Enjoying a quiet rural setting between the sought-after villages of Strete and Blackawton, the property is surrounded by rolling countryside while remaining close to the stunning South Devon coastline.
Perfectly positioned for those who enjoy walking, sailing and exploring the coast, it lies within reach of the area's renowned beaches, including Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands.
Despite its peaceful setting, the cottage is conveniently located for a range of local amenities.
Strete offers a village shop with post office, a traditional pub and parish church, while nearby Blackawton provides a well-regarded primary school, community shop and village inn.
The historic riverside town of Dartmouth is just a short drive away, offering an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and galleries.
Totnes, with its mainline railway station and wider range of amenities, is also easily accessible, while the A38 provides convenient links to Exeter, Plymouth and beyond.
The entrance hall, accessed via a traditional stable door, provides a practical space for coats and boots and leads to a convenient ground-floor cloakroom.
Beyond lies the generous sitting and dining room, an inviting space centred around the feature fireplace, with ample room for both relaxing and entertaining.
A useful built-in storage cupboard further enhances the practicality of the room.
Double wooden doors open into the kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a range of wall and base units, tiled work surfaces and attractive quarry-tiled flooring.
Integrated cooking appliances are complemented by space for additional white goods, while a second stable door provides direct access to the pretty enclosed courtyard garden.
The first-floor landing benefits from a Velux roof window, creating a bright and airy feel.
The principal bedroom enjoys triple-aspect windows, fitted wardrobes and a charming window seat overlooking the surrounding countryside.
The second spacious double bedroom also features useful built-in storage, while the third bedroom offers a bespoke cabin bed with integrated storage beneath, making it ideal as a child's bedroom, guest room or home office.
The family bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath incorporating a shower over, wash hand basin and WC.
To the front of the property, a driveway provides off-road parking, together with a useful log store and additional external storage.
A gated entrance leads to the enclosed, stone-walled courtyard garden, creating a private outdoor space ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining.
Mature shrubs and established planting provide year-round colour while enhancing the sense of privacy.
