Surrounded by far-reaching views of countryside and coast, this detached house is a wonderful base for a South Devon escape with family or friends. The colourful four-bedroom home, located within large gardens, is around 1.5 miles from the sandy shores of Hope Cove and 3 miles from Salcombe, a pretty seaside town where you can go sailing, kayaking and paddle boarding on the Kingsbridge Estuary.
Step inside via the impressive hallway, leading to a light-filled, open-plan kitchen/diner that’s the social heart of the house. There’s a feature Aga for looks along with a range-style electric cooker for cooking up feasts, to be enjoyed at the farmhouse table. You’ll also have a breakfast bar for perching with morning coffees. Doors open straight out to the mature garden, while a utility room and downstairs WC add extra practicality. The cosy snug sets you up perfectly for board games or TV time, along with a main lounge with a roaring open fire and Smart TV for relaxed evenings in. The sunroom is a real highlight, with glorious views and a formal dining table for special meals. Upstairs, four inviting bedrooms await: three king-size rooms and a flexible twin with zip-and-link beds that can become a super-king-size on request. All have en-suites to ensure everyone’s privacy and comfort. Outside, make the most of the fresh sea air in the enclosed garden, which has a patio for summer lunches, a BBQ for al fresco feasts and a lawn where children and dogs can play safely.
Hope Cove is ideal for beach days picnicking on the sand, exploring rockpools or swimming in clear turquoise waters. From here, you can join the South West Coast Path and head in either direction for scenic coastal walks. The sweeping National Trust beach at South Milton Sands is also 1.5 miles away on foot, or you can head toward the dramatic cliff-top scenery of Bolberry Down (3 miles). Salcombe is brimming with possibility, with independent shops, excellent seafood restaurants and a local gin distillery you can visit.
