Fortescue Road, Salcombe

Wayside presents a rare opportunity to purchase a stunning property on the corner of Fortescue Road and St Dunstans Road.  Benefitting from a wonderful plot adjoining woodland and with no neighbours either side, the house enjoys glorious views of the mouth of the Estuary and out to sea, together with glimpses of South Sands.  Wayside sits centrally on the site with pretty gardens surrounding it and a backdrop of mature woodland.  From Fortescue Road, there is access to a large detached garage and a pathway to the house.  From St Dunstans Road there is an off-road parking space and pathways to the front and rear of the property.  The elevated position of Wayside gives exceptional water and countryside views in an unspoilt location.

Now ready for complete modernisation (and possible extension subject to planning consent), Wayside currently has over 1750 square foot of accommodation on two floors.  Downstairs there is a good sized sitting room, separate dining room and kitchen, together with 3 double bedrooms and a family bathroom.  Upstairs has been designed to either use as additional living space to the ground floor or, as it is currently configured, an annexe comprising an open plan living/dining/kitchen area and bathroom.  There are large sliding glass doors opening onto a generous balcony, giving superb views.  This floor can also be accessed by an external door and stairs directly into the rear garden.

The location of Wayside is prime:  close to The Berry and adjacent woodland for walking, with the local Spar shop and primary school also nearby, together with a comfortable walk down into the town via Herbert Road for all the main facilities of Salcombe and access to the Estuary.
