Sea Thatch is a Grade II listed thatched cottage, dating back to the early 1700s, and one of the original homes in the charming village of Beesands. Set along the coastal frontline, this quintessential Devon chocolate-box cottage presents a rare opportunity to own a characterful home in an exceptional setting.
The cottage has been thoughtfully updated to balance period charm with contemporary comfort. Interiors are well proportioned and beautifully arranged, offering a calm, homely feel throughout. From exposed beams and original details to modern fittings and finishes, the design reflects a considered approach to heritage and lifestyle.
A formal front entrance leads into the main living room, which in turn provides access to the principal bedroom suite. There is also a second entrance, currently used as the main access by the current owners, which leads directly into the kitchen and dining room. A hallway connects the spaces and includes built-in storage and a discreet utility area. The ground floor comprises two well-proportioned bedrooms. One features an en suite shower room and French doors opening onto the lower courtyard, while the second is currently used as a home office and includes an en suite bathroom. A third bedroom is accessed via its own private staircase and also benefits from an en suite shower room. This room opens directly onto the upper courtyard and is currently used as a second living room, offering excellent flexibility to suit changing needs-ideal as a guest suite, additional lounge, or work-from-home space. The principal bedroom is a true retreat. It enjoys sea views, built-in wardrobes, and a luxurious en suite bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower.
Externally, Sea Thatch benefits from two private, low-maintenance courtyard spaces - perfect for outdoor dining and relaxing. A further garden area is located at the rear, while parking is available directly in front of the property, with additional spaces nearby. Just steps from the beach, local pub, and eateries, this property is perfectly positioned for a relaxed coastal lifestyle. The South West Coast Path runs right past the door, making it ideal for walkers, nature lovers, and anyone seeking the charm and simplicity of coastal Devon living.
Sea Thatch is in close proximity to the Cricket Inn pub and the Britannia Inn, known for its delectable fish options. Beesands offers a mile-long shingle beach and scenic southwest coastal walks leading to historic Hallsands and Torcross. A short 30-minute drive opens up access to the market towns of Kingsbridge or Dartmouth, where supermarkets, petrol stations, and a variety of shops and eateries can be found. The nearby village of Torcross is a short drive from Beesands. It is set in a beautiful stretch of the South Devon coastline and is positioned at the end of a three-mile stretch of beach known as Slapton Sands. Enclosed and protected by the beach, is a large freshwater lake and bird sanctuary known as The Ley which provides a popular spot for walkers and naturalists alike. Torcross has a popular inn and restaurants together with a nearby farm shop that specialises in growing and selling home grown produce.
