Lower Cottage is a handsome detached period cottage set in the heart of Slapton, moments from the beach and nature reserves. The house combines original stone character with careful modern finishes: a large, light-filled kitchen-dining room, dual-aspect sitting room with wood burning stove, and a useful utility room off the garden. The south-facing level garden and raised paved terrace provide private outdoor living and easy family entertaining.
Practical strengths include a substantial double garage plus gravel driveway parking, oil-fired central heating with Nest controls, and a thoughtfully laid-out ground floor wet room. The property is presented to a high standard throughout, yet its construction predates 1900 and external stone walls are assumed uninsulated — an important consideration if you are planning energy upgrades.
Location is a major draw: Slapton is a sought-after South Hams village with local shops, two pubs and easy access to Slapton Sands and the South West Coast Path. Broadband speeds are slow in this remote location and mobile signal is effectively non-existent, so buyers requiring strong digital connectivity should weigh this in. There is a medium flood risk for the area — check insurance and flood plan options.
This home suits a family seeking village life close to coast and countryside, or buyers who value character and are willing to carry out targeted improvements (insulation, energy efficiency, connectivity) over time. The generous plot, attractive rooms and garage offer immediate comfort with scope for sensible investment to reduce running costs and future-proof the house.
