About this property
24 The Salcombe rests on the coastline of Salcombe in Devon overlooking the picturesque harbour. This fabulous first-floor apartment offers spectacular views across Salcombe Harbour, with a sleek, open-plan interior inspired by the design of a luxury yacht to make the best use of available space. 24 The Salcombe’s fabulous facilities include a shared outdoor swimming pool and allocated parking, a rarity in this bustling town, together with its own pontoon mooring, bistro restaurant and fully equipped laundry room. Communal facilities include an elegant reception, ladies and gents’ washrooms and a further shower room off the entrance to the garden/swimming pool area, all making the perfect setting for an exclusive waterside retreat.
Entering the apartment, you will not only be impressed with the fabulous design of the stylish interior, including the fully equipped kitchen, but the harbour views visible from every window are truly spectacular. Dining in 24 The Salcombe is another wonderful experience, as you can open the French doors to breathe in the sea air before heading downstairs to enjoy a stroll in the luscious subtropical gardens as the sun sets over the harbour. When the sky darkens, get some much-needed rest and relaxation in the king-size bedroom furnished with a TV, perfect for lazy mornings, and serviced by a handy en-suite bathroom.
The spacious, fully fitted bedroom also affords glorious views over the water. 24 The Salcombe lies in the heart of Salcombe in the South Devon AONB just paces away from shops to help ease your self-catered stay and pubs and bars including Dick and Willis, The Ferry Inn, and The Victoria Inn where you can enjoy delicious food and a variety of drinks on date night. During the day head to Salcombe Maritime Museum or soak up the sun by spending the day at Salcombe’s North or South Sands, no trip to the coast would be complete without ice cream or experiencing local produce at the Crab Shed.
Take the ferry – which can be accessed directly from the garden - across the harbour to East Portlemouth or go further afield to Northsands, Southsands and even the market town of Kingsbridge. The apartment lies a short drive from Dartmoor Zoo which houses a variety of big cats and a conservation centre, while here head on to Dartmoor National Park. Traverse its 900 plus square kilometres of wild, open moorlands with history and a wealth of activities woven throughout; there are a variety of hiking, cycling, and climbing opportunities as well as chances to spot local wildlife. Unlock the wonders of Devon at 24 The Salcombe.
Salcombe is a popular destination for walkers and families looking for a holiday by the sea and was once a major port. There are two pretty beaches within a short distance, North Sands and South Sands and further on is the National Trust property Overbeck’s where you can wander through the subtropical gardens. You can also take the small ferry across the estuary to the beaches of East Portlemouth, and a walk to Gara Rock. Why not have a more adventurous day and try out the watersports available on the estuary including sailing, kayaking or a more leisurely boat trip? Whilst staying in Salcombe you must take advantage of the locally sourced seafood which is served in many of the restaurants, pubs, cafés and delicatessens. The southern tip of Devon provides some spectacular scenery and picturesque vistas with a number of sandy beaches, lovely villages with thatched cottages and some fantastic opportunities for walking, including the South West Coast path.
