Good village houses don't come on the market very often, well not normally as good as this! You can walk to two pubs, the shop and the beach... idyllic.

  • Barn Cottage is situated in the heart of the pretty and highly desirable coastal village of Slapton. Slapton Sands, a gorgeous 3 mile long beach is about half a mile and the village has a bustling community with a village shop, two pubs, an active village hall and a 13th century church. The National Nature Reserve at Slapton Ley, a Site of Special Scientific Interest is located on the edge of the village and is the largest freshwater lake in the south west of England.
