Description

Luscombe Maye is delighted to bring to market this spectacular country and waterside home, set within an idyllic and private setting, this exceptional residence enjoys and offers a combination of character, space and versatility, with triple garage, barn, swimming pool and delightful landscaped grounds with far‐reaching views over Dartmouth estuary.

Lower Weeke enjoys a truly exceptional and elevated setting, approached via a long, private driveway lined with mature and vibrant plantings of rhododendrons, camellias and hydrangeas. This impressive approach immediately sets the tone for what lies beyond, culminating in breath taking panoramic views across the Dart Estuary, the bustling marinas, the historic town, and the rolling countryside beyond.

Beautifully presented throughout, the property offers an abundance of natural light alongside generous, versatile living spaces, ideally suited to both family life and entertaining.
From the welcoming entrance lobby, stairs rise to the main hall from which the living accommodation unfolds. The impressive sitting room is a superb reception space, featuring dual-aspect windows that showcase far-reaching water and countryside views. A striking wood-burning fireplace forms the focal point of the room, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Adjacent to the sitting room, leads into the bespoke timber-beamed conservatory dining room, providing ample space for a large dining table and enjoying delightful views over the mature gardens. Doors open directly onto the rear terrace, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. The adjoining utility room is well-equipped with extensive worktop space, storage units and room for appliances. With direct access to both the terrace and main driveway, it is perfectly positioned for everyday practicality. A substantial dual-aspect study sits opposite, flooded with natural light and offering an ideal space for home working or a peaceful retreat. At the heart of the home is the bespoke kitchen, beautifully framed by exposed oak beams that create a unique and characterful setting. Thoughtfully designed for modern living, the kitchen features a central island, an impressive four door electric Aga with an additional Aga mini dual fuel stand alone cooker, extensive storage and generous worktop space. There is ample room for informal dining, making it a wonderful space for gathering with family and friends. A cosy wood burner adds warmth and character, creating a comfortable and inviting space. The kitchen flows effortlessly into a cosy snug beneath the timber-beamed mezzanine level, where a charming wood burner creates a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere.

The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive. The master bedroom provides a luxurious retreat, complete with a spacious dressing room and elegant en-suite comprising a walk-in shower, handbasin and WC. A stunning turret bay window frames picturesque views across the surrounding countryside. A second generous double bedroom also benefits from a turret bay window, enjoying spectacular views over the Dart Estuary and countryside beyond. This room is served by its own en-suite shower room with walk-in shower, handbasin and WC. Two further well-proportioned double bedrooms are complemented by a spacious family bathroom, beautifully appointed with a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, handbasin and WC.

The self-contained guest suite on the lower ground floor is an especially valuable addition. Offering a double bedroom, bathroom, comfortable sitting room, and a fully equipped kitchenette, it provides ideal independent accommodation for guests, multi-generational living or potential income generation.

The beautifully maintained gardens and grounds have been thoughtfully designed to make the most of the outstanding setting. A variety of terraces, seating areas, and viewing points surround the property, providing numerous places from which to enjoy the remarkable views and peaceful surroundings. Whether for quiet relaxation or outdoor entertaining, the grounds provide an exceptional extension of the living space. A particular highlight is the heated outdoor swimming pool, surrounded by an attractive patio terrace and positioned to enjoy the natural beauty of the landscape. Further enhancing the setting are three ornamental freshwater spring-fed ponds, which create attractive focal points throughout the grounds, supporting local wildlife and adding to the sense of tranquillity and natural charm that defines this exceptional environment.

Lower Weeke also benefits from extensive parking and storage facilities. A large driveway with ample room for multiple cars and leads to a triple garage. Additional outbuildings, including substantial storage areas beneath the garage, offer excellent practical benefits. Partway up the sweeping driveway sits a substantial barn with a characterful mezzanine level and additional parking, presenting a range of potential uses. Beyond the formal gardens, the land gently rises to approximately six acres of paddock-style grounds, offering a high degree of privacy and a stunning rural backdrop.

Lower Weeke is, without doubt, a truly special home, combining an outstanding location, spectacular views, beautifully presented accommodation and extensive grounds to create a rare and highly desirable family home.

Dartmouth

The ancient town and deepwater port of Dartmouth is set in a picture book location, on the picturesque River Dart, with steep wooded hillsides on either side. Dartmouth's main Embankment is a promenade running the length of the town alongside the estuary. The town has a wide selection of bistros, restaurants, boutiques and specialist shops lining its narrow streets with their long flights of winding steps and intriguing medieval buildings. There is a strong and historic atmosphere and some its buildings are very old - The Cherub pub and Agincourt House are both 14th century buildings, the timber Butterwalk arcade dates from the 1630s and the Cobbled Bayards Cove has changed little since 1539. There are plenty of opportunities for sailing and fishing and the South Hams' lovely rolling countryside and excellent beaches are within immediate reach.
