Bowden, Dartmouth

This sanctuary for every season is hidden away in the heart of the idyllic South Hams, close to the village of Stoke Fleming. The three bedroom stone cottage is within walking distance to the clear waters of Blackpool Sands and its beautiful beach. There are stunning rural walking routes through countryside trails. As the days shorten, warmth takes centre stage: the expansive living room, anchored by a cracking log burner, provides a backdrop for unforgettable family Christmases with space for a tree and festive morning cheer.
The substantial stone construction is beautifully maintained throughout and is set within an exclusive small cluster of five high-calibre cottage homes, the property is immaculately maintained. Surrounded by a warm, welcoming mix of year-round locals and holidaymakers, it offers the perfect balance of community and coastal calm.

Owners Comments
We have really enjoyed our time at Oaktree cottage; its tranquil countryside location has been truly therapeutic. The lifestyle it has afforded us has been very special.
The layout of the house is very practical. Ideal for two, but great accommodation when guests arrive. The rural location with its views of the countryside has been great. Quiet moments with our coffee, watching the wide variety of colourful birds that attend our bird feeders have been lovely.
Whether a casual promenade to the fabulous Blackpool Sands beach or just observing the wildlife on a country walk makes everyday special for us and our visitors. Our adjacent neighbours are second home owners who frequent sporadically. The other three nearby cottages in the nearby mini complex comprise of two permanent family homes and one occasional second home owner who occasionally visit. All are friendly, supportive if needed and appreciate the tranquil ambience of the location.
