Ferry Cottage

Ferry Cottage sits in a row of pink and blue harbourside cottages on Salcombe's Fore Street, two bedrooms sleeping four behind a beamed, stone-walled sitting room.

The pink and blue frontage stands out along the terrace, a name plate by the door and cafe tables on the pavement below.

A stone fireplace beneath the beams

The living room keeps its stone fireplace and wood-burning stove beneath a beamed ceiling, a blue sofa and armchair pulled up to it, while the dining nook next door has its own window seat looking out over the estuary. The kitchen is white-fitted, with a stone-walled alcove and an anchor decoration on the wall.

Two bedrooms over the water

Both bedrooms look out over the estuary, one with red gingham curtains and its own window seat, the other dressed in blue and white beneath coastal artwork. Two bathrooms serve them, one in patterned blue and white tile with a bath and shower.

A terrace above the harbour wall

Wicker armchairs and a stone terrace table sit out with a wide view over the water and the beach beyond, drinks and flowers regularly laid out there.

Steps from East Portlemouth

Ferry Cottage sits within easy reach of East Portlemouth Beach, right in the centre of Salcombe.

A couple's cottage with real character

The stone walls, beams and working fireplace suit a couple or small family wanting a proper Salcombe cottage rather than a modern conversion, the terrace the natural spot for an evening drink after a day on the water.
