This quintessential Devon thatched cottage, with its welcoming and fresh interior, is the perfect bolthole and location for couples and families to explore. There are many nearby beaches and coastal towns including the fishing village of Hope Cove, Salcombe with its beautiful estuary, Bantham or Bigbury for those seeking water sports thrills or South Milton Sands for a spot of sunbathing, all within 10 miles. This property is the oldest cottage in the idyllic village of Malborough, which conveniently has two village shops, two pubs and a playground with tennis courts. With a local bus line accessible at the end of the road, and numerous walking routes situated nearby, it’s easy to explore the South Hams.
Stepping into this delightful cottage, you’re welcomed into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area offering beautiful periodic beams, cobbed walls and a warming wood burner. You’ll find a Smart TV in the lounge area with comfortable seating arrangements, and beautiful artwork provides a contemporary feel whilst retaining the cottage’s period character. Moving into the kitchen/dining space, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen boasting a great space to cook up some locally sourced produce and there is a bar-style dining space for four with stools. To the rear of the cottage, you’ll find an access area to the back door and a utility area. There is also an external area for drying beach gear. Completing the ground floor is the family bathroom with a shower over the bath. Moving upstairs, you’ll find the two cosy bedrooms: The beds are made locally, the first is a twin room (which can be made into a super-king-size on request) with wardrobe space, and the second is a comfortable king-size.
Outside, situated just a short stroll from the back door and perched up a few steps, you’ll find a detached private patio garden. The sunny seating area provides a great space for some evening al fresco dining.
