If you were looking for cottages like Quick’s End, how about trying these:

Found in the small South Hams village of Beeson, only a half-mile down a steep lane from the beach at Beesands and the coastal footpath, detached Quick’s End is believed to date from the 17th Century. This quirky cottage has small windows, one or two low lintels and narrow, steep stairs. The sitting-room has a multi-burner, ideal for out-of-season visits, and there is a small second sitting-room which doubles as a study. The kitchen/diner has pine furnishings, including an old dresser. But the best thing about this cottage is the grounds. As well as the front garden, there is also an enormous sloping grassed but wilder area (with a small stream), where children can run around to their hearts’ content.
