24 The Salcombe

24 The Salcombe is a compact apartment for two within the same grand white waterfront building as its neighbours, a shared swimming pool and marina view in the grounds below.

The building's landscaped gardens and pool front the water, dinghies moored alongside when seen from the estuary itself.

A dining nook beneath a boat print

A built-in banquette dining nook in mahogany panelling sits beneath a framed boat print, the kitchen fitted in black granite with integrated appliances. The living area keeps a cream sofa with patterned cushions along a window wall, a green director's chair pulled up beside the open glass door.

A bedroom dressed with a model sailboat

The bedroom holds a dark metal bed frame and a model sailboat on the wall, a dressing table set by the window against panelling, with a round mosaic mirror in the hallway leading through from the front door. The bathroom serves it with a shower unit, a water heater and a window looking out over the water.

Terraces over the pool and marina

Terraces around the apartment take in the pool edge beneath red umbrellas, pink hydrangea bushes beside a covered dining gazebo, and an elevated garden view down to the estuary at evening light.

The marina and the town

24 The Salcombe sits within reach of East Portlemouth Beach and Small's Cove Beach, right on the waterfront in Salcombe.

A couple's escape with a pool to hand

This suits a couple wanting a small, self-contained apartment with resort-style grounds attached, the pool and terraces doing more work than the compact interior needs to.
