‘Damai & Santai’
Two Exquisite Georgian Apartments in the Heart of Totnes
DAMAI
Elegantly set within a handsome Georgian building in the centre of Totnes, Damai and Santai are a pair of beautifully renovated and interior-designed apartments, each offering an exceptional blend of heritage architecture and contemporary style
Thoughtfully created by a professional designer, every detail of the interiors has been carefully considered, with high-quality finishes throughout and furniture and fittings supplied by the renowned Society House of Buckfastleigh The result is a pair of homes that feel both luxurious and deeply personal a rare combination
The Apartments
Each apartment has been completely rebuilt from the ground up, with Damai (meaning Peace in Indonesian) occupying the first floor and Santai (Relax) on the top Both homes showcase clean, sophisticated interiors with subtle global influences, microcement bathrooms, and bespoke features that tell a story from antique carved doors to reclaimed timber accents.
Damai – 84 sqm, two double bedrooms, two bathrooms, and open-plan kitchen/living space
Santai – 78 sqm, similar layout, with exposed beams, a private terrace, and sunrise views
The fully fitted kitchens feature quartz worktops and top-spec AEG appliances, including a dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge freezer not AEG), wine fridge, oven and induction hob Electric blinds are fitted to the front windows, and every detail from the underfloor heating to the hotel-grade mattresses and 400-thread count linen reflects quality and comfort.
Character & Craftsmanship
Historic elements have been lovingly restored or sourced with care. The communal hallway is accessed via a 200-year-old door found in Jaipur, India, restored by artisans known to the owners for over a decade The lime-wash walls are punctuated with antique artefacts, including a Turkish olive jar and an Indian jhalil window frame, giving the space a grounded, soulful feel.
The staircase retains its original Georgian charm, with the upper section sympathetically recreated by a local carpenter Even the building’s indenture, dating to the reign of George I, hangs proudly near the entrance
Additional Features
Soundproofing between apartments (certification available)
Underfloor heating in bathrooms (Wi-Fi controlled)

Outdoor Space & Light
Santai enjoys a private terrace that captures the morning sun and holds it through to midday. Large sash windows in both apartments flood the spaces with natural light, and clever conservation-compliant window film has been installed to reduce UV exposure and improve insulation.
Location & Lifestyle
Tucked just off Leechwell Street, these apartments are remarkably peaceful despite their central location. The neighbouring courtyard, owned by the adjacent harp shop, includes a historic right of way (which has never been exercised), ensuring privacy is preserved.
