DESCRIPTION
Sea View is an exquisite Grade II listed thatched cottage, nestled in the sought-after village of Ringmore. This unique home seamlessly blends the charm of an 18th-century period property with the sleek, contemporary design of a modern extension. Set within a third of an acre, the grounds feature enchanting gardens, a patio, wildflower beds, and a detached studio annexe. Just a short walk away, a garage with off-street parking adds further convenience. This versatile and characterful home is perfect for multi-generational living, or for those seeking a truly distinctive and striking property.

ACCOMMODATION
A charming porch opens into one of the two formal reception rooms in this unique cottage—currently used as a dining room—featuring a front-aspect window, decorative fireplace, painted ceiling beams, and oak flooring. Stairs rise to the first floor with storage beneath. To the left lies an inviting sitting room with two front-facing casement windows, a feature fireplace with inset burner, exposed beams, and matching oak flooring. At the rear of the ground floor, the contemporary extension creates a wonderful open-plan kitchen and living space. Folding doors lead out onto the patio, while an array of fitted units and a central island offer both style and functionality, all set on oak flooring. At one end of this stylish room is a further entrance hall, accessed from the side of the property, with a guest cloakroom and a superb utility room that also serves as a boot room and provides access to the garden.

The first-floor layout beautifully showcases the contrast between the cottage’s original charm and its modern extension, connected by a striking glass landing. At the top of the stairs is a characterful room currently used as a home office, which could serve as a fourth bedroom (STC). It features two front-aspect windows and exposed cross beams. Bedroom three, located in the original part of the cottage, offers a front aspect with two casement windows and two generous built-in storage cupboards. Across the glass landing are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom enjoys a stylish ensuite and a Juliet balcony, while bedroom two features a dual aspect with two Juliet balconies and glimpses of the sea. The contemporary bathroom is well-appointed with a bath, separate shower, WC, and basin.

ANNEXE STUDIO
The detached annexe sits within the beautifully landscaped gardens of this exceptional property. Timber-clad and full of character, it comprises a versatile studio space with office, kitchenette, and shower room. Double doors open onto a charming, decked terrace, bordered by hedging—perfect for alfresco dining or quiet relaxation.

OUTSIDE
The plot extends to approximately one-third of an acre, offering a variety of beautifully designed outdoor spaces. A paved patio with raised planters leads up to the annexe, creating a seamless connection between house and garden. To the right, a formal garden features an artificial lawn, gravelled paths, raised planted borders, and a stylish greenhouse. The remaining garden is rich in colour and texture, with established shrubs, wildflowers, a variety of trees, and a feature pond. A generous timber shed provides ample garden storage. The garage is located just a short walk away, with off-street parking in front.

LOCATION
Ringmore is an old smuggling village situated at the head of a beautiful valley off the south-west coast path with picturesque views over National Trust land to Bigbury Bay and Ayrmer Cove. The cove is about 15 to 20 minutes’ walking distance from the village with its secluded beach and stunning cliff-top walks.

In the thriving village itself is an award-winning 13th-Century pub The Journey’s End Inn, local church and a wide range of community clubs and societies. At St Ann’s Chapel there is a Post Office and well-stocked general store which offers a delivery service to the church. Five miles away is the Georgian town of Modbury, and the towns of Kingsbridge, Salcombe and Totnes are nearby. The city of Plymouth is 17 miles to the north west.

The village is well-served for schools with twice-daily school buses to Ivybridge, Kingsbridge, Modbury and Aveton Gifford, and local buses to Stover School and Plymouth's private schools. Nearby Bigbury-on-Sea has a large, popular surfing beach with classes and a children’s surf club provided by Discovery Surf School, as well as trips in the famed ‘sea tractor’ to Burgh Island with its Art Deco hotel and The Pilchard Inn. Salcombe and Newton Ferrers provide wonderful sailing and there are golf courses at Bigbury and Thurlestone. Dartmoor National Park to the north provides magnificent countryside for walking, cycling and wild camping.
