3 Cookes Quay, Salcombe

About this property

Set in one of Salcombe’s most iconic creekside locations, 3 Cookes Quay is a rare waterside home steeped in history, once a working boat yard, with the privilege of its own private mooring and beautifully generous spaces for family and friends. Launch a paddleboard at sunrise, drift out by kayak, or take a boat across to the sandy beaches after picking up your picnic goodies from this pretty coastal town on your doorstep.

Tucked along the water’s edge in one of Salcombe’s most sought-after creek positions, 3 Cookes Quay is a house that invites you to slip effortlessly into the rhythm of Salcombe life. With the creek lapping just below and its own private mooring, a rare privilege in this part of the world, days here begin and end on the water.

Mornings are best started slowly, with a short stroll into town for warm croissants from the local bakery, followed by a wander through Salcombe’s independent shops in search of provisions and small indulgences. From there, the day unfolds at your pace, launch a paddleboard or kayak with the family, row out from the mooring below, or step aboard and cross the water to the sandy beaches opposite.

The top floor of the house opens into a light-filled entertaining space where wide windows frame the ever-changing creek beyond. The kitchen is designed for gathering and entertaining; easy, sociable and perfectly placed for long suppers that drift late into the evening, fuelled by the day’s catch of the best local seafood the town has to offer.

Beautiful bedrooms are calm, with soft light and a relaxed coastal feel. Flexible spaces include twin rooms, a double and a bunk room, ideal for children and teenagers, making this a home that works beautifully for families and groups of friends alike. The master king size bedroom opens up on to its own ensuite for ultimate privacy.

And then there’s the simple luxury of the mooring, your gateway to the estuary. From here, the open water is moments away, whether you’re setting off for a day on the beach or heading upriver towards South Pool, where barbecues at sunset and the glow of evening light on the water become part of the everyday.

At 3 Cookes Quay, life is lived close to the tide, unhurried, connected, and entirely your own.
