The development

One of South Devon's most prestigious coastal addresses

Perched above the dramatic red cliffs between Dawlish and Teignmouth, Shell Cove is a private gated community that has become synonymous with striking architecture and an enviable coastal lifestyle.

Following the success of the earlier phases, Dart & Partners, in conjunction with Poppy Developments, are delighted to release the final collection of homes. Set within four acres of landscaped grounds framed by mature maritime pines, residents enjoy private access to a secluded sandy beach, a privilege seldom associated with modern residential developments, together with direct access to the South West Coast Path.

Whether it is a morning walk along the cliffs, launching a kayak or paddleboard from the privately accessed shoreline, or an evening on the balcony watching the light change over the sea, this is a lifestyle rarely found in the South West.

Why Shell Cove

Everything a coastal home should have, and a beach on the doorstep

Designed for permanent residents, second home owners and anyone who wants the sea to be part of every day.

Private beach access

A private pathway winds down through the cliffs to a secluded sandy beach, reached only from the development or by boat.

Prestigious gated setting

Secure entrance, sweeping communal grounds and the privacy of a clifftop community of just a few dozen homes.

Balconies and terraces

Open plan living with extensive glazing, frameless balconies and private outside space framing the sea.

Garages and EV charging

Integral garages, driveway parking and EV ready charging points on every home.

Gigabit fibre broadband

Superfast full fibre and SMART remote controlled heating, so working from the coast is effortless.

Around 2,400 sq ft

Two house styles, Type 1 and Type 2, both arranged over three levels with four bedrooms.

Italian kitchens and bathrooms

Designer kitchens with Bosch appliances, Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware and Italian porcelain tiling.

Semi passive eco credentials

Air source heat pumps and a semi passive specification for low running costs all year round.

10 year warranty
