This handsome Georgian house is set in a truly beautiful location on the banks of a languid tidal inlet of the River Dart in the waterside village of Tuckenhay. A timeless refuge from the cares of today, with gorgeous views both up and downstream of Bow Creek, where wildlife abounds and the only other visitors may be small craft wending their way to the nearby waterside inns. Perchwood House is supremely comfortable with spacious rooms and a lovely 'secret' garden with a terrace that commands wonderful views. Come here to totally unwind, moor your own craft alongside the private quay, watch the abundant birdlife, feed the swans, indulge in a little light crabbing and explore the local footpaths. If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic and peaceful haven the house is within easy reach of some of South Devon's loveliest beaches and coves and is convenient for the scenic beauty of Dartmoor.
