Location

Moult Farm enjoys an incredible, elevated position with uninterrupted views over North Sands which is about 5 metres from the garden boundary.

Salcombe is one of the most sought after addresses on Devon’s south coast and for good reason; the town is situated on the Kingsbridge and Salcombe Estuary, flanked by the glorious rolling countryside of the South Hams and is renowned for its micro climate which makes it an ideal place for year round living. Salcombe offers two sandy beaches, North Sands and South Sands and a short boat trip across the water to East Portlemouth provides access to Mill Bay and Sunny Cove, two beautiful sandy beaches owned by the National Trust. The bustling town centre is about a mile away and offers an eclectic and charming mix of shops, restaurants and pubs.

The Georgian market town of Kingsbridge is about 6 miles distant, providing additional primary and secondary schools, as well as a more extensive range of interesting local shops, supermarkets and many other amenities.

Communications are excellent with access to the M5 motorway at Exeter, via the A38 Devon Expressway being about 15 miles.
