About this property
Situated on Island Street in Salcombe, just yards from the shops, restaurants and quayside, sits Dory Cottage, a three-bedroom property with two fabulous outside terraces.
Wonderful for those with older children, or for a group of friends looking for a central Salcombe base, Dory Cottage benefits from parking for one car in a garage, as well as an excellent outdoor hot water shower and storage area for wetsuits – perfect for those returning from a beach day!
Walk up the two flights of steps to access the property, where you enter into the open plan living accommodation; the room comprises a spacious lounge with comfortable sofa and smart TV, plus a dining area with traditional oak furniture seating six, and a beautiful duck-egg blue kitchen, beyond which is a handy utility room and family bathroom.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms; one with 5’ king size bed and smart TV, one with two 2'6" beds (which can be made up as a 5' king size bed), and one double room with a 4'6" bed.
For those seeking a quiet spot, a steep narrow ladder staircase leads up to the second-floor attic den with a large floor sofa and a TV, plus splendid views towards to creek and Salcombe estuary.
Head outside and relax on one of two sun terraces, one with a BBQ and al fresco dining equipment, and one with an outdoor sofa!
