Description

Situated on one of Salcombe's most desirable roads, The Vicarage offers a unique opportunity to acquire a substantial detached residence with stunning estuary views. This impressive period home spans approximately 3,275 square feet and is set within a generous plot, providing ample space for landscaping and outdoor activities. Although the property requires comprehensive refurbishment throughout, it retains significant character and presents an exciting canvas for transformation into a luxurious family home or coastal retreat. The accommodation features three spacious reception rooms, each boasting excellent ceiling heights and large windows that frame the picturesque landscape. A charming bay-fronted sitting room is filled with afternoon light and offers breathtaking views across the estuary. The kitchen/dining room, which overlooks the garden, provides a solid foundation for a contemporary kitchen, while adjoining utility and boot room facilities enhance practicality. The upper floors host seven well-proportioned bedrooms, many with exceptional views of the estuary and sandy shoreline. The principal bedrooms are particularly noteworthy, featuring panoramic vistas that highlight the property's unique waterfront position. The existing layout includes two bathrooms serving the upper floors. Outside, the extensive gardens surrounding the house present significant potential for extension or redevelopment, subject to necessary planning consents. With two garages and additional parking, this property combines practicality with potential. The Vicarage represents a rare opportunity to secure a landmark property in Salcombe, tailored to individual specifications.

Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

The Vicarage is a remarkable opportunity to acquire a spacious detached residence in one of Salcombe's most coveted locations, featuring stunning estuary views and an expansive garden. With a guide price of £1,250,000, this property is significantly below the local average of £657/sqf, making it an enticing entry point for buyers looking to invest in a project with substantial potential.

While the interiors are dated and require a comprehensive refurbishment throughout, this provides a blank canvas for the new owner to create a luxurious family home or upscale coastal retreat. The property boasts generous proportions, including three impressive reception rooms and seven well-sized bedrooms, many with breathtaking views. The expansive kitchen/dining area offers an excellent foundation for modernisation, allowing for an open-plan design that suits contemporary living. The overall project scale is heavy, but the intrinsic character and desirable location present an exceptional opportunity for transformation and value creation.

Key opportunities

  • Stunning estuary views from multiple rooms that can be maximized with modern design.
  • Generous proportions across three floors, allowing for flexible reconfiguration of spaces.
  • An expansive garden space that could be transformed into a beautiful outdoor area, enhancing the coastal living experience.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£250,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
