Imaginative, spacious coachhouse conversion in the grounds of a large country house near historic Totnes. Ideal for varied holiday - sea and moor, relax and explore. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. Children welcome.
In the beautiful rolling countryside of the South Hams between the sailing centres of Dartmouth, Kingsbridge and Salcombe and the wilderness of Dartmoor, the cottage is an excellent centre for discovering this unspoiled region with its stunning coastline, wonderful beaches, pubs and restaurants and charming towns and villages. A few minutes walk down the drive and lanes, and away from the main roads, is the village of Harberton and the 13th century Church House Inn, while Totnes, with its Norman castle, Tudor architecture and tantalising food and craft shops is no more than a few minutes drive away. Return each day to the peace and tranquillity of the cottage, a warm summer evening or a crackling fire and a star-studded heaven.
