This ground-floor apartment in The Salcombe offers rare, direct waterfront living in the centre of Salcombe. A private front door opens into a large open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that flows onto a sun terrace with panoramic estuary views — perfect for morning coffee or evening sunsets.
The large double bedroom also opens to the terrace, and a generous adjacent storage room is ideal for boats, boards and seaside gear. Residents benefit from secure allocated parking, communal heated swimming pool, well-kept gardens, and a landing stage with mooring pontoons — features that support a comfortable coastal lifestyle and holiday-let potential.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold, the communal service charge is high at £10,000 pa, and existing holiday bookings may need to be honoured. Heating is on a community scheme rather than individual gas boilers, and the building dates from c.1930–49 with cavity walls assumed uninsulated, so buyers should budget for potential retrofit or improvement works.
This apartment will suit someone seeking a low-stairs, amenity-rich lock-up-and-leave home by the water — attractive to downsizers, part-time residents, or investors looking for holiday-let income, provided they accept the service charge and communal arrangements.
