Full description
Tenure: Freehold
This quirky, town centre Victorian cottage, which has been lovingly updated by the current owners, is a great find. The property has unusually shaped rooms throughout, which adds to its character. The property has new flooring throughout and is well decorated. Craftsmen have installed the bespoke wooden staircase, complete with inset lighting and the shower room. The courtyard garden provides a manageable outdoor space, where the current owner grows fruit and vegetables throughout the year.

We are delighted to work in partnership with the owners, to offer this beautiful home for sale. The accommodation is arranged over two floors. On entering, you arrive in a large flexible space, which is currently used as lobby. A large living room/dining room takes you to the kitchen and give access to the rear courtyard garden. Upstairs there are 2 double bedrooms. The owners have used the space effectively and built in a wardrobe in one corner. There is a modern, fully tiled wet room which also has the plumbing installed for a washing machine, in a large storage cupboard.  

The cottage is within a short walk of the town centre, beaches, and Manor Gardens. Dawlish offers a wide range of amenities including Coryton Cove beach which is used widely by local families and the long stretch of beach leading from Dawlish to Red Rock and onto Dawlish Warren. The town has many established social and interest groups for all ages, churches, bars and cafes. The lawn, in the centre of town, is a focal point for community activities and events, the annual Dawlish carnival in August each year, is an established highlight. 2 good primary schools and a good secondary school serve the town well. Dawlish has good transport links, including a train station and easy access to Teignmouth, Exeter and beyond.
