Beulah, stunning sea views

This spacious Victorian semi-detached cottage is in the coastal village of Strete, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the stunning South Hams. With sea views ahead and fields to the side, this is the perfect home from home, the place where you can create memories that turn into myths and legends that are talked about for years to come. Beulah is not just for this year’s staycation, but you will want to return year after year after year.

From the entrance, step down passed the utility room with a washing machine and bathroom situated next to the light and airy open-plan kitchen/diner. The very well-equipped kitchen has a Neff gas hob, double oven, dishwasher and if you enjoy a coffee, there is a French press and filter coffee maker. The kitchen is open to the large farmhouse kitchen table under the skylit roof. A great place to enjoy family meals and play games.

Through to the contemporary living space with oak floors and underfloor heating throughout, and the large comfy l-shaped sofa has plenty of room for all the family to enjoy a film or just the heat from the log burner during those cooler evenings.

There is a Sonos sound system and smart tv with Netflix and Prime subscriptions.

From the living room, go through the external door out to the lawned garden, and al fresco dining area with incredible views of the sea to the front and fields complete with livestock to the left for a real taste of Devon.

From the open tread stairs, go up to the split-level landing and the spacious king-size master bedroom has stunning sea views over the bay. The spacious king-size bedroom 2 has an original vaulted ceiling and views of both fields and the sea and on the middle is a smaller double bedroom with shower room opposite.

Drive either way to Slapton Sands and Blackpool Sands with stunning `English riviera` views to match.

The property is accessed from the road via steps. There is a drop off point by the steps and free parking in the village or on the road side.

From the host:

Beulah was derelict when we bought it, so needed extensive renovation. We tried to keep as many of the old features as possible and reuse materials such as doors and cupboards wherever we could.
We wanted to be as sustainable as possible, so installed solar panels and electric heating throughout and the most efficient LED lighting all using 100% green electricity when the solar panels are not providing enough. The house is effectively zero-emission apart from the gas hob. We installed insulation on all external walls and ceilings and under the floor, alongside high-efficiency double-glazing wherever we replaced any glass. We also tried to use natural materials wherever possible, and greener paint. We’ve used inherited, vintage and restored furniture, mostly mid-century modern, apart from new beds, sofa and soft furnishings (for obvious reasons). The garden was well-stocked from previous owners and we’ve tried to keep an informal cottage-garden feel.
