The Coach House, once the stables for horses and carriages, and home to the stable boy, sits on the edge of the Tamar Valley. Built in 1874, it retains many original features, including open timber beams, a small fireplace with holes for cooking rods, and exposed stone walls. The property lies on a smallholding with rare-breed Gloucestershire Old Spot pigs, bee hives, ducks, and free-range chickens.
Lovingly restored, the cottage combines historic character with modern comfort. High ceilings and large windows fill the interiors with light, creating a bright and airy space that’s perfect for a family countryside escape. The open-plan living area has a contemporary kitchen and dining table for sharing home-cooked meals, alongside a cosy seating area centred around a wood-burning stove.
Outside, you’ll find a generous garden with sweeping views across Dartmoor National Park, an idyllic setting for al fresco dining or a glass of wine as the sun sets over the hills. Families will love the children’s play area and the dog-walking meadow, ensuring no one is left out.
The Tamar Valley, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offers endless opportunities for adventure. Explore miles of walking and cycling trails, try kayaking, windsurfing, or paddleboarding on the waterways, and spot rare species in the surrounding woodlands. Nearby attractions include a heritage steam railway, historic houses and castles, and beautifully kept gardens and parks.
Just a short drive away, is the port city of Plymouth with numerous museums, art galleries, aquarium, the world-famous Plymouth Gin distillery, as well as plenty of restaurants and pubs. The coastline here is fringed with golden sandy beaches, some of the finest in the UK, perfect for swimming, surfing, or rock pooling on a sunny day.
