5 Bedroom Semi-Detached House for sale in Wembury Point

2 5 5

Situated with a commanding view of the open sea, surrounding shoreline, and the iconic Great Mewstone, Telhaven is a striking example of contemporary coastal architecture. Completed in 2011 to a bespoke design by acclaimed Devon architect Stan Bolt, the house occupies one of the most privileged waterside locations in the South-West. Effortlessly connected to its environment, it is designed to frame the shifting horizon at every opportunity.

A contemporary pond and water feature flank the imposing front door which opens into a light-filled reception hall, with the polished concrete floors setting the tone for the rest of the home. The main living spaces are arranged on the central floor. The large kitchen and dining area showcases the exceptional design of this property, featuring two walls of sliding glass doors spanning a 90-degree angle, thoughtfully engineered without a central pillar so nothing interrupts the enjoyment of the exceptional view. When open, the transition between inside and out is effortless, allowing the living space to extend naturally into its coastal surroundings, creating an outdoor area ideal for entertaining, gathering, or simply pausing to take in the view. A generous terrace offers elevated sea views, shaded by a remote controlled electric awning. The comprehensively fitted kitchen features high quality appliances, including two ovens plus a microwave and steam oven, built in fridge and freezer, and two dishwashers. It also has two sinks, instant hot water tap and waste disposal, hidden extractor fan and concealed 42" TV. A Sonos music system extends from here through much of the house, and the terrace.

A separate sitting room, with built in contemporary wood stove, offers a more intimate space, as does the study. A cloakroom and plant room provide useful functionality without disrupting the home's architectural rhythm. Air conditioning is installed in the principal rooms.

The top floor is dedicated entirely to the principal suite, a private sanctuary with far-reaching views, a beautifully appointed en suite, and a walk-in dressing area. On the ground floor, four additional bedrooms, three with en suites, all open onto the gardens, with full-height windows drawing in light and anchoring the house to its coastal setting. A sophisticated TV viewing room, simple gymnasium, utility room, family bathroom and storage cupboard complete the accommodation, offering a quiet and versatile layer of space below the main living areas.

Telhaven was designed with long-term energy performance in mind. The house is also fitted with Cat 6 wiring and low energy lighting throughout, with high-speed broadband available, a considered, future ready approach to modern living. Equipment for the Mesh Wi-Fi system, Sonos and TV signal distribution is housed in a media cupboard off the hall. An air source heat pump is supported by solar panels supplying the heating and hot water.

The landscaped gardens reflect the simplicity and structure of the house itself, elegantly restrained, coastal in spirit, and low maintenance by design featuring a robot lawn mower. Tiered terraces and carefully placed planting offer a variety of outdoor spaces to enjoy, all set against the ever-present backdrop of sea and sky. A large integral double garage provides secure parking and ease of access, with ample additional parking behind the electric gate on the private drive which has an EV charging point.

Telhaven sits just beyond the village of Wembury, on Wembury Point, a captivating headland on the South Devon coast offering panoramic views of Wembury Bay, Plymouth Sound, and the iconic Great Mewstone. Now managed by the National Trust, the area is a thriving natural habitat adorned with wildflowers, roaming wild ponies, and a haven for birdwatchers. Accessible via the South West Coast Path, Wembury Point is a serene spot for walking and enjoying the coastal beauty of South Devon.

Offering a rare sense of seclusion, Telhaven remains within easy reach of excellent transport links and shopping facilities, six miles to Plymouth, with quick access to the A38 for Exeter, the M5, and beyond. Plymouth Railway Station provides a vital and efficient link to London Paddington with regular direct services typically taking around three to four hours. This connection makes the city exceptionally accessible for those balancing coastal living with city commitments.
