EPC Band E Situation The sought-after coastal village of Strete lies within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is the gateway to one of the county's most spectacular stretches of coastline.

The South West Coast Path passes through the village, offering scenic walks towards Stoke Fleming and the award-winning beach at Blackpool Sands in one direction, and the beautiful three-mile expanse of Slapton Sands and Slapton Ley in the other.

The village benefits from a post office/general store, public house and parish church.

The historic waterside town of Dartmouth is just a short drive away, offering an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, cafés and galleries, while the medieval market town of Totnes provides a mainline railway station and a wider range of amenities.

The A38 Devon Expressway is approximately 16 miles away, providing convenient access to Exeter, Plymouth and beyond.

Description Architecturally designed to stand apart from the rest of the development, this individual detached home enjoys attractive sea views from the first-floor bedrooms and features a striking partially stone-clad façade.

Although the property would now benefit from some cosmetic updating, it offers tremendous potential for modernisation and reconfiguration.

Character features include exposed timber beams and an impressive feature chimney breast within the sitting room.

Subject to any necessary planning consents, there is scope to create a larger open-plan kitchen/dining space or incorporate the integral garage into the living accommodation.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden and secluded, sheltered south-facing terrace provide an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Accommodation A storm porch leads into a spacious entrance hall. To the front of the property is Bedroom Three, which could equally serve as a dining room or home office.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of wooden-fronted base units with work surfaces incorporating a sink and drainer overlooking the rear garden.

There is space for a dining table, an electric cooker, and a door providing direct access to the rear garden and terrace.

The impressive sitting room is a particular feature of the home, boasting a partially vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and a substantial chimney breast with stone mantel, hearth and surround.

Double doors open directly onto the south-facing terrace, creating an excellent connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Stairs rise to the first-floor landing, where a porthole window frames an attractive view towards the sea.

There are two generous double bedrooms, both featuring partially vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, built-in wardrobes and useful under-eaves storage.

The bathroom comprises a bath, wash hand basin and WC, with some restricted head height. A separate shower room with wash hand basin provides additional convenience.
