About
Surrounded by countryside and within close proximity to South Devon's most attractive sandy beaches, this is an exceptionally characterful and pretty Grade II Listed cottage in a hamlet which is just a few miles from the Georgian town of Modbury, and not far from Salcombe.
Situation Bigbury is a charming village located 1.5 miles inland in the South Hams area of South Devon.
The beautiful parish church of St Lawrence was extensively rebuilt in 1872 but parts are believed to date back to the 14th century.
Local amenities include the popular Oyster Shack known for its exquisite local produce.
At St Ann's Chapel you will find Holywell Stores & Post Office which is open 7 days a week providing all your daily grocery needs, public house and restaurant.
A high quality 18 hole golf course can be found at Bigbury on Sea overlooking the stunning coastline.
