The Wood

Salcombe, Devon

15

Perched high on a hill above South Sands beach in Salcombe, Devon, this impressive detached house offers exceptional accommodation for families or groups of friends, comfortably sleeping up to 15 guests across its seven bedrooms. Nestled in its own expansive garden, the property boasts a prime location in one of the UK's most picturesque towns, making it an ideal getaway. Upon arrival, guests are greeted by a smart hall that leads into a spacious and well-equipped kitchen, featuring a large dining area that opens onto an enclosed deck. This outdoor space is perfect for enjoying evening drinks while taking in breathtaking views of the estuary.

The interior of the house is designed for both comfort and entertainment, with a sitting room that features double doors opening to the same stunning views, complemented by an inviting open fire. On the main level, a convenient twin bedroom is available, while five additional bedrooms await on the upper floors, all offering fantastic sea views. The master bedroom is particularly noteworthy for its beauty, and families will appreciate the spacious en suite room on the top floor, designed for children to enjoy both sleeping and playing table football.

The outdoor area is equally impressive, encompassing 1½ acres of steeply sloping garden where guests can wander, sunbathe, or engage in activities like table tennis. A scenic path winds down through the garden to the lovely beach below, making it easy to access the sandy shores. While the house and garden provide a tranquil retreat, the vibrant Salcombe town is just a short stroll away, offering boutique shops, excellent restaurants, and lively pubs. Adventurous guests can hire boats to explore local waterways or enjoy tennis and swimming at the seasonal outdoor pool nearby.

For those looking to explore further, a pedestrian ferry service to East Portlemouth opens up more beautiful beaches, while the South West Coast Path offers stunning coastal views and opportunities for leisurely walks. Nearby National Trust gardens provide additional inspiration for nature lovers, making this property a unique haven for enjoying one of the loveliest spots imaginable. With its combination of luxury, convenience, and breathtaking surroundings, this house in Salcombe is a perfect destination for a memorable holiday experience.
