We've owned the Roundhouse for about five years, and enjoy lovely family holidays there all year round. The spacious house is in a wonderful position above the estuary opposite Salcombe, South Devon, in the pretty village of East Portlemouth. Originally a threshing barn, it has been completely renovated as a contemporary and stylish home with accommodation for 8 people in 3 bedrooms. With the beautiful, sandy beaches of Mill Bay and Sunny Cove, the passenger ferry to Salcombe and the stunning South West Coastal Path all just a short walk away, the Roundhouse could not be better placed for a seaside holiday. The Salcombe estuary - one of the loveliest in the South West, with miles of sheltered water and fine sandy beaches - is renowned for its sailing, safe swimming, kayaking and body-boarding. The Roundhouse offers a wonderful light and airy space, with a big living room overlooking the village church, with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, stone fireplace with wood burning stove, and doors leading outside. Stairs lead upstairs to a bright, open-plan and well-equipped kitchen and dining area, with washing machine, tumble dryer, cooker and microwave. The house has three bedrooms - one double room and one twin room, plus a room sleeping four with bunk beds. There are two bathrooms - a large modern bathroom with bath and shower downstairs, and a lovely light shower room and loo upstairs. The terrace garden, sunny courtyard and an unusual covered indoor-outdoor area create a great entertainment space for dining, barbecues and games in all weather. The pretty terrace has views over the hills above Salcombe. It is dog friendly. There is ample parking on a gravel driveway for up to 3 cars. East Portlemouth is an attractive village in a peaceful rural setting on the Salcombe estuary. It is served by a regular passenger ferry and water taxi service to Salcombe, a bustling town with shops, pubs and restaurants. There are excellent pubs in the neighbouring villages of East Prawle and South Pool, and plenty of lovely cafes and restaurants to choose from in Salcombe, Kingsbridge and the local villages, including the nearby Gara Rock. Salcombe is just one mile away across the water; Kingsbridge, a pretty market town at the end of the estuary is 10 miles by car (or 4 miles by boat); and the A38 Devon Expressway is 16 miles.
