With its iconic yellow front door setting the tone for this fabulous luxury holiday home, Smurf House is the ultimate in interior design heaven.
Entering into the hallway, there are views through to the luscious garden, a curvaceous staircase calling you upstairs and to the left a beautifully wooden clad zone. This includes a snug for the kids to hide away and watch television, a very clever concealed utility room featuring a Miele washer and dryer combo.
Most importantly, the ground floor has a dedicated guest room (which can be set-up as either two singles or a super king) and en-suite for wheelchair users, or those less mobile. The en-suite shower room with beautiful deep green tiling has a dedicated built in heated seating in the shower, with brass grab & hinge rails. The whole of the ground floor of the house is wheel chair accessible friendly with no stairs or steps into the house or out into the garden.
There is a second ground floor shower room with gorgeous blue and star tiling.
The open plan kitchen, dining and living room which lead out to the garden are an absolute dream. The incredibly well-equipped kitchen will keep the chefs happy, and the split level island is perfect for wheelchair users to pull up to the action. Double dishwasher action means no-one should be stitched up with the washing up.
The dining area and living spaces each have beautifully custom made seating, and a wood burner in the living room means you can warm those toes on cooler days. One of our favourite spots is the dedicated gin bar; I mean what's not to love?!
Climbing the stunning spiral staircase with gold leaf embellishments brings you to the first floor there are three king size bedrooms, two with en suite bath or shower rooms, and a double bunk room. Two of the king bedrooms have doors opening out onto a gorgeous decking area.
The double bunks (sleeping up to 4 children in full size singles) are another bespoke build adorned with Pooky lighting, and give children a wonderful place to enjoy their holidays on a mini adventure with friends, sibling or cousins.
Outside is set-up for fabulous al fresco living. Fire up the Rockbox pizza oven, or barbecue and enjoy being outside chatting with friends and family with a drink in hand. The 6 person hot tub is so much fun for the family, or provides a sanctuary for grown-ups to soothe away any aches or pains. At the bottom of the garden is yet another fab feature - the summer house with games room and TV for the kids to hangout.
Smurf House sits centrally within Malborough, equidistant between Hope Cove and Salcombe. Kingsbridge is only a few miles drive and provides a wider choice for supplies.
