Nautica

Nautica is a modern house within Salcombe's Spion Lodge development, three bedrooms sleeping six behind a glazed apex window looking straight out to sea.

The setting takes in the modern hillside house set within its own development, the estuary spread out below.

A blue-sectional living room

The living room's blue sectional sofa sits beneath a glazed apex window with a wide sea and hills view through the glass doors. A large kitchen island runs to bar stools and pendant lighting, navy cabinetry and a farmhouse sink giving the room real presence, with a dining table set beneath its own pendant lights nearby.

Three bedrooms, most with murals

Three bedrooms sleep up to six, two behind hand-painted coastal or blue wash murals, the third simpler with a desk and chair, and a twin room dressed in striped headboards and teal throws. Three bathrooms run to marble tiling throughout, one with a double vanity, another with fish-print wallpaper and a freestanding tub, brushed gold fixtures picking out the third.

A balcony built for the view

The balcony holds sofas and armchairs looking out over a headland and beach cove, with a built-in barbecue on a fenced patio for alfresco dinners beside the sea view.

Close to Small's Cove

Nautica sits within reach of Small's Cove Beach, in the heart of Salcombe.

A modern base for a small family

Three bedrooms and floor-to-ceiling glass suit a family or group of friends wanting a genuinely modern stay rather than a period cottage, the balcony and its barbecue the natural place to end the day.
