Property code: OC-HAWKSC
Nestled in the quaint fishing village of Shaldon, close to the English Riviera, this delightful three-storey house is perfect for large groups of family or friends. Quieter than other South Devon towns and villages, Shaldon has a lovely range of independent shops and eateries, as well as its own zoo. You’re only a few hundred metres from the beaches, including Ness Cove Beach, which is accessed via a secret smuggler’s tunnel. You can also catch a small ferry across to bustling Teignmouth (1.5 miles) with its variety of activities, including water sports. Keen walkers can join the South West Coast Path that runs through the village, or you can venture further afield to Paignton Zoo or Torquay (within 13 miles).
Cool tones make this home feel bright and airy, with plenty of space for everyone to relax comfortably. Despite being a period property, it’s contemporary and stylish throughout, with all the mod-cons. On entering, you can discard shoes and coats in the hallway before exploring the rest of the ground floor. Firstly, you’ll find the lounge with its comfy sofas, armchairs, and a wood burner for extra warmth on cold evenings. To the rear of the property is the extended kitchen/diner with large windows and skylights that create a bright space for cooking and dining. The kitchen has everything you’ll need to cook up a hearty meal and there’s plenty of space for everyone around the table, whether you’re eating, playing games or planning the next day’s adventure. The addition of a utility room is handy for washing off any sandy clothes or water sports gear. On the first floor, there are three stylish and spacious bedrooms, all with TV/DVDs, and a family bathroom with a stunning free-standing roll-top bath and separate shower. Heading up the final staircase, you’ll come to the master suite – an oasis of calm at any time of day. It also has an en-suite with a roll-top bath for relaxing soaks.
Double doors from the kitchen/diner lead out to the lovely courtyard, which provides an extra space to relax in and somewhere to enjoy a spot of al fresco dining. You’re also a short stroll from the village green and Shaldon’s Beach.
