    “Meadow Bank Cottage is a lovely cosy cottage with a small pretty garden which has a brook and a nice summerhouse in which to relax.”

    The property is conveniently situated for two nearby National Trust houses; Greenway and Coleton Fishacre. The village of Stoke Gabriel is a 15 minute walk away and has a lot to offer. The only downside was finding the cottage with the postcode sending you to a nearby kennels! The signage needs to be improved. But don't be put you off, it's well worth a visit.

The property

On a quiet country lane a mile from Stoke Gabriel village centre ( ¾ mile via waterside footpath) and next to historic Port Bridge, an 18th cent.

attached stone-built cottage beside a babbling brook (unfenced) which forms one boundary, a peaceful and picturesque location shared with passing ducks and the occasional kingfisher.

A large well-planted garden on several levels surrounds it, with waterside terrace (table/chairs), a lovely walled seating area (picnic bench, barbecue) and, on one of the raised lawns (steps up, care needed), a little summer house (chairs): lots of spots for all-day sun.

Outbuilding with washing machine and loo.

Steps up from parking area to gate and further path/steps down to front door.

Flagstone-floored kitchen (slimline dishwasher, microwave, fridge-freezer, electric cooker, pantry), through to cosy living/dining room with woodburner, TV/DVD and window seat.

Upstairs, looking over the brook, two bedrooms - a double, and a neat twin; shared clothes-hanging space in small dressing/cot room; bathroom (suite with separate shower).

Sandy beaches at Torbay, and Totnes (attractive old town on the Dart), each 4 miles.

Brixham, good golf (Churston) and car ferry to Dartmouth (town), 5 miles.

National Trust Greenway and Coleton Fishacre, 5 and 8 miles.
