This early 18th-century Grade II-listed villa in the delightful village of Shaldon is just 0.5 miles from one of the village’s main streets – stop off for a coffee and a bite at the bakery when head down to try a spot of crabbing. Upon your return, stoke the open fire and enjoy the views out of the bay window.
The accommodation is beautiful. The living room has French doors that open out onto the garden with river views. Furnished with pretty blue and cream sofas and armchairs offering plenty of relaxing space for eight people, the living is perfect for leisurely chats or watching TV. A striking focal point of this stylish room is the open fireplace with a large mantel mirror over it. The contemporary kitchen has all the usual appliances plus a dining table and chairs for eight. Just across the hall from the kitchen is the downstairs cloakroom with a washing machine. Upstairs, the four bedrooms are beautifully furnished with coordinating bedding in a neutral palette. Outside the property has a lovely lawned garden with views over the river and across to Teignmouth. Planted with pretty shrubs and flowers, a patio area with a table with chairs is perfect for a little alfresco dining in the Devon sunshine.
