A beautifully designed luxury family home with oodles of contemporary space. Perfectly positioned as the last property in a row of 12 within the exclusive Beachdown development, No. 1 has a unique outlook, and is the only home within the development to benefit from a sea view from its roof terrace. The development lies on south Devon’s sought-after South Hams coastline just 150 meters from the beautiful Blue Flag beach in Challaborough so for family holidays by the sea, it simply doesn’t get better.

Bright and spacious, an atmosphere of airiness and comfort dominates the upstairs living space which spills outside through large bifold doors on to a large, decked patio. Backed by a landscaped, tiered garden, the area feels private and peaceful, with steps leading up to a fabulous roof terrace where sweeping sea views are showcased; perfect for fresh air dining or for soaking up the Devonshire sunshine on hot days.

Practically, the home’s interior space works just as beautifully creating areas to come together in as well as room to be apart, with a convivial open plan layout incorporating the home’s huge living room with luxury seating and entertainment system, contemporary kitchen and large, spacious dining area. Perfect for whipping up anything from a full English to a roast dinner, the kitchen is fully kitted out and includes a breakfast bar with seating, while the dining area which looks out over the terrace, creates a sociable space for sharing meals and conversation. Downstairs, the three modern bedrooms are generously proportioned to provide guests with space to retreat to after days spent enjoying the sun and surf, and the family suite with its furnished snug is ideal for guests with children in tow.

1 Beachdown is the perfect base from which to enjoy all that the wonderful stretch of South Hams coastline has to offer. From exploring nearby Burgh Island to sampling the surf at Bigbury on Sea, wandering the South West Coast Path through an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or SUPing in Kingsbridge, this holiday home is just the place for making memories and enjoying some well-deserved rest and relaxation.

This property accepts 1 dog as standard. 2 dogs are accepted on request.

Lovely bright airy place to stay. Good size rooms. Very clean. Lots of kitchen equipment. Getting to the property is a bit tricky due the narrow roads. Easy to get to the beach and other beaches. Great fish and chip shop 100 metres away.

A lovely building, downstairs very clean upstairs there was loads of white hairs look like dog hairs our dog does not molt hair as she’s not that sort of dog, we swept up what we could, the layout was lovely the master bedroom the mattress on the left side mattress has gone but the right side was comfy other two beds too low to use and also blue leather sofa very low the black leather chair was comfy outside was lovely and the roof top terrace was lovely, great location nothing much there be handy in the guide instead of having instructions on how to use oven and hob and microwave which was very straight forward put where local shops are we went to Plymouth to Sainsbury’s when up the road half the distance was good shops, if you do stay take food or get Tescos to drop it off as nothing there and small very narrow roads to the property would I stay again yes we would as we wanted a get away from it stay and that’s what we got very quite you could hear the waves from the sea when sitting outside go to the island walking is better than driving nice pub and shop that sells bits and bobs and hoodies etc lovely lady in the shop very informative overall a great stay would recommend but if you have mobility issues only one bed is high and blue leathers sofas to low seen there day but overall a very nice property private and quiet and plenty of room

Hi Clare. Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful feedback. We're really pleased to hear you enjoyed the peaceful setting, the rooftop terrace, and the overall layout of the property. We’re sorry to hear about the dog hairs upstairs. While the property is thoroughly checked during each changeover, we’ll follow up with the cleaning team to double-check and ensure this isn't a continued problem. Regarding the mattress in the master bedroom, the team will inspect it to assess the condition and make any necessary improvements. Thanks again for your kind words and for recommending the property. We’re glad you had a relaxing getaway and would love to welcome you back in the future. All the best.

Beautiful holiday home

Beautiful holiday home, with everything you need.
Our only feedback would be that the outside space needs a little tlc and perhaps some new furniture. It's a shame the roof space was not more inviting.
We also found the lanes to the house very narrow and it could take a long time to actually get to the main road.
Otherwise we loved the quiet safe location and easy access to the beach.

Excellent location, some great walks right from the front door. Fabulous property, kitchen was really well equipped, everything was there for a self catering holiday, we had a really comfortable stay.
Just a minor suggestion would be to put a mirror in the ensuite bedroom but otherwise the property was perfect.
