The Old Post Office - Parking Available - 75 meters Estuary

The Old Post Office is a white rendered house in Salcombe with a red postbox still set into its wall, three bedrooms sleeping seven behind sash windows over the estuary.

A brass name plaque sits beside the blue front door under an arched porch, sash windows and the old postbox marking the white render above.

A cast-iron fireplace in the sitting room

The sitting room keeps a cast iron fireplace beneath tall sash windows, a second lounge adding sofas around a bay window looking straight out to the water. The kitchen is cream-fitted, its dining table laid for breakfast beside the window.

Three bedrooms, one under the eaves

Three bedrooms sleep up to seven: a double with an iron bedstead and dressing table, a twin with two more iron bedsteads, and an attic room tucked under the eaves with a double and a single bed. Two bathrooms serve them, tiled throughout, one beneath a sloping ceiling.

Boats over the rooftops

Yachts and boats sit moored on the estuary, mist rising off the water at sunrise and sunset both visible from the house's own windows.

On Courtenay Street, close to the water

The Old Post Office sits within reach of both Small's Cove Beach and East Portlemouth Beach, in the heart of Salcombe.

Sash windows on the estuary

Real character over a modern flat is the draw at The Old Post Office — three bedrooms and two sitting rooms for a family or group of friends in Salcombe, the estuary view from the sash windows the reason to book it.
