Higher Batson

Set above the peaceful Batson Valley on the outskirts of Salcombe, this wonderful four-bedroom detached house combines bright, versatile accommodation with generous gardens and far-reaching countryside views. The property benefits from a private gated driveway providing ample parking, while a large balcony offers an inviting place to enjoy the beautiful outlook.

The property is approached via a gated gravel driveway that leads to the house through the landscaped grounds. You enter into a welcoming entrance hall, which introduces the ground floor accommodation. This offers a good-sized double bedroom boasting bi-fold doors that open onto a patio and the garden beyond, providing a peaceful spot to enjoy the pleasant surroundings. The bedroom also benefits from a modern en-suite shower room. Also on this level, a useful utility room provides added convenience and incorporates a shower and WC.

Stairs lead to the first floor, which accommodates the majority of the living space. A large central landing provides access to all the rooms. The spacious sitting and dining room makes the most of its elevated position, with ample natural light and bi-fold doors opening onto the large decked balcony, creating an easy flow between inside and out. Glass balustrades preserve the views over the treetops and countryside beyond, providing an idyllic setting to look out over Batson. The separate kitchen is fitted with colourful cabinetry, timber worktops and a patterned splashback, and also enjoys direct access to the rear garden, adding to the practicality of the layout.

Three further good-sized bedrooms are arranged on the first floor. One benefits from a window seat framing the countryside outlook, along with fitted wardrobes and shelving. The remaining bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests or alternative uses. A family bathroom serves this floor, with a bath and separate shower, complemented by a separate WC.

Outside, lawns, mature planting and paved terraces create a variety of places to relax and entertain. Steps lead through the sloping garden, where established shrubs and trees add colour and interest. The principal dining terrace is well placed for outdoor entertaining, while the upper deck offers a different perspective across the valley. The gated driveway provides ample parking.

Batson is a hamlet located on the edge of Salcombe, lying on either side of an enchanting and peaceful valley at the head of Batson Creek. The creek itself leads into Salcombe Harbour. The town centre is located less than a mile away, while nearer still are the boat parks, slipways and mooring pontoons of Batson and Shadycombe Creeks.
