St Leonards

St Leonards is a pink and white rendered cottage on a Salcombe village street, built for two with a wrought-iron name sign beside the door.

A decorative wrought-iron sign reading St Leonards marks the rendered wall, the pink and white cottage sitting among its terraced neighbours.

A wood-burning stove in the sitting room

The living room keeps a wood-burning stove beside a blue sofa on a red rug, a second sitting spot adding a red-brick fireplace, television and bookshelf. The white kitchen runs to a gas hob and wood worktops beneath exposed ceiling beams, a round dining table set for breakfast beside a kitchen island stocked with everyday crockery and glassware.

Loft rooms with nautical bunting

The bedrooms sit under the eaves, one a loft room with a built-in daybed and nautical bunting, another fitted with a built-in bunk structure and storage baskets tucked beneath the sloping ceiling. A bathroom serves the cottage, with a bath, a mosaic-tiled shower surround and a pedestal basin.

A paved patio with cushioned seating

A paved patio holds a wooden table, benches and cushioned seating, tucked just outside the cottage and shaded by the terraced houses either side.

Sailing dinghies in the cove

A red-sailed dinghy sits on a sandy cove beach, sailing dinghies race beneath green hills, and a calm estuary creek carries daisies in the foreground, the kind of coastline within easy reach of the cottage's front door.

A cosy retreat for two

This suits a couple wanting a small, characterful cottage rather than a full house, the wood-burning stove and loft bedrooms giving it real warmth close to Salcombe.
