About this property

Millbay Cottage is a wonderful property boasting breathtaking views over Mill Bay beach, Salcombe estuary and the countryside beyond.

Millbay Cottage occupies a magnificent position in the highly desirable and picturesque estuary village of East Portlemouth. Sitting proudly above Mill Bay beach, with stunning views across the Salcombe estuary and town, this delightful property also benefits from a detached annexe.

Dating back to the early 1900s, this charming cottage is full of character and appeal. The ground floor is centred around an open-plan kitchen and a flowing living/dining room, which enjoys two sets of French doors opening onto the wraparound terrace. An abundance of windows ensures ample natural light and offers plenty of opportunities to take in the breathtaking views. Also on this floor is a practical utility room and a W/C, with access to the rear courtyard.

Upstairs, the first floor features three double bedrooms, all enjoying the surrounding scenery, along with a shower room and a separate W/C.

A standout feature of Millbay Cottage is the detached, self-contained one-bedroom annexe, which boasts panoramic estuary views from both the living area and the adjoining full-width balcony. Truly a highlight of this remarkable property, the views here are unrivalled.

The property is accessed via a gated driveway that leads to the main cottage, annexe, double garage, and a generous parking area. The main cottage is surrounded by a charming wraparound terrace and features a delightful landscaped garden, with steps leading down to a gate that provides direct access to Mill Bay beach below.

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.
