| The Lodge | Believed to have originally been built in 1836, this former lodge house has undergone a comprehensive, yet sympathetic, programme of extension and renovation in recent years and now provides spacious, well proportioned accommodation retaining some character features, typical of its era. The property would suit a variety of requirements including a long term family home, as it has been for the last 25 years, or a low-maintenance holiday home full of character and conveniently located to explore Smuggler's beach and the rest of South Devon. The Lodge is offered with no onward chain! Holcombe Drive is a private road conveniently located for a regular bus service, a coastal path (Smugglers Lane) and the two local inns, The Castle and The Smugglers.
