Description

Kaywana Hall | Modernist House

Nestled within a pristine 12-acre woodland, this exceptional property holds a distinctive pedigree as one of Devon's renowned butterfly houses, originally constructed in 1962. Imbued with historical significance, the residence underwent an extensive reconstruction in 2009, meticulously adhering to the original architectural style and footprint. Additional enhancements, including supplementary buildings and a contemporary pool house, were seamlessly integrated, culminating in the property's final configuration in 2021.

The centrepiece of this estate is an exquisite heated swimming pool, creating an idyllic focal point during the summer season. ( please note the pool is not heated or available from October to March, In April it may be available but will not be heated. Please check with us.) The main house boasts an open-plan design, encompassing a lounge, dining area, study, and kitchen—all strategically positioned on different levels. The kitchen is comprehensively equipped to meet the expectations of discerning guests.

Distinguishing this residence further are four detached bedrooms, each offering king or super king beds, and one featuring a versatile zip and link twin arrangement. These accommodations feature tea and coffee amenities, smart TVs, external decking, and private entrances. The bathrooms are thoughtfully designed, incorporating both bath and separate shower facilities.

Adding to the allure is the newly constructed pool house, which encompasses a fully equipped kitchen, dining and lounge areas, as well as conveniences such as toilets and showers—creating an ideal retreat for sun-soaked days by the pool.

The kitchen cupboards are stocked with various dry goods for guest use, and the bathrooms are replete with essential toiletries. To further elevate the experience, local chefs are available for personalised culinary experiences, complemented by professional staff offering seamless service and a host of optional extras.

KAYWANA is fabulous

If you get a chance to stay here my advice is to book it. Our group loved sitting in the main glass sided sitting room listening to the trees. The pool can be heated and that encouraged everyone to swim multiple times a day, when not heading down to the beach or to the village. It was totally relaxing. The bedrooms are gorgeous and of generous and equal size, with TV's, tea and coffee stations, comfortable beds with quality linens and wonderful decor. The paintings throughout are fabulous and the attention to detail is second to none. The home is also a B & B so if you are in the area and not in a large group, do see if you can book in.”

A gem!

Kaywanna Hall is an extraordinary, beautiful, modernist house set in many acres of woods and fields, yet so screened by trees it feels like miles from anywhere. It was perfect for our multi--generational family. It is a short walk and ferry ride from Dartmouth with some wonderful restaurants and a glorious harbor front and old town, but weary travelers can delight in Kaywanna Hall's swimming pool and kitchen and common rooms. Each of the four bedrooms is distinct , different and set apart from the others. The host and staff could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Kymanna Hall is a gem.”
