WITH ITS AWARD-WINNING Millbrook Inn, a 14th century church and a thriving local com- munity, South Pool is without doubt one of the most attractive and unspoilt villages in the South Hams. Egret Cottage is nestled within the heart of the village, that lies at the head of a long creek off the Salcombe estuary which itself provides access to the water (tides permitting) and offers extensive walking and bird watching opportunities. The wonderful sandy beaches of Millbay and East Portlemouth - where a regular ferry service can take you across the water to Salcombe are within just a few minutes' drive.


Egret Cottage is truly delightful with characterful features throughout, including beams and a stone fireplace with a wood burning stove. The sitting/dining room is charming and the win- dow seat provides a perfect place to settle and gaze at the creek beyond the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of units and some integrated appliances and the stable door provides


Coastal Crown Jewel


THE SOUTH HAMS has long been lauded as the most picturesque area in South Devon and a particularly fascinating spot is the area between Burgh Island, at Bigbury-on-Sea, and the head- land at Bolt Tail.


Hope Cove, with its 3 sandy beaches, nestles under the protection of Yeovil Rock and half a mile inland, looking down the valley at this idyllic location is Galmpton.


The current owners of The Byres, could see the massive potential of these former working barns in this pretty village so close to the coast.


They used their imagination, style and flair with great accord when they converted The Byres into 8 units and a detached single storey dwelling enjoying spacious, light and airy accommoda- tion with sea views.


Great care and attention was taken with the sympathetic restoration and specification, incorpo- rating hardwood window and door frames alongside exposed timbers and lintels. The layouts are individual and varied, with most units benefiting from their own outside space. The estab- lished landscaped gardens extend to approx. 1 acre around well-planned gravel parking areas. With further potential for development, subject to planning permission, is an additional detached barn currently used as a large garage and workshop.


There is a palpable sense of belonging and being in the right situation at The Byres but the great attraction for house buyers looking for an established business is that the whole will be sold with the benefit of the current tenants in occupation.


All of the properties at The Byres, with the exception of the single storey home are let on short hold tenancy agreements producing good historical income. A rare gem indeed in this sought- after part of the West Country, renowned for its holiday and leisure industry attractions. The Byres is offered to the market with a guide price of £2,000,000.

access to the rear. Upstairs there are two pleasant, good sized double bedrooms with fine views over the garden to the creek and beyond and a modern bathroom that has a white suite.


Immediately to the front of the cottage is a full-width paved terrace– the perfect spot to sit, relax and take in the views. Beyond this is a generous mainly lawned garden with a useful garden store. A wooden gate at the bottom of the garden leads to a good-sized gravelled parking area and a further lawned garden with a couple of fruit trees.


In this idyllic location, Egret Cottage could provide the perfect hideaway for those seeking time to relax and unwind.
