Tucked away in the heart of the South Devon countryside, this stone-built cottage in Bickerton is a wonderful base for a romantic getaway within a stone's throw of the beach and the South West Coast Path, and so perfectly located for those who like to walk from a peaceful countryside location. The charming villages of Beesands, South Pool and Chillington (all within 4 miles) offer welcoming pubs for a hearty meal after a day of exploring. For those who prefer to travel on foot, Beesands is 1 mile along the coastal path. Stokenham (3 miles) boasts a farm shop and cafe, where you can stock up on groceries and locally brewed beer and cider. Further along the coast, Dartmouth’s historic streets (12 miles) and independent galleries are a delight, while the picturesque town of Salcombe (13 miles) is easily reached by road or foot ferry (please check service times online) from East Portlemouth (7.5 miles). For beach lovers, Bantham (20 miles), Thurlestone (13 miles), and Slapton Sands (3.5 miles) boast golden shores and spectacular coastal views. And for those craving a change of scenery, Dartmoor National Park’s wild beauty begins 25 miles from home.
Step inside this welcoming cottage from the lane and into a warm and inviting open-plan living space that feels light and airy, thanks to whitewashed walls and ceilings. With underfloor heating and a central wood burner, the lounge area is the perfect place to unwind on the two comfortable sofas arranged around the smart TV and fireplace. Gather at the dining table for hearty meals or a fun-filled games night, while the well-equipped kitchen at the rear provides plenty of space to cook delicious local produce. Up the curved staircase, you’ll find a beautiful bunk bedroom, as well as a spacious king-size master bedroom. The gleaming family bathroom completes the internal layout.
A door from the bunk bedroom leads to an elevated decked terrace, where you can sip your morning coffee while taking in the stunning sea views. Private parking for one vehicle is available 40 metres from the property, allowing you to come and go from this fantastic coastal retreat with ease.
