Located on the most southerly tip of Devon with wonderful sea views from the garden and most rooms, The Station Officer’s House is a delightful home from home, great for a relaxing family get together or for couples and friends wanting beautiful, peaceful surroundings. Located at the end of a mews of coastguard cottages, this comfortable, spacious and interesting property looks out to The Channel and surrounding rugged coastline with the amazing South West Coastal Path cutting through the meadow at the end of the garden. This place is a must for those who love dramatic walks with the dogs and getting away from the crowds.
A large, well equipped kitchen opens onto a terrace with garden table and chairs for relaxing alfresco dining. A cosy, wood panelled sitting room with woodburner leads to a dining room with window seating area. There’s a huge master bedroom suite with wrap around balcony overlooking the sea, en suite shower room and mezzanine floor with sofa and TV, a perfect hideaway if the children are getting too raucous. There’s a single bedroom adjoining the master suite as well as three further bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The pretty village of East Prawle is a mile away, back along the lane and has a welcoming pub as well as a seasonal cafe and shop. For those who want to explore, historic Dartmouth, the sailing Mecca of Salcombe and dramatic Dartmoor are within easy driving distance, but this house is all about the location, the views, the walks, the sounds of the sea and the peace and quiet. Isn’t that what a holiday’s all about?
