Little Painter

Little Painter sits in a row of colourful terraced houses, yellow and blue fronts climbing a Salcombe hillside street, a blue plaque by the door reading 'No. 20 Painter's Cottage'.

An open-plan living room with a gallery wall

A wood-floored hallway opens onto the living and kitchen space, a cream sofa sitting beneath a gallery wall with doors leading outside. The kitchen is blue-fitted with a marble splashback, its dining table set beneath a skylight and laid for breakfast with flowers and a mirror close by. A second, smaller sitting spot pairs an armchair and floor lamp beside the open-plan kitchen, a tartan throw draped over a nearby ottoman and a console table holding a picture frame, a basket and a heron ornament.

Two bedrooms and two bathrooms

The two bedrooms pair a desk and chair in one with a diamond-patterned headboard and pink cushion in the other, both finished with white linen. One window gives a glimpse of the harbour and moored boats. The two bathrooms differ: one has a bath beneath a round porthole window and tiled walls, the other a modern terrazzo-tiled shower with black fixtures and an oval basin.

Harbour views from the rooftops

The harbour spreads out below the town, the lifeboat station and moored boats visible at dusk, the marina and estuary glimpsed through foreground foliage. Parking is listed among the amenities, worth knowing on Salcombe's narrow hillside streets.

A colourful cottage for two, minutes from the water

With two bedrooms, two bathrooms and parking included, Little Painter works for two couples wanting an easy walk down into Salcombe and back up to rooftop harbour views in the evening.
