The Cottage

The Cottage is a white detached house set into the Salcombe hillside above its own garage, three bedrooms sleeping six beneath wood-panelled ceilings.

The white render sits into the hillside, a garage tucked beneath the main house.

A wood burner and a choice of sofas

The living room keeps a wood-burning stove beside doors to the garden, a second sitting area adding a futon sofa and glass doors to the balcony, and a third space with a daybed and bookshelf beside the stairs. The kitchen is fitted in pale blue, its dining table dressed in a teal polka-dot cloth beside the open garden doors.

Three bedrooms beneath wood ceilings

Three bedrooms sleep up to six, several beneath an exposed wood-panelled ceiling, one with an open skylight window for extra light. Two bathrooms serve the house, one a corner bath beneath its own skylight.

A patio beside the conservatory

A patio holds a parasol-shaded table beside the conservatory, with a small balcony elsewhere fitted with teal chairs overlooking the town.

Church spire and tidal creeks

The town's church spire and harbour rise over the hedgerows, boats rest on the mud of a tidal creek at low water, the whole estuary town spread out below.

A hillside base for Salcombe

The Cottage sits within Salcombe itself, above the harbour and its tidal creeks.

Three sitting spots, real room to spread out

The Cottage gives a family or group of friends real room to spread out — three bedrooms and three separate places to sit in Salcombe, the wood burner and patio covering both a cool evening and a warm one.
