Sweeping views of the estuary steal all the glory at this elegant home nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac of Salcombe. With a designated parking area for two cars, you can drop your bags and be strolling about the bustling shops and restaurants in no time here – the town’s centre is just five minutes from your door (or a tad longer coming back up the hill). Outside, a suntrap terrace is perfect for morning coffees or sundowners, and the yoga hut for those who like to keep up their practice is a nice touch.

Home truths
There is private parking for two cars at this home.
There are internal and external steps to access the entrance and garden, which may be unsuitable for guests with limited mobility.
A travel cot is available, but this property cannot accommodate stair gates.
Although this property does not accept dogs, a dog has been in this home previously, meaning it may not be suitable for people with severe allergies.
One of the bedrooms has a king-sized bed which can be made into twins if you prefer.
While the outdoor seating area isn’t photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
Please note the yoga hut is fairly narrow and those with a broad reach may find it a little tight.
