Welcome

Set within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, in the friendly community of Stoke Gabriel in Devon’s South Hams, Dominoes is an architecturally stunning holiday home. Dominoes was built in 1962 and was fully refurbished in 2017 with respect for its original ‘modernist’ integrity.  Dominoes is a reverse level home that has retained its original pine ceilings and feature bare brick walls, and south facing wall of glass.  It has accessibility, comfort and ease of use considered within the refurbishment design.

Dominoes is a detached reverse level two storey house, with a car port and parking for up to 3 cars, plus patios and garden.
