The Property
The cottage opens into a welcoming hallway with original features and stairway leading to the first floor. To the front of the property, both the sitting room and dining room enjoy incredible open views across the Ley and sea, a constant reminder of the unique setting. The sitting room is cosy and inviting, with an open fireplace and traditional charm, while the dining room offers a sociable space in which to enjoy meals, with the ever-changing landscape as a backdrop.
At the rear, the kitchen continues the cottage feel with cherry wood units, a tiled floor, and a traditional oil-fired range. There’s a walk-in pantry for additional storage and a lovely rural view from the window above the sink. A separate utility room provides access to the garden, with plumbing for a washing machine and further storage space. There's also a ground floor WC.
A further room on the ground floor serves well as a fourth bedroom, study, or playroom, offering flexibility for family life or visiting guests. It also houses the oil-fired boiler and offers access to the original well.
Upstairs, there are three well-sized bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom and bedroom two are positioned at the front of the house to take full advantage of the spectacular water views, offering a peaceful outlook to wake up to each morning. The third bedroom looks over the garden and features a built-in cupboard.
The main bathroom retains its original cast iron bath and includes a vanity unit and WC, while a separate shower room offers practical convenience for family or guests.
Outside Space
The gardens are a true asset, generous, mature, and beautifully maintained. Running along the side of the property, they offer a mix of lawn, flower beds, mature trees, and private seating areas, including a paved patio and a charming summer house ideal for reading or relaxing on warm evenings. There’s also a stone store tucked away for garden tools or extra storage.
Double gates lead into a gravelled driveway with space for several vehicles. The detached double garage provides further storage or workshop potential, with a covered carport/storage area to the side. Original well still operational for optional use.
Location
Torcross is a small, unspoiled village nestled between the dramatic sweep of Slapton Sands and the peaceful waters of Slapton Ley. The area is part of the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is rich in wildlife and coastal walks. The village itself offers a popular pub, beachfront café/restaurant, and is within walking distance of a well-stocked farm shop with a deli, plant centre, and cafe.
Dartmouth and Kingsbridge, both vibrant South Hams market towns, are just a short drive away and offer excellent schooling, shops, restaurants, and a wider range of amenities.
