Set on elevated ground on Grenville Road, Fairlead delivers genuine Salcombe lifestyle benefits: panoramic Kingsbridge and Salcombe estuary views, easy walking distance to the harbour and town centre, and bright reverse-level living arranged over two floors. The first-floor sitting room opens onto a glazed-screen balcony to make the most of the outlook. Recent roof works (re-roofed, insulated, felt and battened in 2022) reduce short-term major maintenance risk.
Accommodation is practical for family life: four bedrooms, a large sitting room, separate dining room, kitchen, utility/store room and outdoor space with lawn, pond, greenhouse and vegetable beds. The utility/store room has already been investigated for conversion to a bathroom, offering straightforward scope to add a second bathroom and increase convenience and resale appeal. Off-street parking for two, a car port and an EV charging point add modern convenience for drivers.
Buyers should note this is a circa 1930s detached house with cavity walls assumed uninsulated, and only one main bathroom currently serves four bedrooms. Council tax is above average for the area. The house is well positioned in a very affluent, low-crime area with excellent mobile and fast broadband speeds, making it suitable for remote working and year-round living in Salcombe.
Overall, Fairlead will suit buyers seeking a spacious family home or a second-home in a sought-after coastal town who value views and proximity to the harbour, and who are prepared to carry minor updating or create an additional bathroom to optimise the layout and long-term value.
