Champernowe

South Hams sits between Dartmoor and the coast, with Totnes two miles away for weekly markets and shops. Champernowe occupies a hamlet where country views reach across all the windows. This single-bedroom cottage stands on its own, next to the owner's house, with a south-facing garden, parking on site, and one well-behaved pet welcome.

The property is ground floor throughout: an open-plan living and dining space with a TV, a kitchen fitted with a gas hob and electric oven, a double bedroom, and a shower room. Essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen and Wi-Fi are included, and you can request use of the washing machine and tumble dryer. The garden has a picnic table, chairs and a barbecue for cooking outdoors.

A mile away stands Dartington Hall, a 14th-century estate with gardens open to visitors and woodland walks. The Cott Inn, a thatched pub and restaurant also dating back to the 1300s, is equally close. Beach access at South Hams and Torbay lies fifteen miles south; Dartmoor National Park is six miles to the north. Smoking is not permitted inside.
