Higher Cotterbury Cottage

Description

Higher Cotterbury Cottage in South Devon is tucked deep in beautiful rural landscape in the heart of the South Hams, a most attractive stone cottage, attached to one side of the original farmhouse and enjoying a wide lawned garden fringed with trees. The cottage oozes character, retaining plenty of original features that combine with a high quality modern kitchen and bathroom to provide most comfortable accommodation. The conveniently located cottage is also extremely environmentally friendly with brand new solar photovoltaic panels, so throughtout daylight hours the cottage draws its own green electricity which is further complemented by a heat store warmed by a wood burning stove, solar thermal and a heat pump thus creating a very low carbon stay. This peaceful spot forms an ideal hub to explore this lovely area, with both Blackpool and Slapton Sands a few miles in one direction, the River Dart and Dartmouth that offers a wide range of water sport and recreation opportunities, busy marinas, picturesque buildings and excellent restaurants, in the other. Dartmouth Golf Club is within a 5 minutes drive along with Woodlands Leisure Park, a great day out for the children.
