This house looks unassuming – don’t be fooled. Inside is a ‘wow’ interior. Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and set into a steep hillside, Travers has an extensive, architect-designed, open-plan living area on three levels.

The top gallery has French doors leading onto the back terrace, garden and orchard. Below is an elegant dining area and fully fitted kitchen and, three steps down from that, more sitting space around an open fire.

There’s a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom on the ground floor and two further bedrooms, one double and one with three beds - and a large bathroom - on the first floor. Add in a large utility room with washing machine, separate dryer, second fridge – and a small wc and basin, tucked under the stairs – and you have it.

Total tranquillity, just birdsong and sheep for company but 5 minutes’ walk down the lane and you reach Noss Mayo village, picturesquely set on the Yealm river estuary.
