DESCRIPTION *INCREDIBLY SECLUDED & PEACEFUL WITH 1/3 ACRE WRAP AROUND GARDEN. A REAL GARDENERS PARADISE*
An extensive detached residence offering a large amount of versatile accommodation. Various reception rooms, home office, workshop/studio, timber outbuildings, garage and a large driveway. A MUST SEE!

Hide Hollow is a beautifully positioned, 1950s built, extended and much improved detached house. There is a reception hall with a galleried landing set above, providing a light and welcoming space. The sitting room is a particularly lovely room, having oak flooring and a log-burning stove. This space continues into a sun room area which opens to an under-cover external terrace, giving a great sense of inside/outside living. The spacious dining room is ideal for entertaining, while wonderful views of the mature gardens can be enjoyed from the particularly large, all-season garden room. The principal bedroom is set at lower ground floor level and is of a good size, also having a modern en-suite bathroom. There are two upper floor bedrooms, both with great views over the garden, and a modern family shower room. A further good sized bedroom opens to the outside and has a modern en-suite shower room. Amongst a number of relatively recent improvements to Hide Hollow are increased insulation, upgraded double glazing, a 2020 installed gas boiler, and there are owned photovoltaic panels which feed into three storage batteries. The outside spaces are a particular delight with Hide Hollow sitting in a sheltered and extremely private position adjoining Ringmore brook. The gardens are really something quite special, being a Devon Wildlife Trust recognised wildlife friendly garden and with a wide variety of birds, butterflies, moths, bumblebees, dragon flies, damsel flies and other insects being regularly spotted within the grounds. There are sweeping lawns, numerous fruit trees, various specimen trees, hedging plants, herb gardens and a nature pond. A driveway provides extensive parking, there is a useful external workshop/studio, a large garage with an electric door and a car port/external entertaining area beside. In addition there is a cedar summerhouse, sheds and beautiful external entertaining terraces. 

LOCATION Shaldon nestles beautifully between the sandy estuary beach and the pretty hills above. Its strong sense of community is evidenced in its many organisations, including sailing and rowing clubs. The annual regatta and water carnival are well supported, and the annual Shaldon Festival brings people from far and near to enjoy world-class musicians performing over 4 summer evenings. There are independent shops and cafes, a good selection of public houses and restaurants and a charming foot passenger ferry across to the seaside town of Teignmouth. Additional amenities include an Ofsted-rated 'Outstanding' primary school, the Ness House Hotel and a bowling green surrounded by pretty cottages. There is good walking on the south west coast path, and the wonderful Ness Beach is accessed via a tunnel close to the small zoo. Teignmouth is just over a mile away with its lovely promenade, classic Georgian crescent, and pier. The town's range of primary and secondary education options includes Trinity School. Teignmouth also offers a mainline rail link to both London Paddington and London Waterloo.
