Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
We're absolutely smitten with this stone farmhouse. A treasure trove of charm, the interiors are the perfect blend of cosy and contemporary. Two separate lounges make excellent hang-out spots – both boasting log burners – and the soaker tubs upstairs are just the ticket after a long trek through the countryside. We're especially fond of the garden, with its alfresco dining area flanked by olive trees, fire pit ideal for stargazing, and artist's studio in the old stable. It's nestled beside a 100-acre bluebell wood, where a wild river and walking trails provide prime dog walking spots. Fancy exploring further afield? Salcombe and Dartmouth aren't far by car, while Bantham Beach is a short drive away.

Anyone who considered buying a property in Salcombe in the ‘80s and changed their mind will be rueing their decision. The town seems to go from strength to strength and strength again, in both popularity and price point. Today’s residents are a well-heeled bunch, and in the summer months, you’ll find an equally upscale visiting crowd.
