The Chota House

The Chota House is a white cottage with a wisteria-covered veranda in Salcombe, a gravel forecourt in front of a stone gable and arched doorway.

A wood burner in a pine surround

The sitting room keeps a lit wood burner in a pine surround, sofas and a television close by; a second sitting room adds a grey corner sofa with a wall-mounted television, a third pairing a grey sofa and armchair facing glazed doors onto greenery.

Three bedrooms under sloping ceilings

Three bedrooms are pine-furnished throughout, one with checked cushions beside a dormer window, another with two single beds beneath a sloping ceiling, and a twin beside a tall pine wardrobe. The bathrooms include a timber-panelled bath with brass taps, and a curved shower cubicle beside a pedestal basin.

A cream kitchen with a range cooker

The cream kitchen has a range cooker and a freestanding island on a terracotta tiled floor, the dining table laid for six with a blue cloth close to the sitting room.

A vine-covered veranda for dining outside

A decked veranda holds wooden table and chairs beneath a glazed roof and climbing vine, a further table set under a vine-covered pergola beside the hedge.

Sea and harbour views over the town

The estuary and town are visible from a slope of red valerian, houses stacked up the hillside above moored boats, fishing boats and a yacht moored off the town below the church tower.

Four bathrooms, real character

The Chota House suits a family or group of friends after real character right in Salcombe — three bedrooms, four bathrooms and sea views, parking and a washing machine covering the rest.
