Vine Cottage, a 300 year old, Grade II listed thatched cottage sits third in a row of four. Entering through the shared front a gate brings you to a small forecourt and the front door of your holiday abode. Walk in to the entrance porch with storage for boots/coats before making your way to the cosy living room, original beams above with a storage heater, electric ‘wood burning’ style stove and a limited sea view add to the ambience. Continue through to the tiled lobby where to the left steep stairs to take you to the bedrooms, and to the right the refurbished bathroom. Ahead of you step up in to the fitted kitchen, with storage heater, oven and hob, dishwasher, washing machine and large dining table, the fridge freezer can be found under the stairs. The backdoor is stable style and takes you to a small paved area and up several steps to the L shaped and fenced rear garden with lawn and picnic bench. The off road parking space is found beside the garage at the rear. Head up the steep stairs, with a step on the landing, where you will find the two bedrooms. The front bedroom benefits from a double bed, storage heater and a partial sea view. The back bedroom looks over the maintained garden and has a single bed with a pull-out trundle, and a storage heater. The ground-floor bathroom is fitted with a bath and an overhead shower, providing a sleek space to freshen up each day.
The cottage is in the beautiful South Hams of Devon where single-track roads with passing places wind through steep Devon banks and a fair amount of the coast is National Trust. East Prawle is to the east of the Salcombe estuary, (Salcombe is on the far side), near the most southerly point of Devon, Prawle Point. It is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, close to the South West Coast path, Start Point lighthouse and spectacular coastal scenery, within easy distance of all kinds of beaches and places of interest, with Dartmoor further afield. The sailing towns of Dartmouth and Salcombe are within easy driving distance. Travel to Salcombe via the passenger ferry from East Portlemouth, just a few miles down the road from the cottage.
In East Prawle village itself you can enjoy a meal at the local pub; the Pigs Nose Inn or A Pizza Me (with licensed bar) as well as Piglet Stores and Piglet café, (both seasonal), and in East Portlemouth, Village Farm café and farm shop. The nearest town is Kingsbridge, an appealing market town with supermarkets, various independents and a lovely bookshop. Springfield and Stokeley farm shops are on the way to Kingsbridge and Dartmouth respectively. There are boat trips from Dartmouth and Salcombe, and lovely countryside, attractions and places to eat in the wider area too numerous to mention.
Return to your inviting base at Vine Cottage to rest and rejuvenate, ready for another day of Devon adventures.
