beaches at Torbay, and Totnes (attractive old town on the Dart), each 4 miles.

Brixham, good golf (Churston) and car ferry to Dartmouth (town), 5 miles.

National Trust Greenway and Coleton Fishacre, 5 and 8 miles.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £750.
