South Allington, Kingsbridge

Tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of South Allington, this quintessential Devon cottage offers the perfect balance of rural tranquillity and easy access to some of South Devon’s most desirable coastal villages and beaches.  East Prawle, South Pool, Beesands and East Portlemouth are all close by, and the unspoilt sands of Lannacombe are within easy walking distance.The location is ideal for those seeking countryside, coastline and a welcoming local community.

Conveniently positioned midway between the vibrant towns of Kingsbridge and Dartmouth, the cottage benefits from excellent local amenities, including pubs and farm shops at Frogmore and Stokenham and a post office at Chillington. 

This beautifully maintained home is full of character and history, constructed from distinctive blue-green stone and featuring light-filled, double-aspect rooms. Once two cottages, it has been thoughtfully combined into a generous and welcoming home, whether  for permanent residence  or a coastal escape.

Inside, the large open-plan kitchen and dining room with tiled slate flooring leads to a cosy lounge/study, where a wood-burning stove creates a warm, inviting atmosphere on cooler evenings. A flexible pantry/ utility room and a cloakroom complete the ground floor. 

Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms capture sweeping views across rolling countryside, with the master bedroom benefiting from fitted wardrobes. A family bathroom and separate shower room provide modern convenience for guests and residents alike.

Outside, the rear garden backs onto open fields, offering privacy and a peaceful setting to relax or entertain. Two useful outbuildings provide additional storage, and private parking is available for one to two vehicles, with more space nearby. 

This delightful cottage, which is Grade II listed, has potential for extensions at the back and in the large loft-space, while the larger of the two outbuildings could be converted into a an undisturbed home office.

Whether you’re drawn by its  proximity to the South West Coast Path, the picturesque beaches, or the vibrant local food and arts scene, this deceptively spacious and comfortable home provides a rare opportunity to embrace the  best of Devonshire living.
