Little Redlap – Grand Coastal Estate with Sea Views & Walled Gardens

Dartmouth - House

Set within the peaceful hamlet of Redlap, just moments from Dartmouth and the beaches of Start Bay, Little Redlap stands as one of South Devon’s most impressive coastal period homes. Designed in 1936 by renowned architect Sir John Hubert Worthington, the house has been thoughtfully modernised while preserving its character—most notably through a spectacular, architect-designed 700 sq ft open-plan kitchen and dining space with panoramic views across the gardens and the sea.

Facing south and flooded with natural light, Little Redlap offers an atmosphere of serenity and space, with over 5,000 sq ft of beautifully appointed accommodation. High ceilings, original features, and far-reaching views create a sense of grandeur throughout.
