A charming Grade II listed former toll house, set in 21 acres of gently sloping paddocks and a fabulous garden with sea views
Turnpike Cottage is a charming, Grade II listed former toll house, full of period features. The ground floor offers a well-equipped kitchen / dining room with a range of integrated appliances including an electric oven and hob, washing machine, dishwasher and space for a fridge freezer. The stable door leading to the terrace is a lovely feature and provides convenient access for al fresco dining. The triple aspect sitting room is full of character with an oak floor, window seats and a stunning feature stone fireplace with inset wood burner. There is also a double bedroom with oak floor and window seat and a utility / boot room on the ground floor. Stairs rise to the first floor landing which offers views over the countryside to the sea and a window seat from which to enjoy them. The first floor also offers a double aspect principal bedroom, again with window seat and similar views. There is a further double bedroom with en suite shower room and a family bathroom on this floor.
Immediately outside the kitchen is a fabulous terrace complete with pond and a lovely seating area. There is also a stone built log store and a detached garage with electric up and over door and power. The rear garden is largely laid to lawn with mature shrubs as well as a terraced area which currently houses a hot tub. There are views across the fields to the sea in one direction and towards the village in the other. Turnpike Cottage is beautifully flanked to the east and west by two paddocks and a further smaller paddock at the top, which extend in total to around 21 acres. Currently there is moveable timber built stabling for horses.

Living in the village myself, I know just what a great location this is and the views from the top field of Slapton Ley is just exquisite!
