Woolbrook Reservoir definitely captured our attention. Initially wondering what it was, it turns out it’s a converted former Devon reservoir, now a six-bedroom home available for booking through Luxury Coastal for an extraordinary holiday experience.
The ground floor hosts an expansive open-plan reception bursting with natural light.
Located down a tranquil lane in Sidmouth, this property is largely underground with a grass-covered roof. The rooms, which surround a central courtyard, boast floor-to-ceiling windows, injecting abundant light into the home with its originally subterranean design
The central courtyard makes for an excellent entertaining space.
The building, decommissioned in 2003 and transformed into a residential property in 2010 by a civil engineer, was later acquired by Mark and Carline Laurenti who upgraded it into their dream home. As the couple are now traveling, this 7,500sq ft property is up for holiday rental for those seeking an unusual retreat.
A twist on pool with footballs, and two more classic pool tables are also available.
Woolbrook is replete with amenities: It has six bedrooms (most are double-height), a large kitchen/dining/reception area, a games room, a gym, and five bathrooms.
The master suite showcases the luxury living experience.
External features include an outdoor bar, barbecue, hot tub, multiple entertainment zones, and an inviting garden area—perfect for enjoying a British summer with friends.
