Salcombe sits near the mouth of the Kingsbridge Estuary, where the tides ripple in from Devon’s south coast to create a wonderful waterfront town. With a bustling shellfish industry, you can imagine the sorts of culinary delights you might experience during your stay, as well as traditional fish and chips, and even Michelin-rated eateries over the water in Kingsbridge. Ready to set sail? Just under half a mile from Salcombe Harbour (around a ten-minute walk) this garden apartment boasts shimmering vistas of the waters beyond. Set in a tasteful, modern building, we think you’ll be spending a lot of your time on the extensive private terrace. With glass-fronted balconies, you can take in the views while reclining on sun loungers with a cocktail in hand. After sunset, you can step inside for an aperitif before heading out to dinner. The living space is an inviting nest of cushy corner sofas, woollen throws, and wooden floors. Perfectly modern and rustic at the same time. Sophistication and elegance continue throughout the home, culminating in a superbly stylish dining space with a chunky timber bench and nautical colours – not that you’ll be dining in much.
