SITUATION Goveton is a small hamlet of only a handful of properties in an idyllic location in the very heart of the South Hams yet at the same time just a few miles from Kingsbridge. Kingsbridge lies at the head of the Salcombe estuary and offers an excellent range of shops, local services and facilities. The beautiful South Devon coastline with its spectacular cliffs, coves and beaches are just a short drive away, as are the golf courses of Thurlestone and Bigbury and the famous sailing waters of Salcombe and Dartmouth. DESCRIPTION Although not listed, The Old School has had an interesting and varied history! Believed to date from over 200 years, it was built originally as a barn and then converted to a school in the late 1800s, during which time it was also used as a Sunday school room.
It was converted to a dwelling in the 1950s and now affords superbly presented accommodation of much character which is arranged over three levels. A particular feature of the property is the dual aspect sitting room, with a fitted multi-fuel stove and arched windows to the west elevation, whilst at lower ground floor level are bedrooms 3 and the 4th bedroom/study, a utility room and second bathroom and this part of the property could easily be used informally as an annexe, as it has been in the past.
