Sandhills Road, Salcombe

2 Bedroom Flat for sale in Salcombe

1 2 2

Occupying the first floor of an intimate development of just three apartments, 1 St Elmo Lodge enjoys an enviable position on sought-after Sandhills Road. Its elevated setting captures far-reaching views across the wooded valley, the National Trust coastline and towards the sea, while North Sands beach lies approximately five minutes away on foot. Bright, well-maintained interiors, a remarkable full-width balcony and allocated parking combine to create an appealing Salcombe home, coastal retreat or holiday investment.

Approached from the parking area, the apartment benefits from its own private entrance. This opens into a spacious central hallway, from which the accommodation flows in a practical and well-balanced arrangement. The light, neutral decorative scheme gives an immediate sense of calm and provides an understated backdrop for furnishings and artwork.

The reception room is a wonderfully inviting space for relaxing and entertaining. There is ample room for comfortable seating as well as a substantial dining table, allowing family and friends to gather with ease after a day on the water or at the beach. Glazed double doors frame the leafy outlook and open directly onto the balcony, drawing daylight deep into the room and creating a seamless connection between inside and out. In warmer weather, the doors can stand open to welcome the coastal air, while the dining area is ideally positioned for sociable lunches and leisurely evening meals.

The adjacent kitchen is well equipped and thoughtfully arranged, with a generous run of worktop providing useful preparation space. Painted cabinetry, tiled splashbacks and integrated cooking facilities are complemented by a wide window above the sink, which brings in abundant natural light and offers a pleasant outlook. Its position close to the reception and dining area makes serving and entertaining particularly convenient, while retaining a distinct working zone.

The principal bedroom is a comfortable double with fitted storage and its own en-suite shower room. Sliding glazed doors open onto the balcony, so the room shares the apartment’s glorious outlook and benefits from direct access outside. Waking to the changing colours of the valley and glimpses towards the coast is a memorable feature, while the balcony offers a peaceful spot for an early coffee. The en-suite is neatly appointed with a glazed shower enclosure, wash basin and WC.

Bedroom two is also a genuine double and is currently arranged with twin beds, making it highly adaptable for visiting guests or family. A broad window overlooks the surrounding greenery and fills the room with light. The proportions would equally suit a generous home office or a combined guest room and workspace, should this be preferred.

Serving the second bedroom and general accommodation is the family bathroom. This is unusually versatile, offering both a panelled bath and a separate glazed shower enclosure, together with a wash basin and WC. Pale tiling and recessed lighting create a fresh, practical finish.

Undoubtedly the defining feature of 1 St Elmo Lodge is its fabulous full-width balcony. Reached from both the reception room and principal bedroom, this expansive terrace acts as an additional living area during the warmer months. There is space for a dining table, chairs and a parasol, all set behind a contemporary glass balustrade that preserves the open aspect. From here, the outlook sweeps across mature gardens, wooded slopes and the valley to the National Trust coastline and sea beyond. It is an exceptional setting for breakfast in the sunshine, relaxed drinks or supper beneath an evening sky.

Outside, the mature planting surrounding the building enhances the sense of privacy and establishes a verdant coastal atmosphere. An allocated parking space is a valuable asset in Salcombe, particularly in such a convenient location. The property is offered with a share of the freehold.

Salcombe is one of South Devon’s most desirable waterside towns, celebrated for its sheltered estuary, sandy beaches and exceptional sailing. North Sands, with its beach and popular waterfront dining, is within an easy walk, while the town centre offers independent shops, galleries, cafés, restaurants and pubs. Coastal paths and National Trust countryside provide superb walking nearby, and regular bus links connect Salcombe with Kingsbridge, where a broader range of everyday amenities can be found.
