1½ miles from Stoke Gabriel, a smart, stylish cottage, one of a row of four beautifully created from a Grade II listed cider barn.
A little brook runs along the back and the cottages have pretty views over neighbouring orchards (apples, geese, chickens, pheasants); cider is still made and sold locally.
Own neat gravelled garden at the front and small, private, partly covered, enclosed courtyard (table/chairs) at the back, ideal for outdoor dining with the sound of the brook over the wall.
Inside, original beams and large circular stone pillars are complemented by fresh modern decor and oak floors downstairs.
Hall (space for coats/boots, dogs); loo; spacious open-plan living/dining/kitchen (dishwasher, washer-drier, microwave, freezer, larder fridge, electric oven/gas hob) with TV/DVD, iPod dock and door to sheltered rear courtyard.
Stairs (stairgates) up to three bedrooms (carpeted), all with pretty orchard views - a double with en suite shower-room (suite), a neat single, and a twin with antique brass beds; shower-room (suite).
An immaculate cottage in a lovely rural spot a few minutes drive from beaches (2½ miles) and shops.
