Full Description

Steeped in history, Minadab Cottage is a distinguished Grade II listed home built in 1820 for Commander Robert Benjamin Young of the Royal Navy, who celebrated for his service at the Battle of Trafalgar. Constructed in the charming cottage orné style, the property features rendered elevations, leaded light windows, and a traditional Devon thatched roof.

Formerly operated as a highly rated Bed & Breakfast, Minadab Cottage offers beautifully presented and versatile accommodation, rich in character and period charm. The welcoming reception hall opens into a panelled dining room, a cosy snug, and a spacious sitting room with lovely sea views. The large kitchen is fitted with a modern range of units and leads to a generous cellar with natural light-ideal for additional storage or hobby space.



The master bedroom suite is a standout feature, opening onto a large roof terrace with delightful sea views, and complemented by a dressing room and luxury en-suite bathroom. This bedroom has the potential to be a self-contained Airbnb space for extra income, either sharing a kitchen with the main house, or converting the utility space into a kitchenette.

There are four further bedrooms-three with en-suite shower rooms, one conveniently located on the ground floor, and a fifth bedroom/study with an en-suite WC.



Externally, Minadab Cottage enjoys attractive and well-maintained gardens, with a charming veranda wrapping around the front to a sunny side terrace. The grounds have been landscaped for ease of maintenance, with mature borders and seating areas perfect for outdoor enjoyment. A large driveway provides ample parking, part of which could be reimagined as garden space, and an up-and-over door gives access to a spacious garage.

Annex Potential

As touched upon above, the property offers exciting potential for a self-contained annex, perfect for multi-generational living or a boutique holiday let. With its own entrance and access, the existing utility room could be sensitively converted into a compact kitchenette, creating an independent living space for guests or extended family. The layout lends itself beautifully to private accommodation, while maintaining the character and charm that define Minadab Cottage.

Bed & Breakfast Potential

With its rich history, period charm, and spacious layout, Minadab Cottage is ideally suited to operate once again as a boutique Bed & Breakfast. Its welcoming atmosphere, five beautifully appointed bedrooms (four en-suite), and lovely sea views make it an appealing destination for visitors exploring South Devon’s coastline. The proximity to Teignmouth, Holcombe, and the beach, along with ample parking and inviting outdoor areas, provides the perfect setting to revive this much-loved and highly rated B&B business.

Devon Thatch

Minadab Cottage is particularly special for its beautiful Devon thatch - a quintessential feature of the region that adds timeless charm and character to the property. The thatch not only enhances the cottage’s historic appeal but also contributes to its unique place within the local landscape. For those unfamiliar with owning or maintaining a thatched home, we’d be delighted to offer guidance or put you in touch with local experts who can provide advice and ongoing support.

Location

Nestled on the edge of the charming seaside town of Teignmouth, Minadab Cottage enjoys an idyllic coastal setting just over a mile from the beach and bustling promenade. Guests can stroll along a nearby footpath through Mules Park, taking in sea views on the way to the waterfront, or wander down a quiet country lane to the pretty village of Holcombe, where Smugglers Lane leads to its hidden beach.
