Nearby sandy beaches and green rolling countryside provide ideal settings for peaceful walks or gatherings with loved ones. A brief stroll from Kingsbridge town centre leads to amenities such as a public boating pontoon, libraries, pharmacies, cafes, newsagents, an art gallery, and various shops, all surrounding the beautiful waterside Quay area.
Boasting excellent transport links, our home is just a few minutes' walk from Kingsbridge Bus Station, offering routes to Plymouth, Salcombe, Dartmouth, and Totnes, as well as a free weekly bus to the willows at Torquay.
