Overview
A former reservoir, Woolbrook Reservoir hides itself beautifully at the top of a quiet lane in a pretty Devonshire suburb, its smart bricked drive concealing something truly fantastic. This is a celebration home like none other; uniquely designed and jaw-droppingly beautiful, where luxury and playfulness combine into one superbly spacious package.
With a smattering of Alice in Wonderland, its long storm-blue entrance hall and series of doors is all mystery and drama, but unlike the heroine in the story, you won’t need to drink a potion to discover what lies beyond. Simply pull back the handle and step straight into the magic, where an incredible interior framed in sky-high glass wraps itself around a stop-you-in-your-tracks light-filled atrium. Here you’ll find a space filled with beauty both natural and man-made, where the sun’s rays can be soaked up from morning until well into the evening. There are nooks to steal away to if you like time on your own including a weight-training room/gym, and sprawling spaces to converge in for time together like an enormous high spec kitchen/diner, games room and barbecue area.
On the ground floor, three sets of French doors can be thrown open to make the entertaining space bigger, while at roof top level an established garden has lawns to laze on, paths to explore, and a sweep of decking with its own bar and wood-fired hot tub. Practically speaking every ‘t’ has been crossed and every ‘i’ dotted with a host of amenities and entertainment features provided to keep kids (and grown-ups) busy while lunch sizzles away on the fire. And when the weather doesn’t play ball, the fun won’t need to stop with a table tennis table as well as a huge outdoor lounge suite to sit under cover overlooking the atrium.
Positioned to offer not only privacy but also some of the best views in the area, this wonderful home, though secluded, is less than a mile and a half from the Regency town of Sidmouth so it’s perfectly located for exploring East Devon’s Jurassic coastline. Pop into town for a bite to eat or pack a picnic and head to the beach for a day of sunbathing or SUP-ping. For avid walkers there are river walks to enjoy as well as the South West Coast Path whose various routes showcase dramatic views of the area’s iconic red cliffs and bay.
*Woolbrook Reservoir caters beautifully to families with young children in tow. A range of baby and toddler-friendly items are provided that include two travel cots, two stair-gates, a high chair, two potties, two toilet training seats, two step-up toddler stools, and a selection of baby plates and cutlery

Our stay at Woolbrook Reservoir was honestly incredible, especially since the conversion from an old reservoir into such a massive, modern home is so unique. We had 14 of us there, but the open-plan layout and the central glass atrium made the whole place feel huge and full of light. Most of our time was spent between the games room and the amazing rooftop garden, which has a hot tub and views that are hard to beat. Being just a short walk from the Sidmouth seafront made it the perfect base for the weekend, and Id go back in a heartbeat.

Thank you for your lovely review. We are delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your stay at Woolbrook Reservoir it really is a one of a kind space, and its wonderful to know the unique conversion made such an impression. Its great to hear the house worked so well for your group of 14, and that the open plan design and central glass atrium helped everything feel bright, spacious and welcoming. We are so pleased you made the most of both the games room and the rooftop garden the hot tub and those views are definitely something special. Being just a short walk from Sidmouth seafront is definitely a bonus, so were really pleased it made the weekend even better for you. It means a lot that youd return in a heartbeat. Wed be delighted to welcome you back for another memorable stay.
