A contemporary designed property with commanding River Dart views has gone on the market, with offers sought in the region of £4m.

Lamper Head is set in a simply wonderful, elevated location between Dittisham and Cornworthy and commands wonderful views over the River Dart and to the moors.

The house was first designed and constructed in 1991 by architect Roderick James and Carpenter Oak Buildings, both of Grand Designs fame.

Lamper Head has subsequently been extended in the same style by the current owner to include additional accommodation and a swimming pool and a barn house minimalism feel has been created throughout.

The mixture of stone, oak frame and extensive glazed panelling creates a home that has a feel of calm and tranquility.

This is enhanced by its private and sheltered position sitting in gardens, grounds and woodland extending to approximately 15 acres on slopes facing the River Dart.

In addition to the main residence of six bedrooms and swimming pool, there is also an ancillary guest lodge/annexe within a further oak framed building, currently arranged as an artist's studio with kitchen on the ground floor and bedroom/office on the upper floor.

This combination of location and design has created a unique opportunity to purchase an exciting, contemporary property set within a classically rural location offering light, space and views.

Dittisham is a quintessential Devon village, with charming cottages lining the narrow streets.

It boasts a strong community with a beautiful Church, two Inns, a sailing club and a Post Office and is one of the most sought after villages in the South Hams.

The village lies approximately six miles from the historic town of Dartmouth, home to the Britannia Royal Naval College and a bustling market town, famous as a sailing centre.

Cornworthy also has a strong community centred around the church, village hall activities and the Hunter's Lodge public house and restaurant.

Everyday shopping is available close by in either Totnes or Dartmouth.

Cornworthy is in an area of outstanding natural beauty and there is easy access, via Totnes, to the A38 Devon Expressway, Plymouth, Exeter and the M5. Totnes is on the main line railway for London and the North.

Offers in the region of £4m are being sought and to book a viewing contact Marchand Petit at Dartmouth on 01803 839190.
