Cheldon, Luxury bungalow with stunning sea views in Challaborough, Bigbury-on-Sea, South Hams

Location, Location! Challaborough, close to Bigbury-on-Sea in the South Hams is the most wonderful place to spend a week or 2 and we have the perfect holiday property for you.

Cheldon is a large bungalow seconds away from the beach. Sleeping up to 8 in 3 bedrooms and a sofa bed in the main house and a further 4 in a separate annex, it has plenty of room for young, old and everyone in between! From the large glass fronted kitchen/ lounge/ diner, you can sit and enjoy the glorious views of the beach and all the way over to Burgh Island, made famous by Agatha Christie. Whatever the weather, the views are wonderful. With parking for 4 cars, an EV Charging Point and a large front facing patio, perfectly placed to absorb the wonderful views, this really is the most idyllic spot to rest, recuperate, swim, paddle or surf.

A wonderful seaside property which is ideal for the beach or for those that want to explore all that the South Hams has to offer including direct access on to the South Devon coastal path which is literally 70 metres away.

Challaborough Beach is a sheltered horseshoe cove with a beautiful, sandy beach and rugged cliffs as a backdrop, in the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The beach is great for adults and children.  At low tide, rock pools are exposed allowing both children and adults alike, the chance to get close to the marine life that lives around the shore. The beach is ideal for surfing with fantastic surfing conditions, created by a combination of the beach’s shape and sand banks, making it popular with surfers and body-boarders. With views of nearby Burgh Island, and hilly stretches of the South West Coast Path climbing out of the bay on either side, this natural unassuming cove is a little gem.

Park up on the driveway - smell the sea and literally fall onto the beach. It’s that close!
