A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached home just 35 meters to the incredible Mill Bay Beach and the Salcombe Estuary

Description

Having remained in the same family ownership since the early 1960’s,we are delighted to bring this fabulous home to the market for the first time in over 60 years. Commanding one of the most enviable locations in the South West, Lambury Cottage offers beachfront living at its finest. As you would expect, the views are simply spectacular and can be seen from every room. Spacious and bright throughout, the accommodation is arranged over two floors with the ground floor offering a well-equipped kitchen, a lovely dining room and a fabulous sitting room. The sitting room is generously proportioned with a wood burning stove and sliding doors to the terrace. Beyond the living accommodation there is also a cloakroom and utility / boot room with pantry. A lovely, wide staircase leads to the first floor galleried landing which in turn leads to a generous principal en suite bedroom. Dual aspect windows flood the room with light. Full width windows to the front provide the views over Mill Bay beach and the Salcombe Estuary while to the rear, to the garden and woodland beyond. There is an additional, generous double bedroom on the first floor as well as two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Following the theme, all of these have wonderful views over the beach and to the estuary beyond.

Gardens and Grounds
Approached by a gated driveway, Lambury Cottage sits in the middle of a generous plot which extends to around an acre. The carefully landscaped woodland gardens to the rear are a delight and are a haven for wildlife and birds. To the front, here is a lovely terrace; the perfect place from which to enjoy the views. In addition, there is a generous double garage and two greenhouses.

Location

East Portlemouth is a small coastal village offering a tranquil and rural setting across the water from Salcombe. Situated on the east bank of the Kingsbridge and Salcombe Estuary, this popular and pretty village is home to a long sandy beach with hidden coves and rock pools, backed by woodland and coastal paths and the beachside Venus Café which is open every day in season. Port Waterhouse which offers hassle-free boating - moorings, parking and storage and a paddle board school, is close by which also has a bar which is open during the main summer season. A school bus service runs from East Portlemouth to Kingsbridge and there are also excellent pubs in the neighbouring villages of East Prawle and South Pool. The stunning waterside town of Salcombe is East Portlemouth’s closest neighbour and is accessible via a short passenger ferry ride available 365 days a year.

Salcombe is renowned for its sailing and boating facilities and is
located beside one of the loveliest estuaries in the South West,
with miles of sheltered water and fine sandy beaches and offers an abundance of independent shops and galleries, cafes, restaurants and pubs.

The larger market town of Kingsbridge is about 9 miles away and the waterfront town of Dartmouth is about 16 miles distant. Both offer primary and secondary schooling as well as a wide range of amenities. Communications are excellent with access to the M5 motorway at Exeter, via the A38 Devon Expressway being about 19 miles.
