SITUATION The coastal village of Strete lies within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This picturesque parish is the gateway to a wonderfully scenic stretch of coastal footpath, taking you to Stoke Fleming via the stunning award-winning beach at Blackpool Sands, or in the opposite direction to the beautiful three-mile stretch of Slapton Sands and Slapton Ley.
Strete itself benefits from a post office/general store, a public house and a parish church. Dartmouth is the nearest town, offering a good range of shops, restaurants and galleries. It is surrounded by wonderful countryside and is only a short drive from some of the most beautiful beaches in the area.
To the north is the medieval market town of Totnes, with its mainline railway station and further amenities, whilst the A38 Devon Expressway is approximately 16 miles away, allowing speedy access to the cities of Exeter and Plymouth, and beyond.
DESCRIPTION Churchside is being offered to the open market for the first time since it was built and has remained in the ownership of the present family throughout. Occupying an elevated position next to the church, the property is tucked away, offering privacy, a large driveway and a good-sized integral garage.
The light and airy accommodation is flexible, with potential to create a further bedroom from the spacious office/hallway area. The kitchen and conservatory enjoy far-reaching sea views, making the most of both the gardens and the surrounding scenery. The enclosed, dog-proof gardens feature well-stocked borders, further enhancing this wonderful setting.
