Description
An impressive south and west facing detached property, set between Galmpton and Hope Cove, enjoying generous proportions, superb views of the countryside and towards Hope Cove and the sea. EPC D.
Situation - Hope Cove lies within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is a small seaside village that is nestled between Salcombe to the east and Thurlestone to the west, that rests in the sanctuary of Bolt Tail in the arc of the Bay at Bigbury. It really is the place for a perfect coastal retreat where a laid back welcoming atmosphere greets you and the ideal place to enjoy the sandy beaches, fabulous bathing waters, and pretty surroundings. Once a thriving fishing village, Hope Cove is now, in the main, devoted to a relaxed style of tourism, so whether you are dreaming of relaxing on the beach, being out on the water or hiking the South West Coast Path the area really has it all.
Description - Believed to have been constructed in the 1980s, the property occupies a substantial plot and has remained in the same ownership for approximately 25 years. The sale presents an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to adapt and enhance the accommodation to suit their own requirements, making the most of the outstanding views and its enviable position just outside the highly regarded coastal village of Hope Cove.
Accommodation - From the private parking area, a door from the integral double garage leads up into a spacious entrance hall, creating an immediate sense of light and space. Alternatively, an external flight of steps rises to the main entrance. The hall provides access to a cloakroom, a useful airing cupboard and stairs descending to the lower level. The sitting room is a particularly generous reception space, enjoying superb south and west facing views, with a door opening onto the large balcony to fully appreciate the outlook. There is a fireplace, currently sealed, which provides a focal point to the room. The kitchen is well appointed with a range of fitted units and includes a Neff double oven, integrated fridge freezer, induction hob and extractor, together with space and plumbing for a washing machine.
