2 Lower Collaton, Collaton, Salcombe, Devon TQ7 3DJ Salcombe 3 miles, Kingsbridge 4 miles, Totnes 16 miles (Paddington about 3 hours) A beautifully restored 4 bedroom Devon Longhouse together with detached 3 bedroom Coach House set in approximately 1 acre. Lower Collaton Farm lies inside the parish of Salcombe and about a mile, as the crow flies, from the estuary. The property is at the end of a quiet country lane and nestles peacefully towards the head of a valley which leads via footpaths to North Sands beach and the coast path beyond. This is a place where one can enjoy tranquil seclusion without being isolated. The village amenities of Malborough are just 3/4 of a mile to the North West, including filling station station/shop, pubs, restaurants, church, primary school and the village hall. Salcombe itself lies beside one of the most beautiful estuaries in the world, with miles of sheltered water, perfect for sailing and boating. There are golden spectacular cliff walks over National Trust headlands leading to scattered coves. Within the town there is a good range of pubs, restaurants and select leisurewear shops, together with waterfront quays and mooring pontoons. Lower Collaton Farm is a fine example of a Devon Longhouse, the oldest part of which is thought to date back at least 450 years. From its wonderful South facing position it enjoys splendid views over surrounding countryside. The house has in recent years been skilfully restored and refurbished to an exceptionally high standard and the accommodation includes three well proportioned reception rooms, a splendid farmhouse kitchen and four bedrooms. To the East of the main house The Coach House has been converted in the last few years into a really comfortable and attractive detached cottage, ancillary to the farmhouse and providing excellent accommodation for family, guests or with good letting potential.
