Beach End is situated on the banks of the River Dart, just a few miles down the road from our Devon yard.

The existing cottage was extended to add a large, open plan kitchen and dining room, with the east-facing glazed gable end allowing for panoramic views up and downstream in one of the most picturesque parts of the South Hams.

Being surrounded by water lent itself perfectly to a boathouse space, situated below the oak frame with slipway access to the water.
