Ringmore Garden House
2499 is no longer with usIf you were looking for cottages like Ringmore Garden House, how about trying these:
Drive along the Teign estuary from the waterside village of Shaldon to this gorgeous house, completed in December 2011. Ringmore Garden House is built into the side of a hill with views of the water, vast – and we do mean vast – amounts of space, two terraces and a sheltered garden (take care with children around the covered pond). The huge kitchen/diner certainly has the ‘wow’ factor. There are views of the water and there is a four oven gas Aga available from 1st January to 4th April and 4th October to 31st December (please give the Owners 48 hours notice if you wish to use the Aga). This very well-equipped room is oh-so-stylish; gleaming black granite work surfaces, a central island, an electric oven, gas hob, combination microwave, modern kitchen units and a table large enough to sit around and linger over a meal. The neighbouring Owner runs Aga cookery courses and can sometimes provide Aga-cooked meals or a cream tea to enjoy in the garden – you might even want to try one of the courses during your stay (48 hours’ notice required – prices on application). The sitting-room is enormous with leather sofas and cream carpets, and the television-room has a 50” television and Blu-ray DVD player. With the sitting-room leading out to an enclosed terrace and a garden-room (accessed by a few steps) with doors to a second terrace, there is certainly plenty of room to relax and get into holiday mode. The bedrooms are downstairs, each with contemporary en suite bath or shower-rooms. There is also a laundry-room and an internal door to the games-room. Shaldon has its own small beach and the delights of the south Devon coast are within easy driving distance. So for that special occasion or just because you want a treat, Ringmore Garden House will be perfect.
