Newly refurbished large seaside home in South Devon, with five bedrooms and four bathrooms and lovely sea view
Our house is 102 years old and retains some period features like the hall and staircase and our high ceilings. However, we had it remodelled and refurbished in 2019/2020 and so it has many more modern touches, including triple glazing, a fabulous huge new kitchen and new bathrooms. We love the sea view from our house and garden and are sure you will enjoy it too. We can easily walk to the beach or to the shops or to the mainline train station in 5-10 minutes. We also have a bus stop just outside our garden wall.
Downstairs we have a formal sitting room with sofas and grand piano, plus a sea view. We watch TV in our snug, with its corner sofa and woodburning stove for colder evenings. We have a large utility room with washing machine and tumble drier. But the room we use the most is our kitchen with its lovely bright windows (including big patio doors leading on to a terrace outside), a window seat, small sitting area and big dining table. It has a big island unit and loads of workspace, as well as a sea view. The fridge freezer has an icemaker, we have a Quooker boiling water tap, both induction and gas hobs, convection and steam ovens plus a microwave and dishwasher.
Upstairs there are five bedrooms. Three of the five have their own private facilities. Bedroom 1 is big and very light, with three lots of windows and a sea view. It has a double bed and an en-suite bathroom with bath, separate shower, basin and WC. Bedroom 2 has a double bed, a sea view, and en-suite shower room with basin and WC. Bedroom 3 has a double bed and en-suite shower room with basin and WC.
Bedroom 4 has a double bed. Bedroom 5 has a single bed, although it also has a desk and we mainly use it as a study. There is also a family bathroom, with bath, bidet, basin and WC.
We normally park in the yard on the North side of the house, accessible via our electric gates. There is plenty of extra space for parking on our gravel driveway. We have a big garden, with a terrace and table and chairs facing south, outside the kitchen. We also have a small patio with table and chairs on the west side of the house which we call the gin and tonic patio as it catches the early evening sun. For children there is lots of room to run about and it is good for playing hide-and-seek but we would note that little ones would need to be supervised as the main gateway to the road is open.

We have arranged 2026 exchanges already for 27 May to 2 June (Kent, England) and for August (Bretagne, France). We would certainly consider swaps at other times this year, particularly around Easter, most of June, July and September. |

Sobre el vecindario
Teignmouth (pronounced 'Tinmuth') is a small seaside town of about 15,000 people and has a good range of local shops, including a couple of supermarkets. The beach is an easy walk away from our house (5-10 minutes) and there is also an open-air heated pool on the seafront, which we hope will be reopening in summer 2024. There is also a small hotel near our house which has a heated indoor pool available to non-residents. Teignmouth has a large and cute children's playground and a crazy golf course on the sea front. A little passenger ferry takes you across the river to the picturesque village of Shaldon with its stylish little cafes, pubs, a little zoo and the Ness Beach, accessed on foot via the Smugglers' Tunnel. There are opportunities for watersports and hiring of boats, kayaks, boards and wetsuits is possible.
Teignmouth is close to other seaside places like Dawlish and Torquay, about 30 minutes from Exeter, with its ancient cathedral and medieval underground passages and 45 minutes from Plymouth. On longish day trips it is easy to visit places like the Roman ruins at Bath and the world's first suspension bridge and first iron ship at Bristol or to Tintagel or the Eden Project in Cornwall.
Devon is a green and hilly county with a pretty coastline and good hill walking on Dartmoor. It attracts a lot of UK visitors for holidays. There are many historic places to explore including castles like Berry Pomeroy or Castle Drogo and historic houses like Killerton or Saltram, or Greenway, crime writer Agatha Christie's house near picturesque Dartmouth plus loads of other tourist attractions too, many of them providing fun for children, such as the South Devon Steam Railway, Woodlands Adventure Park or Pennywell Farm (especially geared for small children).
There are lots of places to eat out. A personal favourite of ours is Riverford Field Kitchen, in quiet countryside near pretty Totnes. The Field Kitchen is indoors but based in the heart of a large organic farm and has delicious food from the farm. It is popular but you can book ahead on the internet.

We had a really enjoyable stay - lots of space in the house and a lovely private garden with gorgeous pool. We could walk to the railway station in five minutes ( trains to Barcelona and Vik) and walk in ten minutes to a nice tapas restaurant. Very nice to deal with Anna and Xavi. We would warmly recommend. Anne and Tony
Sandra was charming from start to finish as we arranged and carried out our August 2024 exchange. Nothing was too much trouble, right down to giving us really helpful video instructions on how to look after the pool. The house is in a very quiet cul de sac only about five minutes’ walk from the Cathedral in the middle of Fulda. We could also walk to supermarkets. We were with our grandchildren aged 6 snd 4. They had a whale of a time. The house is very well set up for kids, with even a swing and climbing bars in one if the bedrooms! The big trampoline in the garden and football pitch complete with two goals were a lot of fun. We enjoyed local attractions, notably Wirgarten, the little zoo with super playground and cafe just outside Fulda and Kinder Akademie, a cute hands-on science museum for kids. Further afield ( with a couple of hotel nights away - and we very warmly recommend Karl August hotel In Nuremburg) we loved Nuremburg and Bamberg especially and the children thoroughly enjoyed PlayMobil Land. Thank you Sandra and Rainer, we love Germany even more now and we had a great holiday. You were terrific exchange partners and we wish you many more successful exchanges!
Ausgezeichnete Kommunikation im Vorfeld, Beschreibung entspricht exakt der Realität, das Haus und das Grundstück sind sogar noch viel schöner wie auf den Bildern zu erahnen. Alles war perfekt für uns vorbereitet.Tolle Tipps für die Region. Tolle Kommunikation auch während des Aufenthaltes zu allen Fragen.
We loved Louis and Ruth’s house in Highland, Utah, so spacious and beautifully furnished. It was great to drive their pretty new Toyota Outlander. We had a wonderful holiday, with a mixture of local sightseeing in the Salt Lake City area and a couple of side trips ( with hotel nights away from home) involving national parks. The real highlight was Yellowstone but we really enjoyed Grand Tetons and Arches and Canyonlands too. It was a treat to meet Louis and Ruth in person, as they came back just before we left. They were great guests and very respectful of our home. Thank you so much for a very memorable trip!

Our resident family consists just of Anne and Tony.
Our daughter, Kirstin, lives in Hertfordshire (north of London) and our son, Stewart, lives in Edinburgh. Kirstin is married to Andrew, now with two little daughters, Cordelia (will be 8 in February 2026) and Sienna (6 in June 2026), and Stewart is married to Lin. We enjoy the company of our family and they seem not to mind ours! We have enjoyed a number of exchanges with family along with us.
For August 2026 we have arranged a swap with our family coming along for some of the time. For other swaps this year it is likely just to be the two of us or maybe a couple of friends too.
We have no pets and prefer not to be trusted to look after any pets on exchange.
