With its sunny, Mediterranean-style terraced garden, modern interiors and huge sliding glass doors, this is a central yet private Salcombe house perfectly designed for modern living.

Spacious, well-equipped and close to the action in town, this is the ultimate holiday home to enjoy time with family and friends.

A gorgeous and expansive house that has been finished to a very high level, and set-up perfectly for modern living in the upmost style. Located at the bottom of Robinson Row, which sits just off the Salcombe high street, the famous waterfront and buzzing shops are mere seconds away. Launch your paddle-board for a morning cruise, rinse your feet under the outdoor shower on your return, and enjoy a well-earned croissant from the local bakery sitting outside in the sunshine.

Le Temps Perdu really is a hidden gem that sits in the centre of Salcombe with plenty of space and glorious terraced gardens that are perfectly set-up for al fresco dining and relaxation. The stunning annexe bedroom with remote controlled cinema screen and projector is a fabulous place to watch the latest Hollywood blockbuster in the evening. It also has a useful kitchenette, en suite shower room and big sliding windows out onto the terrace making this one very special bedroom.

The main living areas flow beautifully through the house, starting with the sitting room that has comfortable sumptuous sofas, a wood burner to keep warm in the evenings and a large TV with sound bar. This leads down to the well-equipped kitchen with its high apex ceiling and wooden beams. Double dishwashers makes entertaining that little bit easier, and a good sized drinks fridge helps with the all important chilled bottles of wine.

From the kitchen flows the orangery with floor to ceiling sliding doors out to the garden terraces. The formal dining area is a bright space for mealtimes, and a wood burner is there for added warmth. Leading from the orangery is a lovely bedroom with its own balcony and en suite shower room. There is also the ever useful utility room which leads onto a cloakroom and shower.

Downstairs from the kitchen are four delightful bedrooms. The first is an elegant space with views from the large windows down to the courtyard, and it has its own television plus en suite bathroom with free standing bath and separate shower. The next three well-appointed bedrooms are on the lower ground level and share a family bathroom.

Le Temps Perdu is a beautifully appointed house that is perfect for a coastal retreat with friends and family. With flexible arrangements for each of the bedrooms, this will be a wonderful space suiting big groups no matter what age.

Due to wooden floors, soft shoes only inside please.

Only 12 guests and up to 6 house guests (for entertaining purposes) allowed in the house at any one time.
