Location

With its naturally mild climate, East Portlemouth, the Salcombe Estuary and the surrounding South Hams coastline is the perfect setting for this family home. East Portlemouth itself has a loyal following for those seeking proximity to sandy beaches, all day and evening sunshine, and effortless access to dramatic and idyllic coastlines. The region is known for having a particularly kind climate and its scenery is a patchwork of lush, unspoilt countryside, hidden coombes and golden sands.

Nearby is the vibrant town of Salcombe; once a prosperous fishing village, it retains much of its original charm and character. The town's many restaurants, local pubs and lively shops are all within an easy boat trip of Bay House. The Salcombe Estuary has numerous sandy beaches, coves and sheltered anchorages, all of which help make it an outstanding spot for dinghy sailing, water sports and boating. Salcombe is also a famous yachting centre and provides a perfect cruising base from which to explore France, the Channel Islands, and the harbours and creeks of the West Country. The Georgian market town of Kingsbridge is about 8 miles away, providing additional primary and secondary schools, as well as a more extensive range of interesting local shops, two national supermarkets and many other amenities.
