3 Cookes Quay

3 Cookes Quay is a brick waterside building right on the water, balconies looking down over a spiral staircase to the moored boats below, its entrance a stone doorway with a porthole window off a cobbled path.

A blue kitchen beneath a skylight

The blue-and-teal fitted kitchen sits under a sloped skylight, open shelving and a coffee machine to one side and a round dining table set with plates and wine glasses beneath the roof light. The living room keeps a beige sofa, an armchair and red patterned cushions beside a bright window.

Four bedrooms and two bathrooms

Four bedrooms are dressed variously in checked throws, red-striped cushions and navy accents, several with plantation shutters and a breakfast tray on the bed, one with a red desk chair at a small desk. The two bathrooms differ, one with a curved vanity and mosaic-tiled glazed shower, the other finished in a sage green wall with a round mirror.

Estuary views from every angle

The setting leans heavily on the water: the harbour sits directly below, waterside terrace houses with the hills behind, and a blue rowing boat moored beside the building itself. A hallway staircase with coat hooks and storage baskets runs up through the house, reached by stairs only.

A waterside house for a big group

With four bedrooms sleeping up to eight, this suits a large family or group of friends wanting to be right on the water in Salcombe, close to Small's Cove Beach and East Portlemouth Beach along the coast.
