A Message from the owner:

‘Five-years ago, I found myself searching for a bolthole to share as an Airbnb rental. Because of my family history, my search was naturally going to be within the Kingsbridge area, being pulled to somewhere very special and familiar to my childhood. I was immediately drawn to the quiet village of Churchstow, coincidently where my parents had their first kiss!

I found a cosy thatched cottage with an abundance of character, and two essentials: a woodburning stove to curl up in front of at the end of the day, and a parking space. The lack of garden was a blessing, making it a perfect lock-up and leave. Another plus, it is less than a seven-minute drive to several outstanding beaches, with stunning walks along the South Devon Coastal Path. My Churchstow neighbours have been friendly and generous from the start, giving me a welcome beyond my wildest dreams. Nothing is too much trouble, they are always there when you need a helping hand, and I’ve made lifelong friends, whom I’ll truly miss having so close by’.  

Location:

Churchstow is situated just outside of Kingsbridge and has a village shop, the popular Church House Inn and an impressive church. The village has some excellent primary schools in its catchment area in nearby Kingsbridge and Thurlestone. The village is located within a short distance from some stunning beaches in Bantham and Thurlestone and is also ideal for commuters to Plymouth with easy access to the A379 for both car and bus routes.

The Property:

Thatchers end is a beautifully presented grade II listed period cottage in Churchstow. Situated on a quiet country lane, the property benefits from living room with woodburning stove, large double bedroom, fitted bathroom and kitchen.

 

A wooden stable door leads to the kitchen which is fitted with a selection of units with workspace over, and inset sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include a ceramic hob and oven/grill/microwave combi, with space and plumbing for washing machine. There is also space for an undercounter fridge, and the tiled floor continues throughout the ground floor of the property.

 

The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising bath with shower over, hand wash basin and low-level WC. An obscure window provides natural light and there is a wall mounted electric towel warmer and fan heater.

The living room is a beautiful cosy space with beamed ceiling, and feature exposed stone wall with fireplace and woodburning stove with solid wood mantel above. The front elevation window provides plenty of light and has a wooden mantle above and window seat below.

Winding stairs lead to the spacious and bright double bedroom with painted floorboards and exposed beams to ceiling. Insert shelves, and wall mounted electric heater and bespoke built-in wardrobes to recess.

Outside:

the property benefits from a private parking space outside a neighbouring property approximately 50 yards away.

The property is full of period features with many curved walls and original wooden beams. The property has been previously used as an Airbnb, and would make a perfect bolt hole or continued use as a holiday let.
