Set in a fishing village along Devon’s rugged coastline, the house has uninterrupted sea views and is surrounded by breath-taking scenery and a rich maritime heritage. It is right on the seafront overlooking Start Bay and the lighthouse. Guests can enjoy access to the beach from nearby steps in the village, explore hidden coves, and cliff top walks. The house is situated on the water’s edge in a secluded location nestled below the cliff top of the south western coastal path and in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The local pub and takeaway café/restaurant offer authentic local flavours just a short walk away. Unwind on the beaches or visit nearby historical landmarks. The calm beauty of the area makes it ideal for painting, photography, or simply enjoying the fresh sea air.
You can walk from the house along the cliff top to Hallsands, the fishing village that fell into the sea in 1917. You can then continue along the cliff path to Start Point Lighthouse which is open to the public in the summer months.
Nearby are the beaches at Torcross, Slapton Sands and Slapton Ley and the field centre. Visit the restored American Sherman Tank which sank during Exercise Tiger and was recovered in 1984.
The picturesque market town of Kingsbridge is approximately 7 miles. It is known for its charming historic buildings, narrow streets and stunning countryside and good restaurants. The town’s market tradition continues today with independent retailers selling local produce. It also has antique shops and art galleries to explore.
Why Choose To Stay Here?
With its rich history, stunning coastal location, and thoughtful amenities, this 200-year-old elegant house stands out as a perfect choice for an Devon ocean retreat. The combination of authentic charm and modern convenience ensures every moment of your stay is as enjoyable as possible.
