Tucked in the heart of Shaldon at the mouth of the Teign Estuary, this characterful cottage provides a wonderful base for couples or small families looking to mix seaside adventure with village life. Step out to enjoy Shaldon’s traditional shops, cafes and riverside strolls or hop on the ferry to the coastal town of Teignmouth, just across the estuary. Featuring a rear terrace with outdoor seating and garage parking, it’s ideal for relaxed holidays beside the sea.
Set across two floors, the cottage offers light, open-plan living designed for easy-going comfort. Enter on the first floor, where the bright and cheerful lounge, kitchen and dining areas combine to form a welcoming, sociable space. After sandy adventures, sink into the sofas to watch a film or gather round the table for leisurely suppers, prepared in the handsome, monochrome kitchen. From here, patio doors open to a charming rear terrace with outdoor furniture, ideal for making the most of warm weather. Upstairs, two cosy bedrooms whisper of sweet dreams. Choose between a king-size bed tucked beneath the eaves and a double with a Juliet balcony; they share use of the family bathroom. Guests benefit from garage parking for one car, with an EV charging point inside.
Head out to explore Shaldon’s beach and botanic gardens or walk to secluded Ness Cove Beach (just under a mile), accessed via a historic smugglers’ tunnel. Over the estuary, Teignmouth is a delight with sandy beaches, a Victorian pier, handsome Georgian houses, and fresh local food. Set on the South West Coast Path, the area is a delight for walkers, including a spectacular trail leading to Labrador Bay (around 4.5 miles).
