Sandhills Road, Salcombe

The Palms is approached from the highly sought after Sandhills Road via a gated driveway, leading past a generous parking area and two adjoining garages to the entrance, discreetly positioned at the rear of the property. Enjoying a desirable south-westerly aspect, the house benefits from an abundance of natural light throughout the day, while commanding delightful sea views. Extensively refurbished and thoughtfully extended in 2018, the property now offers an exceptional family home combining contemporary comfort with stunning design.

Upon entering, a spacious reception hallway welcomes you and leads to the cleverly designed upside-down home, created to maximise the stunning coastal outlook. Stairs rise to the impressive first-floor living space, where an open-plan layout is flooded with natural light from a large bay window within the dining area, a Juliet balcony, and a striking feature radius window in the sitting room. From here, glorious views stretch across the gardens towards the sea, creating a truly special setting.

The beautifully appointed kitchen is fitted with Shaker-style oak units complemented by elegant marble worktops and a comprehensive range of integrated Neff appliances, including an induction hob with extractor, double oven and grill, microwave, dishwasher, fridge-freezer and washing machine.

The ground floor provides well-proportioned bedroom accommodation. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a stylish en-suite bathroom with a shower over the bath. Bedroom Two is another generous double room featuring the attractive bay window and fitted wardrobes. A modern family shower room serves the remaining accommodation.

Bedroom Three offers excellent versatility and is equally suited as a guest bedroom, home office or study. From here, a door leads into the delightful studio – a unique seven-sided room added as part of the 2018 extension. Recently used as an artist's studio, this charming space enjoys sunlight throughout the day thanks to its multiple windows. It is well equipped with Karndean-style flooring, a sink with tiled splashback, fitted storage cupboards, and direct access onto the terrace, making it equally suitable as a hobby room, creative workspace or garden room.

Outside, the beautifully maintained gardens are a particular highlight of The Palms. Designed to be both attractive and manageable (complete with docking station for Krass robotic lawn mower), they comprise areas of lawn, mature shrub and flower borders, and a generous stone terrace enjoying wonderful sea views – an idyllic setting for al fresco dining or entertaining. An external power point further enhances the practicality of this outdoor space.

The two adjoining garages are attractively finished with stone cladding and brick detailing, each benefiting from electric up-and-over doors, power and lighting. Adjacent to the garages is a separate gravelled parking area providing ample off-road parking for several vehicles.
