Buddleia is a fabulous, well-furnished, modern holiday property of very generous size, superbly suited to a large family for summer holidays and family gatherings year-round. The owners have renovated it to a high standard to create a wonderful, detached home set in the village of West Charleton, between the riverside town of Kingsbridge and the wide expanse of beach at Slapton Sands, on the South Devon Coast. It has its own private gated driveway and large, enclosed, level, lawned garden - very secluded and south facing. Skirting the rear of the property is a large decked area with glass balustrade, table, seats 12, and steps down to the lawn. To the front is a small pebble Mediterranean-style patio area. This is a very family-friendly holiday home; the large kitchen/dining room forms the main hub of the house and with its large breakfast bar and bar stools, creates a good social area for cooking, chatting and dining. The separate living room features a 42in plasma TV and wood burner, ideal for cosy nights in during autumn and winter; in summer the large French doors can open up onto the decking. For children, there is an outdoor play area with a slide and swings. West Charleton lies on the A379 - one of the many villages en route from Kingsbridge to Dartmouth, and there is a local pub within easy walking distance. Within 20-30 minutes’ drive are many popular and well-loved locations in South Devon: the yachting haven of Salcombe, the rugged cliffs and tiny coves at Hope Cove and Thurlestone, Bantham Beach (popular with surfers), the busy market town of Kingsbridge, Totnes and Modbury, the famous beaches of Slapton Sands, working fishing village of Beesands, East Prawle - surrounded by National Trust coastline and close to the Start Point Lighthouse, the little sandy bays at East Portlemouth and the historic maritime town of Dartmouth. Shop ½ mile, pub within easy walking distance.

We had an amazing week, excellent property with everything you could wish for, plenty of space, lovely garden and delicious fruit scones with clotted cream and jam provided which were enjoyed by all.I would highly recommend this property and area for a lovely relaxing break, the weather was good and we spent two days on the beach at Salcombe and Broadsands.

Lovely house with spectacular views. The kitchen equipment was first class. The owners were very helpful. The garden was great for young children and adults alike.

We loved our holiday at Buddleia, it is a brilliant house and furnished to a very high specification. It has a lovely large garden with plenty of running around space and beautiful views over the countryside. The lovely town of Kingsbridge is a short drive away with plenty of independent shops and supermarkets. We visited the beach at Bantham which is about 5 miles away and great for small children - but beware the very narrow Devon roads and high hedges.
