Devon Road, Salcombe

Salcombe is one of the most sought after addresses on Devon’s south coast and for good reason; the town is situated on the Kingsbridge and Salcombe Estuary, flanked by the glorious rolling countryside of the South Hams and is renowned for its micro climate which makes it an ideal place for year round living.

Salcombe offers two sandy beaches, North Sands and South Sands and a short boat trip across the water to East Portlemouth provides access to a long sandy beach with hidden coves backed by woodland and coastal paths.

Merchants House is in a much sought-after location, out of the hustle and bustle, yet just a few minutes walk of the many restaurants, pubs and boutique shops.

Built towards the end of the 19th Century, this handsome villa is on the lower end of Devon Road within a very short walk of the town centre. The house has superbly proportioned contemporary accommodation with some beautiful period features.

The L-shaped open plan kitchen dining living room on the ground floor is an elegant space with high ceilings, deep skirting boards and sash windows, French doors off the bespoke Andrew & Albert kitchen lead out to the garden. There is also a snug and utility / cloakroom on this floor.

On the first floor are 3 bedrooms, one of which is en-suite, and the others share a family bathroom with free-standing bath and separate shower. The top floor is set up as a dormitory with 4 single beds and a bathroom.

There is a well appointed self-contained apartment on the lower ground floor which could, if desired, and subject to any necessary consents, be incorporated into the main house.

Delightful gardens at the rear have been landscaped for ease of maintenance and provide perfect areas for sunbathing, summer entertaining and barbecues. There is also parking for numerous vehicles.

Available by separate negotiation is a stone building with planning permission for a detached dwelling with garden and parking. The new build is not required to be ancillary to Merchants House and has a clean title, making it suitable as a permanent or second home with holiday letting potential.

The property has an established and highly successful holiday letting history and rental figures are available on request.

DIRECTIONS

On entering Salcombe from Kingsbridge turn left at the first crossroads into Onslow Road. Follow this road towards the bottom of the hill and as it bends towards the church, take a very sharp right hand turn into Devon Road. Merchants House will be found about 100 meters along on the right hand side.
