South Milton, Kingsbridge

Blackthorn House is a generously proportioned detached property spanning over 4,000 square foot with four bedrooms set in the ever popular village of South Milton. Occupying a private position with far reaching countryside views, Blackthorn House sits at the end of a quiet residential cul-de-sac flanked by fields and elevated to provide the outlook across the village and to the countryside beyond.

This property offers versatile and modern living throughout with spacious rooms and a plenty of natural light. A large corner living room with excellent views adjoins a separate dining room and conservatory which leads to a kitchen with pantry. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room and there are two more double bedrooms and a single bedroom or office with two further family bathrooms. Part of the property does lend itself to be used as an annexe which could provide supplementary accommodation for family or guests with its own kitchen and external access.

Blackthorn House has a large double garage, a workshop & two further rooms which could be used as a small gym, a study or as excellent storage. These are on the lower-ground floor and can be accessed via a central staircase. Externally there are mature and low-maintenance gardens surrounding the house with a secluded rear patio to enjoy al-fresco dining. To the front is a long driveway with parking for several vehicles.

This property offers exceptional dimensions and real versatility and is located in a sought-after and private location.

The small village of South Milton is a mile from the beautiful South Hams coastline and its many wonderful beaches and the South West Coast Path is within a short walking distance with lovely cliff-top walks. The iconic Thurlestone Rock is nearby and situated just off South Milton Sands, which is backed by sand dunes owned by the National Trust and has the well-regarded Beach House café, toilets and car park. The beach is a launching point for windsurfers, paddle-boarders and kayakers, and is great for snorkelling. Behind the beach is South Milton Ley, a nature reserve and one of three small wetlands near the village of South Milton. It is possible to walk from the house to the beach though the nature reserve.

The nearby village of Thurlestone has a primary school, village shop and post office, church, the Village Inn public house and the 4-star Thurlestone Hotel with its private health club facilities. An 18-hole golf course that runs along the coastline is within about a mile. Salcombe is roughly 3 miles away to the South, at the mouth of Kingsbridge Estuary with its beautiful unspoilt harbour, whilst the town of Kingsbridge is 3 miles North East with an excellent range of shops, cafés and restaurants, a health centre, cottage hospital, library, primary schools and the highly regarded Community College.
