Property code: 88680

This stunning contemporary bungalow boasts stunning waterside views overlooking the Teign estuary and sea and has been tenderly furnished to provide a spacious and relaxing romantic couples retreat.

This stunning contemporary bungalow boasts striking waterside views of the Teign estuary and the sea and has been tenderly furnished to provide a relaxing romantic couples retreat. The property benefits from a raised position above the unspoilt village of Shaldon (0.5 miles) on the South Devon coast, across the Teign Estuary opposite the town of Teignmouth (2 miles). A short 0.5-mile walk to Shaldon Beach offers a gently sloping mix of sand and shingle or less than a mile away is Ness Cove Beach, accessed via an original Smugglers tunnel. Shaldon Zoo is 0.5 miles away, adjacent to a fabulous pub. Shaldon’s Botanical Gardens are just a few steps away from the property and nearby are some great local eateries. Alternatively, travel to Teignmouth on the oldest passenger ferry in England where there are various cafés, restaurants, and bars, as well as traditional seaside entertainment to enjoy.

This entirely characterful property has been playfully updated to feature a nautical theme yet doesn’t scrape on comfort and style with contemporary interiors and up-to-date appliances. Inside you’ll find an open-plan lounge/diner with a cosy wood burner, comfortable sofa, and Smart TV setting you up with everything you need to curl up in front of your favourite movie. Relax in the grand armchairs and read a book or, if needed, catch up on some work at the antique reclaimed wood desk. At the rear of the room, there is a lovely table and chairs for sitting down to a romantic meal with the sea views in the distance. The kitchen is well equipped with appliances and limited edition Denby dinnerware adds an elevated finish to your stay. To the rear of the property is a stylish wetroom boasting a beautiful rainfall shower and WC. Completing this wonderful couples retreat is the king-size bedroom with a free-standing bath adjacent to the bed, both offering waterside views. A hidden vanity area with lights creates an unrivalled space for getting ready, and the ample storage space will also come in handy. Whether you decide to relax in a bubble bath or snuggle up in bed you can spend the evening star gazing from the comfort of the bedroom.

Outside the bliss continues, with two large Easter Island Head water features and decked patio space with table and chairs. Dine alfresco and relax with the beautiful uninterrupted views. A BBQ area and outside garden hose are available should the sandy beach wear need a quick blast-off.

We have just returned from a weeks stay at Con Mar. The property was everything we had hoped for and more, very comfortable and to a very high standard. The M&S welcome pack & the gin & tonic were a nice surprise. The view across the bay to Teignmouth is stunning. Hope this will not be our last visit to Con Mar.
