Lilac Cottage is an extremely well presented property nestled in the tranquil hamlet of Ford, one mile from the picturesque village of South Pool and not far from Start Bay and the Salcombe estuary. This five star cottage has been beautifully refurbished both inside and out. Stylish and comfortable, the living room has a log burner, perfect for those spring and autumn evenings after exploring all this the lovely area has to offer. There is a small private patio at the rear of the property and across the quiet lane a raised lawned area complete with summer house and superb views over the countryside and through the valley to South Pool providing a perfect spot to relax, unwind and watch the sun go down with a chilled glass of wine.
The hamlet of Ford is in the heart of the South Hams. Easy access to the main Kingsbridge to Dartmouth coast road makes exploring both these historic towns and all the quintessential villages in between easy. The South West Coast Path is 2 miles away providing some stunning walks, whether you wish to start in Prawle, Beesands or East Portlemouth with suitable stops for refreshments along the way. Pretty South Pool with the popular gastro pub The Millbrook Inn and estuary access is a 1 mile meander along a country lane (although this road is designed for motor vehicles it is not recommended to take vehicles along it, alternative route is two miles).
Outside
To the rear from utility area, small enclosed patio with bistro table and chairs. Across the lane, lawn with summer house and seating for 4.
The local area
The picturesque village of South Pool, with its pretty cottages and welcoming pub serving exceptional food, The Millbrook Inn, lies at the head of the idyllic South Pool Creek, an arm of the Kingsbridge and Salcombe Estuary.
The village is well located for walkers, who will enjoy the unspoilt countryside, as well as those who like messing about on their boats, or taking to the water on kayaks or paddle boards. It is also close to some fantastic sandy beaches at East Portlemouth, from where you can catch a passenger ferry across to the vibrant town of Salcombe, to appreciate the array of boutiques, pubs and restaurants that line the town's main street.
Just one and a half miles from South Pool you'll find the neighbouring creek-side village of Frogmore, home to a pub and excellent village shop and bakery. Further along the coast road towards the historic naval port of Dartmouth (which is well worth a day trip) you'll pass numerous appealing coastal villages on the way, including Torcross, with its nature reserve and three miles of shingle beach, and one of Devon's most popular beaches, Blackpool Sands.
Meanwhile, the market town of Kingsbridge is just 15 minutes' drive away and caters for all your holiday essentials.
A holiday cottage in South Pool provides an idyllic rural escape in stunning countryside on the edge of a beautiful tidal estuary.
