This beautiful cosy cottage has been recently refurbished in a stylish and contemporary fashion, respecting many of the original features. It is nestled mid-terrace of a barn conversion in the beautiful location of Higher Batson, a peaceful and hidden corner of the South Hams, just a twenty-minute walk along the estuary to Salcombe. In Salcombe you will find plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants to while away the hours.

Oyster Cottage is perfect for a family holiday home as it has a secure rear garden where both the dogs and children can play. With ample parking for up to 2 cars, this property also welcomes our four legged friends to join us at an additional price of £30 per dog. This quiet, rural and secluded place is sheltered from the wind and brimming with wildlife.

There are numerous other walks, straight from the house, such as the well-known and favourite walk to Snapes Point, with stunning views over Salcombe’s estuary.

House description

Oyster Cottage is accessed down a path through the beautifully kept communal gardens and parking area. Outside is a small patio with a wrought iron cottage style patio set to catch the morning sun with a cup of coffee. You enter the cottage via the welcoming and handy front porch ideal for storing coats and boots which then leads you into a lovely open plan sitting room with a fabulous wood burner and two comfortable sofas. It is the perfect place to unwind, relax, and make plans for another lovely day.

The sitting room leads through to an open plan dining area which is spacious and looks out to the rear patio area and has the advantage of a stable door to let in the fresh air. The farmhouse table is situated beside the convenient serving hatch from the kitchen, handy for serving breakfast or a piping hot Sunday lunch.
This property has a fully equipped galley kitchen with all you would need to cater during your stay. The benefits of a dishwasher, washing machine and 50/50 fridge freezer are ideal for a family stay. From the kitchen is another stable door leading into the sheltered rear garden, ideal when using the al fresco dining area where there is seating for 6 as well as a barbecue, perfect for wining and dining on lazy warm summer evenings. Steps in the garden lead you up to a lawn area, where you will find a picnic table with lovely valley views.
