The property

Vine Cottage is a 300 year old Grade II listed thatched cottage, third in a row of four.

At the front, a gate shared with next door takes you a small forecourt.

The front door opens into the entrance porch with storage for boots/coats.

The cosy living room is beamed with a storage heater, electric ‘wood burning’ style stove and a limited sea view.

From there you pass into a tiled lobby, to the left steep stairs with freezer underneath, to the right the refurbished bathroom, ahead a step up to the fitted kitchen, with storage heater, oven and hob, dishwasher, washing machine and large dining table.

The backdoor is stable style and takes you to a small paved area and up several steps to the L shaped and fenced rear garden with lawn and picnic bench.

(The gate at the bottom of the garden leads to a path, ruined outbuildings and the garage which are not included in the letting).

The parking space is beside the garage at the rear.

The staircase is steep and has a step on the landing.

There are two bedrooms.

The front bedroom has a double bed and a partial sea view, and the back bedroom looks over the garden and has a single bed with a trundle.

Both bedrooms have storage heaters.

The cottage is in the beautiful South Hams of Devon where single track roads with passing places wind through steep Devon banks and a fair amount of the coast is National Trust.

East Prawle is to the east of the Salcombe estuary, (Salcombe is on the far side), near the most southerly point of Devon, Prawle Point.

It is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, close to the South West Coast path, Start Point lighthouse and spectacular coastal scenery, within easy distance of all kinds of beaches and places of interest, with Dartmoor further afield.

The sailing towns of Dartmouth and Salcombe are within easy driving distance.

Salcombe is accessible by passenger ferry from East Portlemouth just a few miles down the road.

In East Prawle village there is a pub, the Pigs Nose, A Pizza Me with licensed bar, (check website), plus Piglet Stores and Piglet café, (both seasonal), and in East Portlemouth Village Farm café and farm shop.

The nearest town is Kingsbridge, an appealing market town with supermarkets various independents and a lovely bookshop.

About the location

EAST PRAWLE

East Portlemouth 2 miles; Hallsands 4 miles; Beesands; Start Point 5 miles.

East Prawle is a small village near Prawle Point, the most southerly tip of Devon near Salcombe, in the beautiful South Hams area. East Prawle has a charming, traditional village pub overlooking the green, a useful shop (seasonal), and is renowned for its stunning coastline, popular with yachting enthusiasts. The sheltered South Hams peninsula is in 'deepest Devon', a pastoral landscape of flowering hedgerows and ancient sunken lanes, carved into by the richly wooded Avon and Dart Valleys. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is decorated with white, pink and ochre thatched cottages, picturesque fishing ports such as Dartmouth, and the beautiful seaside town of Salcombe. Much of the cliff top land has been acquired by the National Trust and is peppered with perfect picnic spots, a walker’s paradise. East Prawle is a wonderful base for uncovering the unspoilt beauty of Devon and the South Hams, all year round.
