This 250-year-old thatched cottage will charm you from the get-go. It's tucked down a winding lane surrounded by rolling countryside, sandwiched between Hope Cove and Salcombe. There's no doubt the location is impressive, but we reckon the home is even better. The garden is the epitome of outdoor living, with a bubbling hot tub, a summerhouse, and a panoramic terrace. You can toast marshmallows around the fire pit, or when the weather turns, head inside to the drawing room and get cosy in front of the fire. The cherry on top is the shepherd's hut, where a lucky couple can unwind in total privacy. No wonder English Home Magazine deemed it a 'must-stay' on the Devon coast.

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. Within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Salcombe is arguably the prettiest...
