South Allington, Kingsbridge

A Charming Devon Cottage in an Idyllic Coastal Setting

Tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of South Allington, this quintessential Grade II listed Devon cottage offers the perfect balance of rural tranquillity and easy access to some of South Devon’s most desirable coastal villages and beaches. Just 11⁄2 miles from East Prawle, South Pool, and the unspoilt sands of Lannacombe and East Portlemouth, the location is ideal for those seeking a slower pace of life, surrounded by countryside, coastline, and a welcoming local community.

Perfectly positioned between the vibrant towns of Kingsbridge and Dartmouth, the cottage also benefits from excellent amenities nearby, including the award-winning Stokeley Farm Shop with its deli, café-restaurant, and bar, plus local pubs, village shops, and a post office in Chillington.

This beautifully maintained home is full of character and history, constructed from distinctive blue-green stone and featuring light-filled, double-aspect rooms. Once two cottages, it has been thoughtfully combined into a generous and welcoming residence, ideal for year-round living or a coastal escape.

Inside, the open-plan kitchen and dining room with original flagstone flooring leads to a cosy lounge, where a wood-burning stove creates a warm, inviting atmosphere on cooler evenings. A practical home office, cloakroom, and flexible pantry/store complete the ground floor. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms capture sweeping views across rolling countryside, with the master bedroom benefiting from fitted wardrobes. A family bathroom and separate shower room provide modern convenience for guests and residents alike.

Outside, the rear garden backs onto open fields, offering privacy and a peaceful setting to relax or entertain. Two useful outbuildings provide additional storage, and private parking is available for one to two vehicles, with more nearby.

Whether you’re drawn by the proximity to the South West Coast Path, the picturesque beaches, or the vibrant local food and arts scene, this home is a rare opportunity to embrace the very best of Devonshire living.
