2 5 3

What a breathtaking place to live and call your own!
Literally 'swooping' away from its former days as a frayed, agricultural building, The Swoop's attached residential conversion now offers immense stature and presence with spacious and highly flexible, single storey accommodation.

Description - The true showstopper to this home is the incredibly impressive open-plan living space.

Boasting an amazing triple aspect with two sets of bi-folding doors to the south-facing gardens beyond, this room is brimming with natural light bouncing off its soft terracotta palette. Rich bursts of peacock blue in the expertly appointed kitchen enhance the mediterranean feel and contrast with the vibrant Quartz surfaces.
Stylishly defined by an expansive, working island, this beautiful space is ideal for embracing your inner chef or simply sharing a glass with a friend and putting the world to rights.

Clever positioning of furniture brings structure to the dining and seating areas where there is ample space for a large dining table and oversized settees.

Natural light streams through skylights and illuminates the linear passageway that connects you to 5 immaculate double bedrooms.
Of special note is the most grand, principal suite that showcases enough space for a sofa, plentiful furniture as well as a separate dressing room. The luxurious ensuite shower room completes the boutique ambience of this splendid room.

At the end of the passageway, the current owners have created a tremendous space purely focussed on family, combining reading, playtime and movies all in one room; a great escape and retreat from the hustle and bustle of the day and a versatile place to enjoy time together.

From the entrance foyer, a superb utility room is neatly tucked away, keeping those daily chores out of sight. Two further, utterly lavish bath/shower rooms complete the accommodation.

Outside, a sweeping driveway welcomes you to this spectacular setting with emphasis on its privacy and seclusion.

Stunning views can be taken in from all rooms, but they are most exaggerated from the open-plan living bi-fold doors where the full extent of your surrounding rural landscape, pastureland, furrowed fields and far-reaching valley views can be absorbed; the current owners also report that they regularly spot a visiting deer or two whilst enjoying an alfresco meal or taking the days strains away in the hot-tub.

An enclosed paddock unfolding in front of you, further unlocks wistful images of The Darling Buds of May making it a fantastic spot to take a breather, create a little slice of 'The Good Life' or for children to play truly 'free-range'. From a hazy, autumnal morning with views across the neighbouring fields, to a warm, spring afternoon watching the wildlife wake-up, there is an undeniable feast for the senses here.

There is a substantial amount of space on the driveway, that the current owners have had plans drawn up for a triple garage - subject to relevant consents and the agents have imagery to support their thinking.

Christopher's South Hams are proud to market this exceptional and unique home that exudes quality presentation and is a masterclass in design. Viewings are strongly recommended.
