MARINERS

Mariners is an exquisite and stylish family home set in just under half an acre, with uninterrupted and breathtaking views looking down the Salcombe Estuary, across to East Portlemouth and out to sea. The attention to detail is apparent both inside and outside the property, with the clever use of voids and interior design, the property uses an extravagance of space to create a light and airy atmosphere. After extensive renovation and refurbishment, Mariners aptly won the Arnold Sayers Housing Design Award 2002 in the Single House Category.

All the bedrooms, reception rooms, balconies and terraces share the superb southerly view. The accommodation extends to well over 4,000 square feet and has further extensive external floor space consisting of balconies, decking and terraces.

Internally, Mariners has been finished to the very highest standard. Primary materials have been tastefully limited to oak and limestone to create a harmonious interior feel. All wooden framed windows are double glazed. The wooden floors are Junkers solid oak and the bespoke design oak doors together with the bespoke carpentry continues a designed theme throughout the house. There is underfloor heating in the majority of the house. A sophisticated lighting system and surround sound system have been installed throughout the property. The kitchen is luxuriously equipped including a gas-fired Aga and module.

ENTRANCE HALL

Portland stone graces the bespoke front door which opens into a large entrance hall with limestone floor leading up to the oak spiral staircase to the living accommodation with a charming Juliet balcony overlooking the staircase from the kitchen.

LIVING ACCOMMODATION

The kitchen/family room/dining room areas are open plan and have access to balconies and decking areas through beautifully designed French doors. The drawing room has an open fireplace and its French windows are enhanced by the shelter of a stylish, skillfully hand-leaded verandah.

To the front of all this accommodation is an expansive area of top class decking from which one can enjoy the stunning views over the Salcombe Estuary and out to sea.

The cloakroom and utility rooms are exceptionally large and the utility is suitably equipped with additional lifestyle equipment and plentiful storage. The utility area has drying areas leading from both inside and the outside hot shower area, perfect for rinsing off after a day on the water/beach.

BEDROOMS

The master bedroom is in a class of its own, with vaulted ceilings and exposed oak beams. A full height gable end window with central French doors and New England shutters open to a personal balcony. The panoramic views from this bedroom and balcony are exceptional. En-suite limestone bathroom with jacuzzi bath, steam room, twin washbasins with a wall to wall mirror clearly reflecting the superb view. This room is complimented with extensive fitted Treyone cupboards and a separate large dressing room.

The remaining three of the four bedrooms each share the panoramic view, two of these bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and the third has a bathroom of its own. The fifth bedroom/study also has en-suite facilities.

GARAGE

The large tandem garage extends back the length of the house giving enough space for four cars. It could be incorporated into the main house and used as further living accommodation.
