4 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

The Property
Nestled in the heart of the charming and highly sought-after village of South Pool, Herons is a beautifully presented Grade II listed home full of warmth, history, and original character. Believed to be one of the oldest properties in the village, and formerly used as the village shop, this delightful four-bedroom cottage offers generous accommodation arranged with a careful blend of traditional features and modern comforts. Set within stunning gardens that back onto open farmland and located just moments from the peaceful creek and slipway, the property enjoys a superb position in one of the South Hams’ most picturesque locations.

The ground floor includes a spacious and welcoming sitting and dining room with a dual aspect, allowing natural light to fill the space. Exposed beams, timber lintels, and a stable-style door enhance the rustic charm, while the generous proportions make it ideal for entertaining or relaxing with family. The kitchen is well fitted with a range of classic units and integrated appliances, complemented by attractive terracotta flooring and practical workspace. A separate shower room on the ground floor adds convenience for guests or busy family life.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress. The light-filled landing, with skylight and built-in shelving, leads to four individually styled bedrooms, including a lovely dual-aspect principal suite with exposed beams and its own modern en-suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms and a single room provide flexibility for family, guests, or use as a home office. A family bathroom with bath, shower, and pine-panelled detailing completes the first-floor accommodation. Throughout the home, thoughtful design and preservation of period features ensure an authentic cottage feel, without compromising on modern comfort.

Outside
Outside, the garden is a particular highlight. Immediately behind the house, a slate-paved courtyard offers space for practical use, including the oil tank and boiler cupboard. Steps rise to a beautifully tended garden, largely laid to lawn and edged with mature plants and shrubs including Magnolia and Camellia. A broad paved terrace provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining and entertaining, while a timber summer house or studio at the top of the garden offers further possibilities as a retreat, hobby room or home office. From the upper levels, the views stretch over the village rooftops to the surrounding countryside, creating a wonderful sense of peace and privacy.

South Pool is renowned for its natural beauty, timeless charm, and vibrant community spirit. Surrounded by rolling countryside and tidal creeks, the village sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is just a short distance from Salcombe and Kingsbridge. It offers a tranquil lifestyle with easy access to coastal walks, hidden beaches, and a thriving sailing scene. The award-winning Millbrook Inn is a focal point of the village, and the ancient parish church adds to the historic atmosphere. With access to a wide range of amenities, outdoor pursuits, and some of the most scenic landscapes in the South West, this is a truly special place to call home.

Herons represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of exceptional character and charm in one of Devon’s most desirable locations. Freehold. Council Tax Band: F. EPC: E.
