The property
Estuary House is a spacious and very well presented holiday home, just a few short steps from the tidal estuary in the pretty village of South Pool.
The two-storey detached house has been significantly refurbished in recent years to provide a high standard of accommodation for families, couples or those simply looking for a comfortable holiday retreat in a sought-after location with quick access to the Kingsbridge/Salcombe estuary.
The unique split-level accommodation has five good-sized bedrooms, three bath/shower rooms and even two kitchens, whilst there is a large, private drive with space for a number of cars, boat and trailer.
Set in a conservation area, in an idyllic location in the very heart of the picturesque village of South Pool within a few yards of the tidal estuary, and just a short walk to the award-winning Millbrook Inn.
Boats, canoes or paddle boards can be launched nearby for delightful water trips to the towns of Salcombe and Kingsbridge.
A Canadian canoe is available, along with crab lines, buckets and nets for use on the village pontoon.
Nearby is the stunning Start Bay coastline, with miles of beautiful beaches and the National Trust coastal path - for spectacular walks through the villages of Torcross, Beesands and Hallsands, and on as far as the Start Point lighthouse - is just a short 10-15 minute drive away.
