Tucked away in the picturesque village of East Portlemouth, Compass Cottage is a spacious detached four-bedroom home offering a rare opportunity to create your dream property in one of the South Hams’ most desirable locations. Just a 10-minute walk from the East Portlemouth ferry to Salcombe and moments from the stunning local beaches, the setting is truly exceptional.
Currently arranged over two self-contained levels, the layout offers great flexibility—ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or reconfiguring into one expansive family home.
On the lower ground floor, you'll find a central kitchen flanked by two bedrooms and a separate shower room. The upper floor features a generous entrance hall, a bright kitchen-diner, two additional bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate shower room. The spacious sitting room, filled with natural light, opens onto a balcony with views across the estuary to Salcombe.
Externally, the property benefits from off-street parking for 2 to 3 cars, a garage, and a well-maintained garden offering a peaceful outdoor space to unwind.
While Compass Cottage would benefit from modernisation, it presents an exciting opportunity to update and personalise a home in an unrivalled coastal location.
Just half a mile from East Portlemouth’s sandy beaches and close to the dramatic coastline of Gara Rock and the nearby village of East Prawle, this location offers easy access to the sailing waters of Salcombe, which can be reached quickly and easily via a small passenger ferry that operates year-round (or by water taxi after 5:30 pm during the high season). There are many scenic walks nearby, and access to the estuary and sandy beaches is all close at hand. Salcombe offers numerous inns, restaurants, and shops, along with a variety of water sports and activities.
