Midships House Overview
In a truly enviable position overlooking the picturesque harbour and sweeping waters of Hope Cove, Midships House is a beautiful coastal retreat with some of the most captivating sea views in South Devon. Just a short stroll from the sandy beaches, charming village pubs and wonderful coastal walks, this spacious and welcoming home offers a rather special escape for families and friends seeking the simple pleasures of life beside the sea.
At the heart of the house is a wonderfully light-filled open-plan living space, where the kitchen, dining and sitting areas enjoy uninterrupted views across the bay. The beautiful Aga brings warmth and character to the kitchen, while comfortable sofas and a cosy wood-burning stove invite leisurely evenings after long days exploring the coast.
The superb private balcony terrace is undoubtedly one of Midships House's greatest treasures. Stretching across the front of the property, with glorious panoramic views of the harbour and open sea, it's a heavenly spot for morning coffee, long alfresco lunches and summer suppers as the sun slips towards the horizon. Watch the boats come and go, the changing colours of the water and those spectacular west-facing sunsets, perhaps with a glass of something chilled in hand.
Two generous bedrooms on the ground floor, each with its own en-suite bathroom, offer beautifully comfortable accommodation for families and friends. The added luxury of the upstairs apartment makes Midships House particularly special, with a large kingsize bedroom, private bathroom, its own kitchenette and a lovely seating area with fantastic sea views. Perfect for grandparents, another couple or friends who appreciate a little more independence and privacy, while still enjoying a wonderful holiday under one roof.
Beyond the house, the delights of Hope Cove are just moments away. Wander down for an early morning swim in the sheltered bay, spend lazy afternoons on the sand or follow the South West Coast Path for breathtaking walks along the cliffs. The village's much-loved pubs, cafés and restaurants are close at hand, making it wonderfully tempting to leave the car behind and settle into the gentle rhythm of coastal life.
With its extraordinary sea views, fabulous balcony terrace and the additional comfort and privacy of the upstairs apartment, Midships House is a truly special place to spend time with family and friends, enjoying everything that makes Hope Cove one of South Devon's most treasured seaside villages.
