Goodshelter

About this property

This outstandingly beautiful classic detached and predominantly thatched cottage is situated beside the creek at Goodshelter, a lovely hamlet on the edge of the Kingsbridge/Salcombe estuary. It is approximately one mile from the village of East Portlemouth, with ferry to Salcombe, in an idyllic location within two acres of unspoilt, partly wooded grounds. The garden borders the stream that runs into the creek and has areas of lawn with shrubs and an attractive pond.
