Nestled amongst the much-photographed houses on the iconic Browns Hill is May Cottage. The sweet yellow exterior complimented by baby blue shutters is truly in-keeping with the rest of the pretty row on this ancient thoroughfare. May Cottage is aptly named as it is not only joyfully fresh on the outside, as we access through the large blue wooden front door, we are taken aback by how light and open the interior is.
A large, fully open plan kitchen / dining room opens before us. Whitewashed walls and pale shaker cabinetry showcase the baby blue aga. Honey-toned wooden worktops and the rustic engineered flooring warm the room while the current owner's fantastic antique furniture* finds give this space a very cool vintage vibe.
This theme is continued upstairs as we are drawn past the handy utility room and up a wooden staircase to the first floor and wow! A spectacular living room opens up before us. Once again, white walls and stripped floorboards allow period features to pop. Two beautiful original fireplaces take centre stage at either end of this wonderful space, providing great focal points and allowing the room to be zoned. Sash windows on all four aspects allow for light to flood into the space as well as points to enjoy views out over the rooftops of Dartmouth town and the verdant fields beyond. The sense of space, high ceilings and these pretty views give this lovely room the feeling of vintage parisian chic.
An open staircase cleverly divides the room and draws us up to the first of two bedrooms. These traditional garrett rooms, provide a stylish and cosy place to rest after fun busy days as well as providing even better views out over the town. The family bathroom - complete with a fabulous cast iron roll top bath - is also situated on this floor.
Wind back through the cottage and before we leave, take a quick peek at the handy downstairs loo, before drifting down a few steps and into the heart of vibrant Dartmouth.
There is a possibility of a garage being available by separate negotiation.
*Furniture or chandeliers are not included in the sale price but may be available for sale separately.

May Cottage is a very short walk from the thriving heart of Dartmouth, which has fantastic amenities that will keep the family content year-round on its doorstep. From Tudor buildings, arty side streets, brilliant restaurants and pubs, fresh seafood and of course, the Dart itself, you’ll never be short of things to do – or eat. Yachtsmen will be delighted by the local sailing facilities and the world-renowned Royal Regatta. On the town’s doorstep, you will find the South West Coastal Path and the South Devon aonb area, providing a huge range of walks with unbeatable scenery. You can also hop in a boat and explore Kingswear or take the kids or grandkids on the steam railway. Beach lovers will be unable to resist the pretty coves and the glorious dog and family-friendly coastline, which is a world-class attraction in its own right. Those with a romantic frame of mind will also be happy to know that Dartmoor is within easy reach of the town. The nearest educational institution is the Ofsted-rated 'Good' Dartmouth Academy, which is both a primary and secondary school. Across the water, Churston Ferrers Grammar School provides 11-18-year-olds with an Outstanding education.
Totnes Offers rail links across the country, including London Paddington . The A38 Devon Expressway, accessed at Buckfastleigh, provides quick links to Exeter and the rest of the county.
