A charming and stylish family home in the heart of Shaldon

This coastal cottage is a beautiful property which dates back to the 19th century but is a far cry from its former self. Today, this lovely house is charming and is packed with beach hut styling. Set in the heart of Shaldon with all amenities close by, this reverse-level property enjoys views over the river and the village green.

This cottage is kitted out in nautical style – step inside the blue front door and the interior is light and spacious offering plenty of room for 4/6 people. The two bedrooms and the fabulous shower room are on the ground floor with living accommodation on the first floor. The property has partial river views and overlooks the village green in Shaldon, a popular spot and a great place for picnics. The vaulted ceiling in the open-plan living and kitchen area makes for a sociable space with a couple of sofas, a sofa bed (for additional guests) and a TV. The kitchen is well equipped with all modern appliances including waste disposal, a washing machine and a dishwasher. The contemporary circular dining table is a perfect addition to the room, sitting adjacent to the expansive full-height window where you can take in the views over breakfast.

Shaldon is a quaint little fishing village opposite Teignmouth (1 mile) at the mouth of the River Teign, where it’s easy to hop on one of the regular ferries and explore further afield. The area is popular with walkers too with the South West Coast Path offering some fabulous coastal strolls right on the doorstep. Follow one of the nature trails, do a spot of bird watching on the river or try your hand at one of the water sports on offer. Golfing enthusiasts will enjoy the 18-hole golf course (1 mile), the charming local conservation zoo (1 mile) is a must, as are the fabulous beaches (three within 2 miles) and the Shaldon Botanical Gardens (0.5 miles). Visit in August, and you can join in the fun of the annual Shaldon Regatta, so be prepared to get swept up in the merriment!
