Hope Cove, Kingsbridge

Hope Cove is a charming old fishing village just around the corner from Salcombe and facing out into Bigbury Bay. It is a friendly village with a laid back atmosphere, a number of popular places to eat and two sandy beaches from which small craft can be launched with ease. The village is set amongst dramatic scenery created by the National Trust owned cliffs and headlands that can be accessed by the South Devon Coastal Path.

Kingsbridge offers extensive shopping facilities including a health centre, small hospital and sports centre. The neighbouring village is Thurlestone which has a 4 star hotel, together with pub, post office / general stores, church, spectacular 18 hole cliff top golf course and highly regarded primary school.

Whispers Edge has an excellent and very pleasant position in Inner Hope, a short walk from the sandy beach, slipway and coastal path.

Sympathetically extended and renovated by the current owners, this charming cottage has been beautifully maintained and offers comfortable accommodation which is immaculate throughout. The spacious bespoke kitchen has built-in cabinetry and access to the well equipped utility room and shower room with door to outside. The double aspect sitting room has a wood burning stove and in addition a stylish garden room has full width sliding doors to the paved terrace.

There are three spacious bedrooms on the first floor, an en-suite shower room and family bathroom. From the main bedroom there are views across the village to the sea.

At the front of the cottage is a south facing garden which is mainly laid to lawn and enclosed by stone walls. The garage provides wonderful storage for boating equipment; an outside shower is attached with heated drying room. The gravel driveway provides off-street parking for two cars.

The property is suitable as a permanent home or holiday home with rental projections available on request.
