Leighwood Cottage is perfect for a romantic getaway.

Leighwood Cottage is perfect for a romantic getaway. You can take a trip to the sea-side, explore Preston Sands and take in all that South Devon has to offer.. All on the Ground Floor:

Living/dining room:

Kitchen: Electric Oven, Gas Hob, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher

Utility Room: Washer Dryer, Toilet

Bedroom: Queen Bed Ensuite: Bath, Cubicle Shower, Heated Towel Rail, Toilet

Bathroom: Bath, Cubicle Shower, Heated Towel Rail, Toilet. Gas central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Welcome pack. Back garden with patio, sitting out area and garden furniture. Private parking for 2 cars (Shared with owner). No smoking. Please note: No children.. Leighwood Cottage is a modern and quaint property, overlooking Occombe Woods. Through the entrance hallway, the bright, airy, and well-equipped kitchen is on your left. There is a very handy utility room opposite, where you will find a washer/ dryer and toilet facilities. The living/ dining room is next to the kitchen, sliding glass doors bring the outside in, leading you out and down the steps onto the rear patio area.

A peaceful space to sit, elevated above the treeline where you can enjoy the view whilst enjoying your morning coffee or an evening tipple with the setting sun. The path winds down through the garden and a gate leads you into the woodland, to enjoy gorgeous morning/afternoon strolls through the trees to relax and rejuvenate. The bedroom boasts a queen-sized bed and fitted wardrobes. The modern, ensuite bathroom benefits from a freestanding bath as well as a separate shower cubicle.

Leighwood Cottage is situated in a well-regarded area of Upper Preston and is located some 1.3 miles (a good healthy walk, or a couple of minutes drive), from the well-known Preston Sands and seafront greens. Preston is located just outside of the hustle and bustle of Paignton town, while still being close to link roads for travelling and exploring the rest of Torbay and the South Hams.

A favourite among locals is the nearby Occombe farm café, within easy walking distance (0.7 miles) up the road from the property, for a hearty breakfast/lunch. Another favourite is the Church House Inn, a traditional pub with a beamed ceiling and exposed stone wall, just a 5-minute drive away (1.5 miles), and serving great local food and drink. The closest pub is Ye Olde Smokey, which is a little over 1 mile away and is famous for its weekend carveries. Whatever your reason for visiting the area, this is a great base from where to start.
