Description
Reed Cottage is an 18th-century cottage situated on a corner site, accessed by a flight of steps. The exterior is roughcast, and the roof is thatched. The cottage has two casement windows. An iron railing encloses the steps. It is one of the few surviving houses that predate Dawlish’s development as a resort.
