Duck Cottage is a superb holiday home in the delightful waterside hamlet of Tuckenhay, just 10 minutes from Totnes. Right on the water's edge on the tidal Bow Creek, it's one of South Devon's prime spots for a self-catering holiday. Ceiling-height windows and French doors give sweeping views of the creek – as does the private patio. Perfect for couples - with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and private parking. Tuckenhay has two renowned waterside inns – ideal for a hearty meal after a country walk.
Accommodation:
The front door opens into the cosy living room, with a sofa and armchairs, TV and DVD player. The exposed beams give the room a real country cottage feel. The far end of the living room leads into the sunroom, a lovely light-filled room with French doors into the patio garden. The sunroom and patio overlook Mill Creek and are wonderful quiet spots to read or watch the birdlife on the river. At the back of the sunroom, there's a utility room where you will find the tumble drier and freezer.
The well-equipped kitchen-diner gives the classic country cottage theme continues throughout with tiled floor and exposed beams. The kitchen window offers views over the creek and is complete with an induction hob, oven, fridge, microwave, washing machine and dishwasher. The dining table seats four comfortably.
Glass-sided stairs lead up from the living room to the two bedrooms and two bathrooms. On the first floor is the first of the two bedrooms, a beautiful room with exposed beams overlooking the water. Furnished with a superking-size bed (which can be configured as two singles upon request at the time of booking). The family bathroom has a bath and an overhead shower also with views of the creek.
Upstairs again and there's the en-suite master bedroom with king-size bed and dual aspect views over the water. The house has central heating as well as underfloor heating on the ground floor.
Please be aware that, due to the proximity to the water, we do not feel this property is suitable for young children (over 12s and babies are welcome).
Outside:
The patio garden accessed from the sunroom is right on the water and has wrought-iron garden furniture. It's a truly lovely tranquil place to unwind at the end of the day.
Parking:
There is space to park at the front of the property.
Nearby:
A 5-minute walk will take you to two great waterside pubs: The Maltsters Arms and The Watermans Arms. Sharpham Vineyard is also within walking distance Ashprington village. Historic Totnes is a 10-minute drive, as is the closest beach, Blackpool Sands.
