Located in Kingsbridge, Devon, 2 Ivy Cove offers a stunning coastal retreat that accommodates up to 7 guests across its three bedrooms. Nestled along the breathtaking Lannacombe Bay, known for its unspoiled beauty, the cottage is surrounded by dramatic cliffs and sandy coves, making it an ideal spot for beach lovers and nature enthusiasts alike. The area features two nearby beaches, one sandy and the other shingle, both perfect for swimming, rock-pooling, and family activities. The South Devon Coast Path is easily accessible from the property, providing excellent walking opportunities in this tranquil setting that has been cherished by the owners' family for over sixty years.
The accommodation at 2 Ivy Cove is practical and comfortable, designed for a relaxing stay without unnecessary frills. A glazed door leads into a small kitchen equipped with essential appliances, including an electric ceramic hob, built-in oven, washing machine, and large fridge/freezer. The spacious living room is bright and inviting, featuring polished wood floors, cozy sofas, a new woodburner stove, and a dining table that seats up to eight. The cottage includes a double bedroom with picturesque sea views, a smaller bedroom, and a basic bathroom. On the second floor, a family bedroom offers flexible sleeping arrangements with bunk beds and a cabin bed, making it suitable for various guest configurations.
Outside, the cottage is accessed via a rough track leading from Lannacombe Beach, and the surrounding grounds are shared among three coastguard cottages. A gated driveway provides entry, and the area in front of No. 2 is designated for its use, featuring a large picnic table that overlooks the sea. Additionally, there is a communal clothesline and sun loungers available for guests. A convenient gate provides direct access to a path leading down to Ivy Cove beach, enhancing the outdoor experience for visitors.
Parking is available for two cars adjacent to the cottage, though it is shared with the neighboring property, so consideration for access is necessary. For those seeking additional parking, Lannacombe Beach offers chargeable options, although availability can be limited, and overnight parking is prohibited. Local amenities include nearby beaches, a farm shop in Stokenham about 4 miles away, and pubs in Beesands and East Prawle, which are also approximately 4 miles distant. The coastal footpath leads to East Prawle, just 1.5 miles away, providing further exploration opportunities in this picturesque region of South West England.
