Mcilwraith 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.

The property is conveniently located close to the local primary school, a superb butchers and only a short walk into the bustling town centre with its eclectic and charming mix of shops, restaurants and pubs.

This bespoke build was constructed for the original landowner in 2016 and occupies a large corner plot at the end of the cul-de-sac. The house has wonderfully spacious family accommodation which extends to in excess of 3500 sq ft.

On the ground floor is a contemporary kitchen living room with ample space to sit and dine and pair of bi-fold doors to the paved terrace that spans the full width of the rear elevation. The sitting room with wood burning stove has two sets of French doors opening onto the same terrace. At the front is an enclosed porch with remote control blinds and two storage bench seats; a delightful spot to sit and enjoy the afternoon sun. The entrance hall has ceramic tiles and doors to a generously proportioned dining room and study. An L-shaped utility room has been designed for practical beachside living with galvanised steel boot racks and hanging space for wetsuits above a drain. There is also a guest cloakroom.
