Situation & Description
1 Staplake Mount Cottage is one of only three properties in an attractive courtyard setting on the rural edge of Starcross on the River Exe estuary in South Devon.
The village offers shops, inns, holiday accommodation, health and primary education whilst leisure options are diverse and include activities on, in or under the water with sailing, swimming and angling all available on the Exe Estuary or at Dawlish Warren.
The internal accommodation is more than just eye catching. It is the result of an imaginative design conversion incorporating high quality fixtures and fittings to create an outstanding home.
Potentially a first purchase, retirement home, holiday home or perhaps investment, the light, bright décor is further enhanced by an array of lighting combinations which are continued outside in the private walled and fenced courtyard.
For peace of mind, there is an alarm system and cameras available to monitor the property and creature comforts are enhanced by central heating and double glazing.
Viewing of this fine contemporary home is recommended by the Agents.
