The Moorings Overview
Set high above the tranquil waters of the Kingsbridge Estuary, The Moorings is a peaceful coastal sanctuary where sweeping views and contemporary design come together to create a truly relaxing escape.
At the heart of the home is a light-filled open-plan kitchen, living and dining space, designed for both entertaining and unwinding. Expansive windows frame the ever-changing estuary views, while doors open onto the terrace, allowing indoor and outdoor living to flow effortlessly together. The kitchen is sleek and well-equipped, with everything needed for anything from slow breakfasts to celebratory dinners, while the large dining table offers a wonderful setting for gathering together with views stretching across the water.
The adjoining lounge is warm and inviting, with deep, comfortable sofas and a wood burner for cooler evenings. Whether you’re reading, watching a film or simply taking in the view, this space encourages you to slow down and settle into the rhythm of coastal life.
Downstairs, the bedrooms provide calm and restful spaces, each individually styled with soft linens and gentle coastal tones. One bedroom opens directly onto the terrace, just steps from the hot tub, creating a private retreat within the home.
The master suite is particularly special, offering a spacious and serene setting with a super king-size bed and beautiful estuary views. A cosy reading corner provides the perfect place to unwind, while the en suite bathroom features a walk-in rainfall shower, ideal for refreshing after a day outdoors.
Outside, The Moorings offers three thoughtfully designed terraces, each positioned to make the most of the setting. The main dining terrace sits just off the living space, with a large table and barbecue for relaxed alfresco meals overlooking the water. A more secluded terrace with outdoor sofas provides a peaceful spot for evening drinks and sunset views, while the hot tub terrace invites you to unwind and soak in the surroundings as the estuary shifts with the light.
The gardens and outdoor spaces create a wonderful sense of privacy, while still being within easy reach of nearby villages, beaches and coastal walks. Whether you’re exploring the South Devon coastline, dining on local seafood or simply enjoying the view from the terrace, The Moorings offers a perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility.
