The delightfully bright and open hallway greats you with a warm welcome when first arriving at Sundowners. From here, walk straight into a light and airy kitchen with a beautiful wooden dining table seating eight.

There is a spacious utility room which has an additional freezer and microwave. It also houses a washing machine and a tumble dryer.
The tastefully designed sitting room has two large sofas, two chairs and a flat screen TV with Sky Q; ideal for a movie night in! If this isn’t your thing, perhaps just snuggle up in front of the contemporary fireplace and enjoy the breath-taking view instead.
On the first floor, there are four bedrooms. Firstly, the en-suite master bedroom with a super king-size bed. It has bedside tables, a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideal for storing your necessities.
A second bedroom with an en-suite also has a super king-size bed with a wardrobe and drawers for storage. In addition, there are a further two good-sized twin bedrooms, each with a pair of single beds which can be linked to create a large double on request.
As well as the two en-suites and a ground floor shower room, there is a family bathroom on the first floor.
Outside, there is a private terrace to the rear of the house with a table and chairs.
The property is on located within a 15-minute walk to Salcombe town centre with an array for shops, pubs and restaurants.
This property truly is a home away from home.

Stunning views and felt as though we could relax as soon as we arrived. Superb communication from Alex throughout. Only slight issue was oven door, needs fixing properly. All in all a lovely week and memories made. Thank you

The only disappointment is that itâs not available May half term next year. So many positives. It has stunning views, both families have enough space. Superbly designed. Well equipped. Suitable price. The only feedback for the owner is that the oven door bottom left doesnât close and dishwasher isnât washing properly.
