main living area. From the living area, stairs ascend to a primary bedroom with dual aspect windows granting sea views and a door to the walled garden. The en suite with feature sliding door has luxury, designer sanitaryware. The second bedroom has equally pleasant garden views and an en suite shower room.
A gravel and paved path draws you round from the front of the property with an ornamental, wrought-iron pedestrian gate to the road. The walled front garden, provides the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee and savour those ever-changing views over Start Bay, Slapton Sands, and the lighthouse beyond.
A second wrought-iron gate continues to the rear walled garden – a charming and private
outdoor haven with lawn and established shrub and flower borders. From here, a gate links
through into the apartment garden. Featuring sea views along with colourful flower beds and
an apple tree, you can just imagine relaxing here, listening to the crash of the waves in the near distance. Gardeners can store their essential equipment in the pitched, stone-built potting shed or it would make the perfect den or home office.
South Devon is renowned for its green country pursuits, pristine coastline, quintessentially
English villages and small, well-regarded schools. Strete is no exception: Benefiting greatly
from its idyllic position sandwiched between aonb countryside, the South West Coast Path,
and long, family-friendly beaches.
So why not grab the buckets, spades, canoes and paddle boards and walk or drive to Strete Gate Beach and Slapton Sands? After the sea air has boosted your appetite, saunter along to Torcross at the southern tip, where you can enjoy a fish and chip supper on the sea wall or visit the Start Bay Inn and other fabulous restaurants. Nature enthusiasts can also stop here to explore the Slapton Ley Nature Reserve. The blue-flag awarded Blackpool Sands, which recently hosted a musical festival, is also only a short hop away.
Within the village itself, the residents come together at The King's Arms – an 18th Century listed pub – to socialise and absorb the stunning elevated views. Shop for the daily necessities at the village store and post office, which serves up local meat and vegetables and homemade cakes and scones as well as other essentials.
Nearby Dartmouth contains a great range of shops and supermarkets too, alongside a fantastic range of historic pubs, award-winning restaurants, marinas and yachting facilities. Stretch your legs and exercise the dog at the village green and along the South West Coast Path – if you're lucky, you may occasionally spot seals and dolphins. There's also a parish hall and a friendly church. Further afield, the wild beauty of Dartmoor welcomes hikers, torclimbers, and the chance to indulge in some superb cream teas.
Notable educational institutions in the area include the Ofsted-rated 'Outstanding' Stoke
Fleming Community Primary, a scattering of brilliant independents in and around nearby
Totnes, and the 'Outstanding' Kingsbridge Community College. Two schools within Torquay
and Plymouth have also been rated in the Top 50 by The Sunday Times.
