General

About ½ mile from the centre of Shaldon, an ancient, Grade II listed, cob and thatch, semi-detached farmhouse. Originally, its occupants farmed all the land adjoining, but now it sits on a quiet residential road on a steep hill. At the front, a fairly large, enclosed walled garden with a partially hidden den and patio with table/chairs; at the back, an enclosed garden with large patio (table/chairs), steps down to a lawn.

Hall with parquet flooring; depth-of-house living/dining room with beam and inglenook (‘living flame’ gas fire), lots of fascinating books, TV/DVD, games, DVDs and a variety of artefacts/furniture from the owners’ travels; smart kitchen/dining room (dishwasher, fridge-freezer, gas hob) with polished granite worktops, butler sink and Chinese slate floor; utility area with Belfast sink, washing machine; door to back garden. Downstairs loo (washbasin). Upstairs, three bedrooms – a double (6’ bed), a twin, and a room with two sets of bunks; bathroom (suite) and shower-room (suite). Lovely old family house.

Guest Comments

This is a lovely, well-equipped cottage in a great area, perfect for exploring the many attractions of south Devon. We were pleasantly surprised that it was more spacious than it appeared online, and the children loved the garden, playhouse and selection of books. Very quiet despite proximity to the neighbours. Parking for 2 cars, great kitchen equipment, Freeview TV and plenty of clean towels were a bonus. - S Rose
