  • Renovated 18th-century cottage in one of the most scenic areas of Torbay
  • Stroll to a small and peaceful beach set under spectacular cliffs
  • This is a great holiday home for families and couples alike

Property code: OC-BC1109

This unique and luxurious cottage is in a stunning position overlooking Torbay. Only half a mile from the award-winning Meadfoot Beach, and boasting refined, characterful accommodation with 180-degree sea views, this is the perfect holiday home for families and couples alike.

Formerly an 18th-century coastguard’s cottage, this property has been completely refurbished to provide a luxurious, modern space in which to relax and enjoy the captivating setting. On the ground floor is an entrance lobby, a spacious living room with sea views, a dining room with a fireplace and a new, well-equipped kitchen, together creating lovely spaces in which to relax amidst the opulent décor after a day’s adventure. A modern bathroom is also on this floor. Up the stairs on the first floor are the property’s three luxurious bedrooms, two benefiting from panoramic sea views, and all are decorated in neutral tones for a relaxing night’s sleep. In the morning, wake up refreshed and step outside to the front terrace where you can enjoy a coffee as you soak up the sea views. There is also a fully enclosed courtyard garden at the rear, perfect for al fresco dining.

Directly in front of the property is the 7-acre ‘Daddyhole Plain’ park which is perfect for children. The South West Coast Path passes in front of the plain, making the cottage an ideal location for walkers. Popular Torquay attractions including The Riviera Wheel, Beacon Cove and the iconic harbourside are all less than 1 mile away; the harbourside houses an eclectic mix of restaurants, shops and tourist museums. The English Riviera is a designated UNESCO Global Geopark, one of only seven in the UK and just 140 worldwide, as it has 32 individual geological sites, covering three geological time periods, all within a compact area. To find out more, a visit to the amazing Kents Cavern, just over 1 mile away in Wellswood, is a great place to start.

Excellent location in the heart of Daddyhole plain and a 15 min walk into town. Brilliant renovation of the old coastguard cottages. Private parking available for one car in a narrow road but plenty of parking in nearby roads for a second car if required.

We loved this property for an Autumn break. Great location to watch the storm and the sunshine. Double glazing meant an old cottage was super cosy. Loved the colour scheme and the big table leading into the lounge. Loved walking to Meadfoot..Great for dogs and a very good price in October half term hols.
