SITUATION Torcross is a pretty coastal village, nestling between the southern end of Slapton Sands and the fresh water lake of Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve. Situated on the South West Coastal Path in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with much of the surrounding coastline being owned by the National Trust. The village has a well-known pub and a bar/restaurant and is within walking distance of a farm shop with a butchery, deli, plant centre, brewery and cafe restaurant. The village is almost equi-distant between Kingsbridge and Dartmouth, each of which has their own extensive and delightful range of services and amenities including a primary and secondary schools.
DESCRIPTION Ley View dates back to 1894, originally built as a farm workers cottage for the nearby Widdicombe estate. Later a B & B and now a fabulous, extended family home. The property has the advantage of very spacious and flexible accommodation, with the possibility to create a ground floor annex if desired. The property enjoys fabulous views over the Slapton Ley, out to sea stretching from Torcross to Strete Gate and the beautiful South Hams countryside.
