A 20th Century property in the picturesque village of East Portlemouth has been put on the market.

Arran is a splendid four bedroom detached house in a magnificent elevated position, taking full advantage of the magnificent views of the Kingsbridge and Salcombe Estuary and surrounding countryside.

The property was built by the current vendor's grandfather in 1925.

It is the first property to have been built on this hillside in East Portlemouth and it still retains the features of its period, including original windows, doors and door fittings.

There is scope for alterations and extensions to the existing accommodation subject to necessary planning consents being obtained.

The small village of East Portlemouth, with its ancient church, is about a quarter of a mile from the property.

There is a passenger ferry operating throughout the year linking the village to Salcombe, while water taxis run by the Salcombe Harbour Office are also available in the summer season.

The Kingsbridge and Salcombe Estuary is renowned as one of the loveliest in the country and, with its offshoot creeks, offers miles of sheltered waters for messing about in small boats, together with deep water moorings for larger yachts.

There are some delightful sandy beaches towards the mouth of the harbour and the coast on either side is the most spectacularly rugged and unspoilt of the whole of South Devon's coastline.

Offers in the region of £1.8m are being sought and to book a viewing contact Marchand Petit at Salcombe on 01548 844473.
