About this property
Tucked into the peaceful village of Kingston in South Devon, Ivy Cottage is a picture-perfect thatched cottage with beautiful interiors and an enclosed garden, perfectly placed for winding countryside walks, dramatic coastal paths and sandy beaches nearby, with the friendly village pub just down the lane and dogs warmly welcome to join the adventure.
Tucked away in the peaceful village of Kingston, surrounded by rolling South Hams countryside and just moments from the coast, Ivy Cottage is a charming and thoughtfully presented thatched cottage, perfectly suited to slower, more restorative days.
Inside, the cottage blends character with comfort, offering a warm and welcoming space to unwind. Light-filled living areas invite relaxed mornings and cosy evenings, while the kitchen is well-equipped for everything from simple breakfasts to leisurely suppers after a day exploring, complete with a Stanley range, perfect for preparing long, indulgent breakfasts for the family at an easy pace. Bedrooms are calm and comfortable, with soft linens and a gentle, homely feel throughout, creating a restful place to switch off and enjoy your Devon escape.
Outside, the cottage opens into a lovely garden space designed for making the most of long, unhurried days. There’s room to dine al fresco, fire up the barbecue and gather together as the evening draws in, or simply find a quiet corner to stretch out with a book and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Step beyond the garden and the pace of life shifts immediately. From the doorstep, quiet country lanes and scenic footpaths lead you through open countryside towards the River Erme and the unspoilt shoreline at Wonwell Beach, ideal for coastal walks, picnics and time spent close to nature.
The village itself adds to the appeal, with a much-loved local pub just a short stroll away, offering hearty food and a friendly atmosphere. Beyond Kingston, the wider South Hams opens up with easy access to Bigbury-on-Sea, Salcombe and a host of sandy beaches, waterside villages and coastal adventures.
Whether you’re drawn by fresh sea air, countryside walks or simply the chance to slow down, Ivy Cottage offers a quietly special base in one of Devon’s most beautiful and unspoilt corners.
