The village is just a few minutes walk from the unspoilt two-mile stretch of Slapton Sands beaches, alongside the internationally famous Slapton Ley Nature Reserve with its extensive lake, woodland walks and Field Studies Centre and the surrounding area is known for its spectacular natural beauty.
It is believed that Fuchsia Cottage is over 100 years old and was originally two cottages. In recent years, it has been tastefully renovated and updated whilst at the same time retaining its original charm. The cottage is beautifully presented throughout and would be ideal as a permanent home or alternatively a great holiday home and is currently a successful and popular holiday let.
