About this property
A bright and spacious detached house overlooking the Salcombe harbour
Enjoy serving breakfast in the sunshine with sea views, or recline on the sun loungers to catch some rays. And after a day on the beach, de-sand under the outdoor shower, fire up the barbecue and pour yourself a G&T.
A wonderfully bright and spacious detached Victorian house which is perfect for groups of friends or families. Enjoy serving breakfast in the sunshine on the front terrace with sea views, or recline on the sun loungers to catch some rays. After a day on the beach, fire up the barbecue, pour yourself a G&T and enjoy al fresco dining on either the front of back terrace.
Only a short walk into town, and brilliantly equipped, this is a fantastic base for a holiday in Salcombe with friends or family.
Lealholme has stunning estuary views over the main anchorage, and over towards Snapes Point from the front terrace and front bedrooms. Over the rooftops you can see the sandy golden beaches of East Portlemouth.
On arriving at Lealholme, climb the steps up to the front door whilst taking in the gorgeous planters blooming with flowers (the agapanthus between spring and autumn are glorious!) The sunny terrace with outdoor dining area and two sun loungers is a fabulous place for spending time outside with your guests. An outdoor shower is the perfect place to rinse off any sandy beach bums!
On the ground floor is a large open plan space with comfortable seating area, dining table and chairs for 10 and a sizeable, well-equipped kitchen. A separate sitting room is a great place to relax and watch the latest Hollywood blockbuster without interrupting the main living area.
Large bi-fold doors open from the back of the main living area onto the back terrace letting the light flood in on those balmy evenings. Here is also where the barbecue action takes place, plus some outside comfortable seating for a little drink or chill out. The ever-essential utility room and separate shower room complete the ground floor.
Upstairs to the first floor is where you’ll find four bedrooms in Lealholme. A super king and a king size bedroom each have an en suite shower room. The next bedroom is a fantastic twin room, and this shares a family bathroom with a bunk room (top bunk not suitable for under 6 year olds).
Upstairs a brand new loft conversion sleeps a couple in a wonderful super king bed with en suite bathroom, complete with sensational views from the velux balcony window.
