Portmile is a stunning development of only eight intriguing homes set within 2.5 acres of landscaped grounds, only one mile from Cockwood Harbour and the Exe estuary in South Devon. It is easily accessed via an attractive 20 minute drive from junction 30 of the M5 at Exeter, or by train from Starcross, and provides an excellent location from which to enjoy any number of amenities, all just a short distance away. Within 5 minutes travelling time are; estuary moorings, sailing, course & sea fishing, horse riding, forest walks, cycle tracks, gastro pubs, 9 hole golf, 2 miles of sand dunes, Powderham castle farm shop and nature reserves including the vast bird sanctuary at Dawlish Warren boasting circa 180 different species.
The contemporary holiday lodges offer uninterrupted country views and have been designed as a model example of sustainable development with features such as green oak weatherboard cladding, rainwater harvesting systems, sheep fleece insulation and solar electric or solar water heating options. They are also highly specified with Bosch kitchen appliances, oak plank floors, 100% wool carpets and hardwood window frames. Portmile was the first development of its kind in the UK. Whilst all of the available lodges are now sold, they are available for holiday bookings, from weekend breaks to two week vacations, at any time throughout the year. A number of the lodges are equipped with natural cedar hot tubs and log burning fires - perfect for a romantic getaway on a cold, dark, winter weekend or a lazy summer evening with family and friends watching the sun settle over the Haldon Forest.
The new homes on this development have now all been sold.
