This harbourside house has won awards for its breathtaking appearance - and now it could be yours.
Inverdart Boathouse, in Kingswear, sits on the River Dart and has been built with stone quarried from the site.
The house has won several awards, including Overall Winner and Best Traditional Home in ‘Homebuilding and Renovation’ 2013 and was featured on the magazine’s cover.
The property, which has a specialist harbour wall for protection, includes the foreshore, meaning that the house benefits from a private beach when the tide is low.
The house has four floors, and has been designed around the view and the water, with various fittings reclaimed from shipbreaking yards.
On the ground floor is a Roman-style swimming pool, surrounded by pillars hand-made by de Lank Quarry, Cornwall, builders of the London Bridge.
Upstairs, the first floor features a kitchen and a sitting room with doors leading out to a sun terrace overlooking the pool.
On the second floor are two bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms, and a library, while the third floor consists of a study/media room and a further sun terrace.
The property is being marketed by Savills, who have it listed at a price of £5,000,000.
Sarah-Jane Bingham-Chick, head of Savills Exeter and South Hams, commented: “Frankly in all of my career I have never seen anything quite like Inverdart Boathouse, it really is quite magical.
“This very special home was clearly a labour of love for the owners, who were brave enough to undertake such an extraordinary project where they employed the finest materials, unprecedented structural engineering and unparalleled craftsmanship to create the most iconic of waterside homes.
“But in addition, the house is fitted out in the latest technology to ensure that whoever is lucky enough to be home’s next custodian, can live in 21st century comfort. Inverdart is a real one off, and I am sure that we will receive interest from all over from those who want to live in one of the best homes on the coast of the South West.”
