Characterful and bright, this home is situated along three miles of the shingled beaches in Torcross. Originally constructed in the 1800s to house horse-drawn carriages, it's been renovated to retain the original charm and features, such as the exposed roof timbers in the living area. We love how welcoming the space feels, with sofas you want to sink into and a smart kitchen for rustling up Devon-inspired cuisine of your own. Share breakfast around the dining table before heading out for a day in the sun – this home is just metres from the beach. Stretch out on the shores of Slapton Sands while kids splash in the calm waters. When you're feeling peckish, pop home for lunch or grab a bite at one of the quaint eateries and pubs along the shore. Dartmouth and Kingsbridge aren't far – both a twenty-minute drive – if you'd like to pick up the pace and explore more of the South Devon Coast, but there's a quiet charm to the sleepy village of Torcross that we adore. It's perfect for families wanting a more laid-back, seaside getaway.

About Salcombe
Anyone who considered buying a property in Salcombe in the ‘80s and changed their mind will be rueing their decision.

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...
