Property Description
is a deceptively spacious and comfortably furnished holiday home with lovely gardens and delightful estuary views, located within the very heart of Salcombe. The accommodation (formerly two individual fishermans' cottages) is mostly divided over three levels and two 'wings' – it retains much of its original character but has been extensively refurbished and equipped in 2017 to a good 4-Star standard throughout. The cottage is ideally set up for extended family groups but would also suit 2-3 couples looking for a comfortable holiday retreat within a short walking distance of the town.Location The cottage is towards the top of Robinsons Row (essentially a wide pathway leading up from central Fore Street), offering immediate access to Salcombe's famous waterfront, boutiques, cafes and restaurants. The East Portlemouth passenger ferry (within a 3-4 minute walk) runs to and from the town throughout the year to the sandy beaches on the opposite side of the town's stunning harbour.
ENTRANCE Steps lead up from Robinson Row to the kitchen entrance at ground floor level. There is also access to the sitting/dining room via the garden door to the rear.
KITCHEN /BREAKFAST ROOM A well equipped cottage kitchen has newly fitted (2017) wood laminate flooring, a range of wall and floor units, worktops, electric cooker (with four ring hob, oven and grill), dishwasher, fridge and TV, and a small pantry with additional fridge and microwave. A small breakfast table has seating for three guests. Stairs lead up to two bedrooms and a bathroom at first floor level.
SITTING/DINING ROOM This cosy, light and sunny room overlooks the garden and has some views of the estuary. The sitting area has a new double sofa, two armchairs, tables, antique dresser and door leading out to the garden. The dining area has a table with six chairs (further chairs available in the kitchen). Stairs lead down to the lounge at lower ground floor level.
LOUNGE A comfortable TV lounge has two large sofas, armchair, feature open fireplace, television and DVD player, CD hi-fi system and various board games etc. A door leads through to a UTILITY ROOM with washing machine and tumble dryer and in turn to a shower room beyond. Stairs from the lounge offer access up to the two bedrooms above, whilst double doors lead out towards the garden.
BEDROOMS Four in total, two in each 'wing'. The largest bedroom has a King-size bed, bedside tables, fitted wardrobes, table and chair, and superb views of the Salcombe Estuary. The adjacent twin room has two single beds, bedside tables, drawers and fitted wardrobes. A further double room (above the lounge) also has a King-size bed, bedside units, fitted wardrobe, wash-hand basin with cupboard, and chair. A twin room at this level has two single beds, drawers and small wardrobe. N.B. All duvets, pillows, bed linen and towels are supplied ' tenants just need to bring beach and tea towels.
BATH/SHOWER ROOMS Three, all newly refurbished in 2017. An attractive, fully tiled family bathroom at first floor level has a bath with rainhead shower (over), w.c., wash-hand basin and heated towel rail. A smaller bathroom (off lounge) also has a bath with shower (over), w.c. wash-hand basin and heated towel rail, whilst a shower room (accessed via the utility room) has a shower cubicle, w.c. wash-hand basin and heated towel rail.
OUTSIDE There is a very good-sized, mature area of garden to both the side and rear of cottage. The lawned areas of the garden are at different gradients and offer very good views of the estuary (N.B. Due the sloping nature of the outside space, young children must be supervised at all times). There are two sets of garden furniture, each with a table and four chairs.
