The property

Chillington 2 miles.

Iris at Stancombe Manor is a delightful barn conversion set within the South Hams countryside in Sherford near Chillington, Devon.

Nestled within a historic estate and surrounded by rolling rural scenery, this welcoming retreat is ideal for families and friends looking to make the most of both coast and countryside, with access to an indoor swimming pool, snooker room, tennis court, games room, pitch and putt golf course and extensive shared grounds, there is plenty to enjoy between days exploring Devon's finest landscapes.

Arriving at the estate, pull into your allocated parking space and take a moment to soak in the setting.

The surrounding grounds create an immediate sense of escape, while the barn's characterful exterior blends beautifully with its countryside surroundings.

Head towards the entrance and step inside to discover the reverse-level layout, thoughtfully arranged to make the most of the views across the estate.

The open-plan living space welcomes you on the entrance level, providing a sociable setting for spending time together after a day of exploring.

Settle onto the seating with a morning coffee as plans are made for the day ahead, or gather around the dining table for leisurely breakfasts and evening meals.

The well-equipped kitchen makes preparing family favourites simple, with everything needed to cook, serve and linger over good food in good company.

Nearby, the first-floor double bedroom offers a relaxing spot to retire for the evening, complete with an en-suite bathroom where you can sink into a warm bath after coastal walks or countryside adventures.

Make your way downstairs to the ground floor, where two twin bedrooms provide inviting places to unwind at the end of the day.

Each room benefits from direct access to the rear enclosed courtyard, allowing guests to step outside with a fresh morning brew before the rest of the household stirs.

The family bathroom on this floor features both a bath and separate shower, offering flexibility whether you're freshening up before heading out or relaxing before bed.

A washing machine in the hallway adds convenience for longer stays and family holidays.

Outside, the private patio overlooks the tennis courts and children's play area, creating a lovely vantage point for taking in the surrounding landscape.

The courtyard offers another spot for alfresco dining, while beyond your doorstep the estate's shared facilities invite days spent swimming in the indoor heated pool, enjoying a game of tennis, challenging family members in the games room, snooker room or exploring the extensive grounds.

For everyday essentials, the shops, cafés and amenities of Kingsbridge are just a short drive away.

Venture into Dartmoor National Park and wander among dramatic granite tors, discover miles of walking trails crossing open moorland, and watch for native ponies grazing across vast landscapes that change with the seasons.

Along the coast, Salcombe tempts visitors with waterside cafés, sandy beaches and scenic boat trips, while its sailing heritage brings a lively atmosphere to the estuary.

Dartmouth is equally rewarding, where the historic castle overlooks the River Dart, the bustling harbour provides a wonderful setting for waterfront strolls, and independent shops line the charming streets.

For days beside the sea, Blackpool Sands offers a picturesque beach framed by pine trees, Slapton Sands combines natural beauty with fascinating wartime history, and Torcross Beach provides sweeping coastal views along the South Devon shoreline.

Whether you're making the most of the on-site leisure facilities, exploring the South Hams coast or setting off for adventures in Dartmoor National Park, Iris at Stancombe Manor provides a welcoming base for discovering this beautiful corner of Devon.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
