4 bedroom cottage for sale

A quite unique detached coach house property located in the beautiful coastal area just minutes from Maidencombe Cove and the south west coastal footpath. Quietly tucked away in it's own lovely garden, Orestone Cottage was once the coach house and stabling to the nearby Orestone Manor, now an exclusive country house hotel.

The property was extended some years ago when a superb and most impressive new sitting room was formed which opens onto the private gardens which enjoy sea glimpses into the bay. This lovely room has a high vaulted ceiling with limed exposed beams and fine old Minster stone fireplace with open hearth. Within a short car journey of St Marychurch and Torquay Town Centre, the property is also well placed for access to Newton Abbot and Teignmouth with a regular bus service available at the top of the road running to the Torquay Town Centre and Exeter.
