A bright and spacious cottage set against a backdrop of woodland for days spent happily reading by the wood-burner or lunch on the sun deck

This wooden cottage was originally built for the 1922 Ideal Home Exhibition and carefully renovated to modernise it and make the most of the wonderful views. Inside there is plenty of room for four with an open plan living space and two good-sized bedrooms, each with doors to the outside decking. White walls and sash windows keep it bright and there are some beautiful design features, with good artwork.

The kitchen runs along the back wall of the cottage and is modern and well stocked. There's also a snug with a double sofa bed, and a useful utility room by the front door with a big freezer and wine chiller. Annie leaves you a hamper of seasonal veg from the garden, homemade jam and chutney, fresh eggs from her hens and a bottle of wine from Michael Sutton's Cellar.

You have a choice of outdoor spaces including small, covered porches with white picket fences at the front overlooking a neat lawn, a sun deck for drinks and dining and a children's play area to the side.

  • Easy access to many points along the South West Coastal Path, ranging from beautiful shingle and sandy beaches to rugged coastline vistas.

  • Nearby Dartmouth with its castle, museum, ferries across the river and varied shops and cafês is a vibrant hub, with annual Food and Music Festivals and of course the famous, Royal Regatta.
