Beyond the kitchen, a spacious tiled shower room leads to an inner hall, perfect for muddy paws and boots after beach adventures.
Stepping outside, the real surprise awaits: a spacious terraced garden rising across four levels, combining gravel and lawn areas with garden furniture and a barbecue. From the top level, views stretch across the rooftops, creating a peaceful elevated retreat. The enclosed garden provides a secure space for four-legged friends to explore freely. Upstairs, the cottage-style staircase leads to two inviting bedrooms: a master king-size room and a flexible second bedroom with zip-and-link twin beds that convert to a king-size on request.
Imagine leisurely mornings with coffee on the terraced garden, planning adventures along the South Devon coast. Spend sunny days beside Dawlish's sandy beach, watching the famous black swans glide along the riverside walk, then wander into town for independent shops and waterfront cafes.
