Description:

LUSCOMBE MAYE COUNTRY HOMES - Exquisitely created country house in a wonderful rural setting

SITUATION
Coombe is in a truly rural position, surrounded by farmland and woods, yet easily accessible from the A38 Expressway which links the M5 at Exeter to the South Hams. As is typical with traditional farmsteads, position was important and today this is reflected in Coombe's ideal south facing, sheltered position at the end of its drive, off a quiet country lane. The town of Modbury is about 3 miles away with a good range of shops, a bank, a chemist, a primary school and health centre. For more comprehensive shopping Kingsbridge is about 8 miles to the south and the city of Plymouth is about 15 miles to the west.
Communications to the area are good with access to the motorway network via the A38 dual carriageway linking with the M5 at Exeter. There are main line rail connections to London, the Midlands and the North from Totnes. Exeter Airport, just off the M5/A30 is a hub for Flybe and provides an expanding national and international service.
DESCRIPTION
Coombe was converted to create a very high specification country house, providing spacious and light accommodation ideal for luxury living/entertaining and creates a wonderful family home. The conversion was done about 5 years ago to a very high standard. The accommodation is laid out on a reverse level with most of the bedrooms on the ground floor and the living accommodation on the first floor making use of the superb views over a courtyard to the countryside beyond. The drive to the property leads to a parking area just to west of the house and also around to a gravel parking area at the rear, and round to the studios.
Quality materials throughout including -
Fired Earth tiles
Natural teak flooring from a renewable source
Farrow & Ball paint throughout
Bathroom suites by Bathstore.com
Handmade Italian kitchen
6 hob plus hotplate gas Smeg cooker with extractor hood
AV Concepts Sound System throughout
Cinema by AV Concepts with Netlinx Integrated 7.1 surround sound and controller and 6' x 4' screen
Heated indoor pool with jet stream

The house is positioned around an attractive courtyard with gravelled paths and raised lawns and sheltered by a stone wall. The conversion has used traditional stone under a new slate roof and retains the original dovecote within the walls as an interesting feature. Inside meticulous care has been taken with teak flooring throughout, with oak stairs, electronically controlled underfloor heating and each room has its own thermostatic controls.
