Full Description

 

Stunning is the only word to describe the location of this cottage. Lannacombe Bay is one of the most beautiful unspoilt stretches of coastline anywhere in England, where dramatic cliffs fall away to sandy coves and the coastal path clambers its way from Start Point to Salcombe and beyond. No. 2 is the middle cottage of three attached coastguard cottages built by the Admiralty in 1903 and provides comfortable, practical, no frills accommodation in a simply glorious spot. There are two fine beaches on the doorstep, one shingle and one sand, both good for swimming and perfect for rock-pooling, beach art and family use. Walking is unsurpassed with the South Devon Coast Path at the bottom of the garden. This much loved cottage has been in the owners' family for over 60 years and a more tranquil and beautiful spot is hard to imagine.

Accommodation:
Access to the cottage is at the rear with a glazed door that opens directly into a small kitchen. Well equipped with painted wood units, there is an electric ceramic hob, built-under electric oven, washing machine, microwave and large fridge/freezer. Adjacent WC. A door opens into a large living room, bright and cheerful with rugs on the polished wood floor, two large sofas, a chair, open fireplace, flat screen wall mounted TV with Sky Freeview, DVD and stereo CD/tape player. A solid fuel Rayburn (use is optional for those familiar with Rayburns) provides background warmth, hot water and an extra cooking facility. There is a large dining table to seat up to 8 and a pretty dresser.
Carpeted stairs to the first floor. Double bedroom with 4ft 6in bed, fitted cupboard and superb sea views with the sound of the sea breaking below to lull you to sleep! Further small bedroom with 4ft bed, hanging hooks and views to the rear of the cottage. Small, basic bathroom with bath, hand held shower, basin and WC. Second floor: A family bedroom which provides flexible sleeping arrangements with a metal bunk bed, the upper section is a 4ft 6in bed (lovely window views), the lower bunk is a 3ft single. There is a further 3ft single brass bed in this room. Cupboard on the landing provides hanging space.

Outside: A fairly rough track leads from Lannacombe Beach to the coastguard cottages and the area surrounding the three cottages is reached by a gated driveway and is enclosed by low walls and hedging. The grounds are not divided between the cottages (one of which is residential), and the area in front of No.2 and to the rear is for the use of the cottage itself. There is a large picnic table on the front lawn overlooking the sea. A raised area at the rear provides a sheltered seating area and clothes line. Sun loungers are kept in the 'washhouse' alongside this area. There is tidy parking for two cars, being mindful that other vehicles will also be using the same parking area.
