A charming property in an idyllic location, this pretty terraced house close to the river in Shaldon, a delightful coastal village on the South Devon coast, is the perfect choice for a family or two couples looking to spend a few days immersed in coastal living.

The property has a pretty little courtyard garden with a path leading up to the front door. Step inside and relax… this is coastal charm and the interior retains a homely feel throughout. The living area is a lovely sociable space with an open fireplace for the cooler evenings and comfortable sofa and armchairs. The beamed living area incorporates the dining table and chairs and fully fitted kitchen. Upstairs the stylish master bedroom is decorated in a coastal palette with soft grey and white furnishings and pretty bedding, basket chair and feature Victorian fireplace. The theme continues into the second bedroom with muted tones of soft beige and blue.

Shaldon is the perfect village for a coastal break with shops, cafes and restaurants just a short stroll away - the nearby Shipwright Arms a good option for lunch or dinner. Walk along the riverside or head out on the nearby South West Coast Path for some breathtaking views along the south Devon coast. Alternatively get out on the water and try canoeing, sailing and all the other water sports available. Shaldon also has a park, a 9-hole golf course, a charming local zoo, a host of lovely beaches and the Homeyards Botanical Gardens. Visit during August and join in the fun of the annual Shaldon Regatta! Shaldon is also within an 8-mile drive of Torquay and there are also numerous National Trust attractions close by. Dartmoor also offers adventurous days out walking, mountain biking, wild swimming and extreme sports.

It was such a well needed break from a very traumatic few months, a time of healing in a cozy cottage where we found everything one could ever need.
