Painter's Cottage

Painter's Cottage is a yellow and blue painted house on Buckley Street in Salcombe, four bedrooms sleeping eight up a steep street of similarly colourful terraces.

A terrace of painted three-storey houses climbs the street under open sky, a blue house sign reading No. 20 Painter's Cottage marking the door.

A sitting room with a window seat

The sitting room holds a long cushioned window seat alongside the sofa, framed pictures on the walls and a door leading out. The kitchen is fitted in blue with a marble splashback, its round dining table regularly laid for breakfast beneath a skylight.

Four bedrooms, including a cabin bed for children

Four bedrooms sleep up to eight, one built around a cabin bed with its own ladder for children, another with a writing desk and a window over the estuary. Bathrooms include one with a round porthole window above the bath, the other a terrazzo walk-in shower.

Boats and rooftops from every window

Moored boats sit on the estuary in evening light, the whitewashed town rises above the harbour, and the lifeboat station stands over slate rooftops.

Right in Salcombe's old town

Painter's Cottage sits on Buckley Street in the heart of Salcombe, within reach of both Small's Cove and East Portlemouth beaches.

A steep-street cottage for a family

Four bedrooms and a cabin bed for children suit a family or group of friends happy with a proper hill-town street rather than level ground, the estuary view from the windows the reward for the climb.
