About this property
4 Lyndhurst, located on Bonaventure Road above Salcombe in a quieter part of the town, is within a ten-minute downhill walk of the waterfront, boutiques and restaurants which have gone on to make the area so renowned.
A set of steps lead up to the apartment and onto the open planned lounge / kitchen / dining room where doors open to a balcony offering superb views over the estuary. A comfortable L-shaped sofa seats five, a smart TV is in the lounge for the guests’ use. The well-equipped Shaker style kitchen has granite worktops, a double oven, ceramic hob, dishwasher, washing machine/dryer, fridge-freezer and microwave whilst the circular oak dining table seats four.
There are two en suite bedrooms, both on the upper level of this duplex apartment. The master has a king size bed, clothes storage, TV and a gable end window to take in the view and en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom is a twin with views stretching from East Portlemouth to Snapes Point. The en-suite shower room features a power shower, w.c and hand basin.

Salcombe is a popular destination for watersports enthusiasts, walkers and families looking for a holiday by the sea.

Great location for seeing the area. Plenty to do without using the car.

Mostly the flat was quiet but there were a few days where we could hear what other apartments were doing, even into the early hours on 1 or 2 nights. Itâs probably fine for most people but as a light-ish sleeper and with a young family it made hard for us to sleep. Both bathroom doors didnât close completely - they stick at the top of the door frame and would be nice if that was rectified. The most frustrating part of our stay was that someone in the apartment below was smoking cannabis (in the apartment and on the balcony below) which worked itâs way into the apartment and meant we couldnât have windows or the balcony doors open whilst the occupant was smoking and for a period after too - this was really unpleasant and despite reporting it to coast and country and the owners it didnât stop. However, having a car parking space in Salcombe is a massive bonus and the estuary views were fantastic!
