A cosy barn conversion in the heart of Galmpton
Discover this characterful stone barn conversion, surrounded by lush gardens and nestled on the fringes of the picturesque village of Galmpton. This inviting hideaway offers a comfortable base for families or groups of friends holidaying with up to three furry pals in tow. Admire glistening vistas of the River Dart as you saunter past the pastel houses perched atop the rocky outcrop of Kingswear (5 miles), before tucking into an al fresco afternoon tea on the patio surrounded by a leafy garden oasis.
This bungalow features a warm cottage interior with exposed stone detailing, earthy tones, and bright rooms. Park up in the gravel courtyard then step through the front door into the inviting lounge. Throw open the patio doors and embrace the balmy summer breeze as sink onto the comfortable sofas with a tipple. Scope out the sunny kitchen and prepare an indulgent supper for the hungry troops or shake up some pre-dinner drinks. Feast bathed in the natural light streaming from the conservatory windows then lounge on the large leather sofa with a sweet treat or nightcap. As the night draws in, rest up in the three bedrooms consisting of an en-suite king-size, a super-king-size zip-and-link, and a bunk room for the little ones. Get lunch sizzling on the BBQ in the sprawling shared garden.
Discover the delights of Brixham (3 miles) and bound aboard the life-size ship replica bobbing in the harbour or glide through the open-air saltwater pool. While away the hours on the shingly golden crescent of beach at Blackpool Sands (9 miles), or venture through the lush pine woodland backing the beach. Soak in some nostalgic seaside charm with an amble along Paignton Pier (4 miles) as you scoff a bag of piping hot chips.

Beautuiful setting. Lovely large bungalow.
Mr Spiller
The Chestnuts is a lovely, comfortable bungalow sufficiently large to host six people with ease. The garden lends itself to eating out, playing garden games and for dogs to do ‘zoomies’! It is a great base for a coastal/River Dart holiday.
