East Prawle, Kingsbridge, TQ7 2BX

This former Coastguard Cottages is one of a charming terrace of 10 Coastguard cottages believed to date back to the late 19th century, occupying what is undoubtedly one of the most breathtaking coastal positions in South Devon.

Located at Prawle Point — the southernmost point in Devon — the property enjoys uninterrupted panoramic sea views stretching across the dramatic coastline and out towards the horizon, where on clear days even French mobile signal can occasionally be found.

Beautifully presented throughout, this much-loved coastal home combines timeless character with light-filled interiors and exceptional coastal scenery.

A wonderful permanent home, an idyllic second residence or an income-generating holiday let, this is a property that offers a truly remarkable lifestyle by the sea.

The House Approached via a pretty private courtyard, the attractive red brick cottage immediately exudes warmth and charm.

The sheltered courtyard entrance is wonderfully inviting, framed with potted plants and a charming sitting area that perfectly reflect the relaxed coastal atmosphere of the home.

Stepping inside, the cottage feels immediately light, bright and exceptionally well cared for.

The kitchen sits to the rear of the property and is beautifully maintained with a crisp white finish complemented by pale green metro tiles and pretty sash windows overlooking the courtyard.

Thoughtfully designed for practical everyday living, it provides a wonderfully calm and welcoming space.

The true heart of the home is the magnificent open-plan sitting and dining room — a substantial space created by opening two original rooms into one.

Elegant architectural arches remain, subtly defining the areas while preserving the cottage’s character.

The room is flooded with natural light and your eye is instantly drawn towards the spectacular sea views framed by large south-facing windows and the centrally positioned glazed door opening onto the garden.

The sitting area centres around a charming wood-burning stove, creating a cosy focal point for cooler evenings, while built-in bookshelves, whitewashed storage cupboards and an original built-in dresser add warmth and personality.

The room perfectly balances relaxed coastal living with timeless cottage character. There is also a useful understairs storage cupboard together with a separate downstairs cloakroom.

An original pine staircase rises to the first floor where the sense of space and light continues.

The principal bedroom enjoys magnificent south-facing sea views across the garden and coastline beyond and features a beautiful original cast iron fireplace with mantle surround.

An ensuite bathroom serves this room, finished in a clean classic white style.

Also on the first floor is a large double-door storage cupboard on the landing, a delightful bunk room overlooking the rear courtyard and a further double bedroom positioned at the back of the house with a pitched ceiling and a circular porthole-style feature window set high within the gable.

This room is currently arranged with twin beds. There is also a separate shower room.

The accommodation continues into the converted attic room, now forming a beautiful additional bedroom suite with vaulted ceilings and Velux windows facing both north and south.

From here, the elevated views across the sea and coastline are simply extraordinary. This room also benefits from an ensuite wet room, creating a wonderfully private guest retreat.

Throughout the property, high ceilings, large windows and carefully preserved original details create a wonderful feeling of light and space.

The cottage has been exceptionally well maintained and has also successfully operated as a holiday let, offering flexibility for those seeking either a lifestyle home, second residence or additional income opportunity.

The Outside Outside, the property continues to impress.

To the rear, the private courtyard garden is beautifully sheltered and wonderfully pretty, complete with potted plants and seating areas creating a peaceful space to relax after a day by the sea.

A highly useful outhouse provides excellent additional storage and is currently utilised for over flow fridge freezer space but is ideal for storing all the practical necessities associated with coastal living, from paddleboards and boating equipment to wetsuits and beach gear.

To the south-facing front of the cottage, the terraced garden has been thoughtfully designed to maximise the breathtaking outlook, with patio areas perfectly positioned for outdoor dining while taking in the spectacular coastal scenery.

Quite simply, the views here are exceptional — dramatic, ever-changing and utterly captivating throughout the seasons.

Beyond the garden lies open land owned by the village and protected from future development, preserving the remarkable outlook for years to come.

A pathway leads through the field towards the cliff edge and down to beautiful natural swimming areas nestled within the coastline below.

Combined with direct access to the South West Coast Path, the lifestyle on offer here is truly idyllic — morning coastal walks, sea swims and evenings spent watching the changing light across the water.

The property also benefits from allocated parking together with guest parking.
