About
Arch Cottage is a charming semi-detached period home, sympathetically restored and thoughtfully enhanced by the current owners to an exceptional standard.
Rich in character and beautifully balanced with refined contemporary styling, the property offers elegant and versatile accommodation in one of South Devon's most sought-after village settings.
Original features have been carefully preserved throughout, including exposed stonework, flagstone flooring, timber detailing and the magnificent original archway from which the cottage takes its name.
A charming cobbled courtyard creates an immediate sense of arrival and leads through to the enchanting rear gardens beyond.
Internally, the accommodation flows beautifully and has been designed to provide both warmth and practicality for modern living.
The reception spaces are particularly inviting, combining period charm with understated sophistication, whilst the kitchen and bathroom have been finished in a timeless contemporary style.

The cobbled courtyard and mature planting enhance the cottage's timeless appeal, while a useful covered car port with full-height timber gates provides additional storage.
