This unique opportunity involves two semi-detached cottages that have been in the same family for nearly a century, each offering significant potential for modernization. Nestled alongside a creek of the Salcombe estuary, these properties are positioned in a picturesque, waterside location within the charming village of South Pool.
South Pool is recognized for its unspoiled beauty and vibrant community atmosphere. The village lies within an area designated as Outstanding Natural Beauty and features access to walking paths, a historic 13th-century church, and the well-loved Millbrook Inn. The surrounding areas offer various outdoor activities, including sailing in Salcombe and exploring scenic routes along the coastline towards Kingsbridge.
These unlisted cottages present an exciting renovation project. They are sold as one entity but are on separate titles, allowing for the possibility of restoring them back into two distinct homes or transforming them into a single spacious residence, subject to planning permissions. Each cottage currently has two bedrooms, a reception room, kitchen space (or remnants of it), and a bathroom—ideal for reconfiguration to fit modern living needs.
The outdoor space includes a level lawn adorned with primroses at the front and a larger garden at the rear that was previously utilized as a vegetable garden. This area boasts direct views of the estuary, enhancing its appeal for potential landscaping or expansion projects. Additionally, there is a stone barn on-site that could serve various purposes following renovation.
Located approximately half a mile from South Pool’s village center, this property is accessible yet offers tranquility away from bustling areas. Essential services such as mains water and electricity are connected; however, private drainage does not conform to current regulations and would need attention upon renovation. High-speed broadband is available here as well.
Investors seeking a project with enviable views in an attractive locale may find these cottages an exceptional opportunity to craft something truly special while benefiting from proximity to local amenities and recreational activities in one of Devon’s most desirable regions.
