About this property
Situated in a quiet location above the picturesque town of Salcombe, 2 North Crest House is a pleasant two-storey mid terrace house a short walk away from the bustling town centre.
This spacious two-bedroom property is accessed from the shared garden at the front. Leading in to a hallway, a flight of stairs leads to a small family bathroom with a bath, shower (over) w.c and basin and further stairs open on to a light and airy landing complete with dining table and chairs for four guests. A fully fitted kitchen with modern appliances offers stunning views across the town towards Batson Creek and the Salcombe Estuary. Double French doors open into a spacious and comfortable lounge with comfortable sofa’s, occasional furniture and a coal-effect gas fire.
Up a further flight of stairs are the bedrooms and a further family bathroom with shower cubicle, w.c and wash-hand basin. The master bedroom provides a comfortable King-sized bed, drawers and a hanging rail. The second bedroom has two single beds and a useful “day bed” which can be used as a sofa or an additional third bed on request. In addition, private parking for one car is provided nearby at the rear of the property.
The ideal base for a coastal break, take the short walk into central Salcombe and catch the passenger ferry over to the sandy beaches at East Portlemouth. Alternatively, try your hand at sailing, or simply enjoy the town’s selection of eateries.
Salcombe is a popular destination for walkers and families looking for a holiday by the sea and was once a major port. There are two pretty beaches within a short distance, North Sands and South Sands and further on is the National Trust property Overbeck’s where you can wander through the subtropical gardens. Why not have a more adventurous day and try out the watersports available on the estuary including surfing, kayaking or a more leisurely boat trip? Whilst staying in Salcombe you must take advantage of the locally sourced seafood which is served in many of the restaurants, pubs, cafés and delicatessens. The southern tip of Devon provides some spectacular scenery and picturesque vistas with a number of sandy beaches, lovely villages with thatched cottages and some fantastic opportunities for walking, including the South West Coast path.

Property light and airy with wonderful views at back . Very well equipped in the kitchen with plenty of room . Good location and lovely showers and bathroom which makes it a shame the kitchen surface is unsuitable for rented property as deteriorating wood . The covers for dining chairs and sofas visibly grubby . A great shame for a nice clean propert otherwise . White or cream covers not good choices.

There were one or two niggles, as below: 1). The blinds in the living room - on our first evening I let both blinds down and they were fine when we went to bed - in the morning, both sets of canvas had fallen off the rollers and were in a heap on the floor. As the canvas is only stuck to the metal roller with sticky tape, this is bound to keep failing - quality blinds of this type usually have a slot cut along the length of the metal roller so the top of the canvas can be pushed and fixed into it. I would politely suggest that the owners replace what they have with some that are made like this. If they fix what's there, it will fail again. I did make them aware of the problem and I presume it will be rectified promptly. 2). There is a significant draught coming through the double-glazed master bedroom window. It's actually coming in through the part of the window that opens, along the left and bottom edges. That window doesn't look very old - as a double-glazed unit it should be sealed, it's been poorly made. If it is still under warranty the owners would be well advised to contact their supplier so they can fix it. Apart from the draughts, it doesn't keep out the noise of the local seagulls, who like to land on the roof and squawk loudly at dawn! 3). We had trouble locating the parking space - some slightly clearer directions as to its whereabouts would be welcome. As it happens I didn't use it anyway because it is far too small for my Insignia - you would only get a very small car in it. Also, as there was a vehicle was parked alongside it, and another one in front of the adjacent garage, it was impossible to turn round. This meant we would have had to back out right down the long lane every time we wanted to go out. I did this once and that was enough. As the walk from the space to the house is so long, it seemed pointless going through that pain anyway so I parked on the streets. 4). When we arrived the kettle was broken - I only mention this because the owner came straight round and replaced it so I just wanted to say, excellent service! Aside from these niggles, the property is sizeable, has loads of character, was clean and well equipped. The views from the kitchen and master bedroom are truly stunning. I think the price is fair, considering Salcombe is a very upmarket seaside town. I was impressed that someone came around with a new kettle the moment I reported that the one supplied was broken - this was excellent service. Highly recommended.
