Fore Street, Salcombe

Occupying an enviable position in the heart of Salcombe, 39 Fore Street is a charming one-bedroom terraced house with far-reaching views across the estuary to the sandy shores and wooded hills of East Portlemouth. Behind its distinctive pastel-blue façade, the property combines period character with contemporary finishes and cleverly arranged accommodation. Already an established and successful holiday rental, it offers an excellent opportunity as a coastal home, weekend retreat or investment.

The ground floor opens into a well-equipped kitchen with cream cabinetry, dark worktops, integrated appliances and attractive exposed stonework. This flows naturally into a welcoming sitting room centred around a period fireplace, with pale floorboards, coastal touches and glimpses towards the harbour.

Upstairs, the spacious bathroom provides a bath with shower, WC and wash basin. The bedroom is the highlight, featuring a broad bay window with spectacular views across the Salcombe Estuary, sandy beach and countryside beyond. A deep fitted window seat provides the perfect spot to enjoy the ever-changing outlook, while soft furnishings and neutral tones create a peaceful retreat.

A compact staircase leads from the bedroom to a versatile attic room beneath the pitched roof, featuring exposed timbers, whitewashed brickwork, wooden flooring and roof lights. Offering useful storage and potential occasional guest accommodation, subject to the necessary consents, it is a valuable additional space.

The property’s exceptional location places Salcombe’s boutiques, cafés, galleries, pubs and restaurants on the doorstep, with the waterfront and harbour just moments away. The passenger ferry provides access to East Portlemouth and its beaches, while nearby coastal paths offer wonderful walking. With its character, spectacular views and proven holiday-let appeal, 39 Fore Street provides a rare opportunity to enjoy the very best of life in this sought-after South Devon coastal town.
