Bigbury, South Devon

Surrounded by countryside and within close proximity to South Devon's most attractive sandy beaches, this is an exceptionally characterful and pretty Grade II Listed cottage in a hamlet which is just a few miles from the Georgian town of Modbury, and not far from Salcombe.

SITUATION
Bigbury is a charming village located 1.5 miles inland in the South Hams area of South Devon. The beautiful parish church of St Lawrence was extensively rebuilt in 1872 but parts are believed to date back to the 14th century. Local amenities include the popular Oyster Shack known for its exquisite local produce. At St Ann's Chapel you will find Holywell Stores & Post Office which is open 7 days a week providing all your daily grocery needs, public house and restaurant. A high quality 18 hole golf course can be found at Bigbury on Sea overlooking the stunning coastline. Approximately one mile away is Bigbury-on-Sea which is a very desirable coastal village in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Famous for its magnificent sandy beaches and glorious views over Burgh Island with the renowned Art Deco hotel and the historic Pilchard Inn. With its beautiful golden sands, shallow water for paddling, rock pools for exploring and watersports it is a very popular holiday resort for families.

ACCOMMODATION
From the garden to the front, a door opens to a porch with a further door into the living/dining room, with many features such as original exposed wooden beams and fireplace. There is plenty of room for a dining table and a doorway opens to the kitchen with quarry tile flooring and a range of fitted based and wall units with an integrated electric oven, hob and fridge. A window gives lovely views of the garden. From here, you have access to the bathroom, offering a wash hand basin, WC and bath with shower over. The original staircase brings you to the first floor, the layout is ideal for families as the twin room can only be accessed from the master double bedroom. Both bedrooms have much character and have windows with views to the front of the cottage. The property was re-thatched in November 2017.

OUTSIDE
A large enclosed garden is accessed through a five bar gate which opens to a sizeable parking area and a range of stone outbuildings with a further side gate alongside the back entrance to the property via a few steps from a public footpath. Mature trees and shrubs punctuate the lawns which run up to a terrace at the rear of the cottage, and access through a Utility Room to the Kitchen.
