Lamacraft House, located on the Start Point peninsula in South Hams, is an iconic property 85 metres above sea level, at the end of a no-through road. It offers breathtaking sea views towards Start Bay and picturesque vistas of Devon hills. Adjacent to private woodlands, you’ll hear the sound of owls at night which add to its serene atmosphere. This private home, next to the non-working Lamacraft Farm, is in a small hamlet, offering a perfect retreat from everyday life.
Lamacraft House has recently undergone a full and extensive refurbishment and offers a taste of luxury and sophistication with everything you need for a wonderful relaxing holiday and a place to switch off from the world.
