Tucked away in the heart of “Old” Salcombe’s boatyards and artisan boutiques, this end of terrace cottage has been decorated to a high standard, to suit both family beach holidays and "out of season" walkers. Located in a quiet cul de sac, it is nonetheless just 150 yards from Victoria Quay and two-minutes level walk from the harbour, shops, pubs and restaurants of Salcombe. It has three bedrooms, an upstairs "snug" lounge and a pleasant small roof terrace with views of Batson Creek and the Snape Hills beyond.
The property benefits from a location within easy walking distance of both Salcombe's amenities and the countryside towards Batson and the Snape Hills. At the same time it enjoys a secluded location away from noisy "through-traffic" at busy times.
