About this property

An idyllic family farmhouse resting just outside of the picturesque town of Dartmouth, Little Cotton Farmhouse is a beautifully presented property settled into three acres of land, ideal for exploring the local coast and countryside. Park off road and unpack with ease; cross the threshold noticing the bare stone features on the exterior and kick off your boots and hang up your coats in the storage area. Be welcomed into a light and airy sitting room where you can recline on one of the leather sofas and catch up on your favourite TV shows, with a electric wood-effect stove to warm your feet beside in the cooler months. In the warmer months, open the double doors and let in the fresh countryside air, or head out to a delightful patio, ideal for alfresco dining; there is also a large, grassed area for the little ones to enjoy. A bright sunroom snug enjoys a quiet space to curl up with a book and a cup of tea. The kitchen/diner boasts an air of opulence, from the well-fitted contemporary kitchen furniture and large, stylish dining table to the feature fireplace, bare bricks, beams and tiled flooring, this is an ideal space for cooking together as a group and enjoying a heart-warming meal, or watch TV. Freshen up after a long day of exploring in the ground-floor wet room or first-floor bathroom. The first and second floors of this property house five tasteful bedrooms (second floor bedrooms available on request), beginning with a king-size with an en-suite, a king-size zip-link that can be set up as a twin on request and a children’s cabin bed with a single bed on the first floor, and on the second floor there is a king-size with a shower room and a twin, and care has been taken to make sure each room is homely and stylish, each one fitted with storage, TV, and Velux windows. If you can tear yourself away from this truly stunning property, head over to the coastal town of Dartmouth and enjoy a scenic walk along the harbour and River Dart, before indulging in a heart-warming meal at a tasty local eatery or checking out the independent stores. There are many stunning sandy beaches within easy reach of the property, as well as historic sites including Kingswear Castle and Dartmouth Castle. Explore the local wildlife at the lovely Little Dartmouth National Trust site or spend a day basking in the sun and surrounded by tremendous views at Blackpool Sands, an ideal spot for walking with your four-legged family member and trying out water sports. Make a family getaway to remember with a stay at the wonderful Little Cotton Farmhouse.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the stunning Start Bay coastline, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many popular events such as the annual Dart Music Festival, Dartmouth Food Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta. This historic town boasts interesting landmarks, such as Dartmouth Castle, the Britannia Royal Naval College, and the National Trust’s Greenway House just a short ferry ride away. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through the rolling countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat or ferry trip across to Kingswear, on to Brixham, or down the river to the village of Dittisham. For those seeking sandy beaches, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular beaches just a stone's throw from Dartmouth.
