Midships Hope Cove Overview
Perched in an enviable position above the picturesque shores of Hope Cove, Midships is a truly special coastal retreat, where breathtaking sea views, spectacular sunsets and beautifully relaxed living come together to create an unforgettable escape on the South Devon coast.
Occupying a wonderful position within the characterful Old Colonial House, Midships enjoys uninterrupted panoramic views stretching across the sparkling waters of Hope Cove and out towards the endless horizon. With its glorious west-facing aspect, the ever-changing seascape provides a captivating backdrop throughout the day, before the evening sky transforms into a magical display of golden hues as the sun slips gently beneath the horizon.
At the heart of this charming home is the wonderfully spacious, open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, thoughtfully designed for bringing family and friends together. The beautifully equipped kitchen, complete with a comforting Aga, is a delight for leisurely breakfasts and delicious home-cooked suppers, while the generous dining space invites long, lingering meals accompanied by those mesmerising sea views. As the evenings draw in, the cosy wood-burning stove creates a wonderfully inviting atmosphere, perfect for curling up with a glass of wine after a day exploring the coast.
Step outside onto the magnificent 40-foot private terrace and discover what makes Midships so extraordinary. With its elevated position and sweeping views across the bay, this is a truly magical spot for morning coffee, lazy afternoons soaking up the sunshine and alfresco dining as the sun sets over the water. Fire up the barbecue, pour something chilled and simply enjoy the beauty of this spectacular coastal setting.
When it's time to retreat, two generously proportioned bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, offer welcoming and comfortable spaces to unwind. Perfectly suited to couples enjoying a peaceful seaside escape or families making precious holiday memories, Midships combines the charm of a much-loved coastal home with all the comforts needed for a wonderfully relaxing stay.
Practical touches have been thoughtfully considered too, with a separate utility room, private parking for up to two cars and a warm welcome for four-legged friends, making this an effortlessly easy escape for the whole family.
And with the South West Coast Path quite literally on your doorstep, adventure is never far away. Wander down to the sandy beaches, charming pubs and delightful eateries of Hope Cove, or spend your days discovering the hidden coves and breathtaking scenery of the South Devon coastline.
Whether it's barefoot summer days, windswept coastal walks or cosy evenings beside the fire, Midships is a place to slow down, reconnect and savour the simple pleasures of life by the sea, all with a view you'll never forget.
