Back garden with patio, sitting out area and garden furniture. Private parking for 2 cars (Shared with owner). No smoking. Please note: No children.. Leighwood Cottage is a modern and quaint property, overlooking Occombe Woods. Through the entrance hallway, the bright, airy, and well-equipped kitchen is on your left. There is a very handy utility room opposite, where you will find a washer/ dryer and toilet facilities. The living/ dining room is next to the kitchen, sliding glass doors bring the outside in, leading you out and down the steps onto the rear patio area.

A peaceful space to sit, elevated above the treeline where you can enjoy the view whilst enjoying your morning coffee or an evening tipple with the setting sun. The path winds down through the garden and a gate leads you into the woodland, to enjoy gorgeous morning/afternoon strolls through the trees to relax and rejuvenate. The bedroom boasts a queen-sized bed and fitted wardrobes. The modern, ensuite bathroom benefits from a freestanding bath as well as a separate shower cubicle.

Leighwood Cottage is situated in a well-regarded area of Upper Preston and is located some 1.3 miles (a good healthy walk, or a couple of minutes drive), from the well-known Preston Sands and seafront greens. Preston is located just outside of the hustle and bustle of Paignton town, while still being close to link roads for travelling and exploring the rest of Torbay and the South Hams.

A favourite among locals is the nearby Occombe farm café, within easy walking distance (0.7 miles) up the road from the property, for a hearty breakfast/lunch. Another favourite is the Church House Inn, a traditional pub with a beamed ceiling and exposed stone wall, just a 5-minute drive away (1.5 miles), and serving great local food and drink. The closest pub is Ye Olde Smokey, which is a little over 1 mile away and is famous for its weekend carveries. Whatever your reason for visiting the area, this is a great base from where to start.

We stayed here for the week at Christmas.

We stayed here for the week at Christmas. Had a lovely time. So much to do in the area and only 5 min down to the seafront in the car, also a shop just down the road. Leighwood cottage is well equipped and spacious the bathroom was really nice with lovely views at the back, would be really nice in the summertime to sit. Leighwood cottage was home from home. Good communication with Sue the housekeeper. Thanks for a very enjoyable stay, would definitely book this property again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Leighwood Cottage.

We really enjoyed our stay at Leighwood Cottage. It's bright, airy and modern, and it has everything you need for a great stay. The cottage has fantastic views of the woods at the back, and a nice sun trap patio. It's very peaceful and relaxing with comfy furniture and bed. There was a lovely welcome pack which was very much appreciated. Sue was great at communicating instructions and we had a nice chat with the owner. It was a great location for us. We loved it! We've stayed in quite a few holiday homes over the years, and this one is up there at the top! We'd like to return in the near future.
