The perfect riverside retreat awaits in the South Devon hamlet of Tuckenhay, where an elevated balcony sits above the Harbourne River, creating a peaceful place to relax and watch the water drift by. Attached to a charming former bakehouse, this three-storey cottage has been thoughtfully converted to welcome up to 10 guests. Pet-friendly and wonderfully spacious, it’s an excellent choice for extended families or groups of friends seeking a tranquil countryside escape. The property is also ideally positioned for exploring the beauty of South Devon, with the English Riviera just 10 miles away.
On the ground floor of this delightful cottage, two separate spaces create room for relaxing. The first is a lovely lounge, designed with soft seating set around a Smart TV and wood burner, with river views. The second space for hanging out is the dining room, again featuring a delightful wood burner. Sit here during long, drawn-out mealtimes or whilst playing a board game. Five bedrooms are positioned throughout the first and second floors, accompanied by four en-suites and one family bathroom. For your guests of honour, the largest room is a super king-size master on the second floor, accompanied by a TV, seating area and en-suite with a luxurious roll-top bath. Outside, along with private parking for four cars, discover a delightful balcony suspended over the river.
In Tuckenhay, the Bow Creek estuary sees the Harbourne River flow into the River Dart. Follow the waterside pathway along the river, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the South Devon AONB as you explore, making your way down to Dartmouth (6.5 miles). Blackpool Sands, another local highlight, is just 7 miles away, offering a curve of white sand and tranquil waters. Discover further beaches in the nearby towns of Torquay (12 miles), Paignton (9 miles) and Brixham (8.5 miles), lovingly referred to as the English Riviera, owing to its unique microclimate.
