Broadsands is an elegant, and beautifully presented coastal house, which overlooks the 18th hole at the famous links course at Thurlestone Golf Club. The house has been the subject of an extensive program of works and has been redesigned throughout and finished to the highest specification.

The impressive entrance hall with glazed atrium, opens to the reception hall, where a sweeping staircase rises to the first-floor and a galleried landing. The main reception room is artistically divided and provides a dining room with sliding doors to the terrace, and a living room with a log effect fire set within a beautiful surround, and wood panelling to one wall which conceals a remote-control door to the study.

The study is the prefect retreat from the house, through the secret door, and with bespoke office furniture and wall to wall glazed doors to the terrace. As with all the principal rooms, the views are simply exquisite and look across the gardens to the golf course and the sea beyond. The bespoke kitchen is beautifully appointed and fitted with a range of electrical appliances including a four-oven AGA with integrated companion module, American style fridge/freezer and dishwasher. A large bay window overlooks the garden and the coast, and this has been used as the focal point for the banquette seating and dining table, which complement the large island unit,
central to the kitchen.

A second sitting room is open plan to the kitchen, which has two walls of glazed doors, which when open, ensure the gardens and interior merge to become one. There is an additional kitchen and utility room which adjoins the kitchen to the rear and is fitted with a further range of integral appliances. There is a cinema room/TV snug on the ground floor, as well as a beautiful guest suite of bedroom, dressing room and shower room.

The first floor comprises a stunning principal suite of bedroom, with dressing room and outstanding bathroom, three further en suite bedrooms, and a walk-in closet off the landing. The views from this floor cannot be over
emphasised enough!

The grounds have been redesigned and landscaped, in such a way to ensure they complement the house perfectly. You may be forgiven for thinking you're holidaying in Barbados, whilst sitting on the terrace and enjoying he views across the lawn and golf course to the sea beyond. The gardens have been beautifully planted and already appear well-established with an abundance of plants and shrubs offering an array of colour. There is a large, thatched garden pavilion/dining room, with BBQ terrace, and a gate at the bottom of the garden leads directly to the golf course and beach. There is large, gated driveway, providing parking for several vehicles, and a double garage with adjoining workshop/plant room, boot room and cloakroom. There is space within the grounds to land a helicopter.

Broadsands is situated on The Yarmer Estate, a private estate in the village of Thurlestone. It is regarded as one of the finest and most sought-after locations in the South Hams, and rarely do houses adjoining the golf course ever come to the market. The village setting is a picture postcard, with chocolate box thatched cottages, a post office/village shop, a primary school, a great pub, and an award-winning hotel and spa.

Thurlestone is known for its spectacular links golf course and tennis club and is located on the Southwest Coast Path which leads directly to Bantham and Hope Cove. Several sandy beaches are within walking distance, including the National Trust beach at South Milton Sands, where you can al fresco dine at The Beach House, a wonderful seafood shack which is open all year round. Thurlestone Marsh, one of three small wetlands south of the village attracts an array of wildlife and again, offers some wonderful walks.

The nearby market town of Kingsbridge sits at the head of the Kingsbridge and Salcombe Estuary and offers a superb range of shops, deli's, pubs, and restaurants. The town's other amenities include a health centre, a leisure centre with indoor swimming pool, a cinema, and the highly regarded secondary school, Kingsbridge Academy (KCC). The major market town of Totnes (16 miles) offers a regular main line train service to London in 2 hrs 40 mins.
