Summary - Starlings, Slapton TQ7 2PT
4 bed 3 bath Detached
High-spec family house on about an acre with sea views and extensive gardens.
Architect-designed four-bedroom detached house
Starlings is a bespoke, architect-designed four-bedroom detached home set in about an acre of mature, private gardens. Built to a high standard by a local master builder, the house features oak and aluminium double-glazed windows, oak flooring and a striking cantilevered steel staircase. Generous reception rooms include a large sitting room with wood-burning stove and French doors opening to terraces and lawns, plus a kitchen with pantry, utility/boot room and a separate study and dining room.
Energy-efficient systems are a clear strength: 16 solar panels with battery storage, mechanical heat recovery and underfloor heating deliver lower running costs and resilience, despite the property’s main fuel being oil. Two substantial storage rooms below the house offer workshop, gym or cinema potential, while the double garage includes power, water and an EV charging point and ample parking/turning space is provided on the driveway.
The gardens are a major asset — terraced patios, established borders, orchard and vegetable plots create varied outdoor rooms across roughly an acre. Elevated positions from the galleried landing give countryside and distant sea glimpses. The village offers local amenities, two pubs and good primary schools nearby; the house sits in a quiet hamlet with very low crime but is relatively remote, so car access is usually required.
Buyers should note some practical limitations: the property runs on an oil-fired boiler (not a community supply), broadband speeds are slow in this location, and council tax is described as very expensive. For those seeking a highly specified rural family home with strong energy upgrades and substantial outdoor space, Starlings represents a rare, ready-to-enjoy package with potential to adapt the lower rooms for additional uses.
