Set in rolling wooded hills less than 1 mile from Cockington Country Park, this family-friendly cottage boasts an open-plan ground floor, an enclosed patio garden and easy access to an assortment of cultural, historical and natural attractions across the English Riviera.
This thatched cottage, a former mill, is set off a quiet lane in the heart of a chocolate box village above Torquay. Finished to an impeccable standard, its bright and airy rooms are dressed in warm, inviting tones and soft furnishings. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner has hard wooden flooring throughout and offers plenty of space for everyone to unwind in comfort, with river and countryside views from numerous windows. A vaulted ceiling and striking views are two key attractions of the first floor, which comprises a spacious king-size bedroom with a mezzanine overlooking the lounge, a twin bedroom in the eaves and a centrally positioned, well-appointed family bathroom. In the lounge, latticed patio doors open into an enclosed patio with a table and seating for al fresco meals and further river and countryside views. Private, off-street parking is available for one car, as is a car parking permit for various local beaches.
