  • Charming, end-of-terrace bungalow close to Bantham Beach
  • Beautiful views of the countryside and sea
  • Well situated for exploring South Devon’s visitor attractions

Property code: OC-BC1415

A homely bungalow enjoying glorious sea and countryside views, this property is just 4.5 miles from the attractive market town of Kingsbridge. With easy access to scenic beaches and sports facilities on land and water, this spacious property enjoys open-plan living areas and a spacious garden, making it perfect for small dog-owning families keen to fill their days with everything and nothing during their stay.

With natural light flooding many of its rooms, the bungalow's functional layout enjoys a relaxing energy throughout the day. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is a sociable space perfect for whiling away your mornings, afternoon and evenings, indulging in guilt-free treats and soaking up the view after a day spent exploring the local area. A family bathroom stands off this area and serves three beautifully appointed bedrooms: an en-suite double bedroom, a twin bedroom and a single bedroom. There is plenty of room on the lawn of the enclosed rear garden for children and dogs to run around, but older, wiser heads might just be content to study Bigbury-on-Sea and Burgh Island from the comfort of the patio with a refreshment in hand.

There are walks aplenty to enjoy around the countryside and headlands of Thurlestone Bay, with the view from the village’s stunning golf course worth the green fees on their own. Get sand between your toes before paddling at Thurlestone North Beach and Leas Foot Sands (within 2 miles), two gorgeous shorelines that’ll feel like your own pocket of paradise. Head over to the historic market town of Kingsbridge (4 miles) for amenities and scenic walks along the estuary.

Great bungalow with terrific view, but, not for me because of the tiny roads in & out of the village!

The views were stunning, the garden very secure.The accommodation needs a deep clean, the seating in the living area was uncomfortable, the same with the mattresses. I would return for the views but not to stay at this particular accommodation.

We had such a lovely holiday, 4 adults, one 2 year old and a dog. The garden was large and totally enclosed and with the most beautiful views. The property was so central to many places to visit - South Milton Sands,Kingsbridge, , Hope Cove, Bigbury on sea and we went to South Sands and caught the ferry to Salcombe and back as well as the Steam tRead morerain from Buckfastleigh to Totnes. It was lovely coming back to the beautiful garden, stunning sun sets and comfy beds. We had a brilliant week Hide
