The property is accessed via the quiet tidal road that runs between the popular villages of South Pool and East Portlemouth, and is within easy reach of Salcombe either by boat or via the passenger ferry and water taxi service from East Portlemouth. East Portlemouth, the Salcombe Estuary and the surrounding creeks and South Hams coastline are arguably some of the most sought after waterfront locations in the UK, with sheltered waters, deep water moorings and sandy beaches. Salcombe is a vibrant town, which retains much of its original charm from the days when it was a prosperous fishing village. There are a wealth of restaurants, pubs, designer clothes shops, quays and mooring pontoons. Waterhead provides a haven of tranquillity whilst being within easy reach of the vibrant activity of Salcombe. The Salcombe estuary is well regarded as an outstanding spot for dinghy sailing, water sports and boating. Salcombe is also a famous yachting centre and provides an ideal cruising base from where to explore France, The Channel Islands and the harbours and creeks of the West Country. The A38 Devon Expressway is about 16 miles to the north and links with the motorway network via the M5 at Exeter. There are regular rail services to London, The Midlands, and The North from Totnes.

Waterhead The private drive leading to Waterhead descends towards the creek with the land either side, opening up the far reaching water and countryside views. A large parking and turning area sits in the centre of the three properties and the attractive façade of the farmhouse with the estuary behind creates a welcoming first impression. The accommodation flows extremely well, offers great flexibility and is immaculately presented throughout thanks to the extensive remodelling and refurbishment undertaken by the current owners. The farmhouse contains some wonderful features, including an impressive original fireplace. The layout is open plan, with a high specification kitchen forming the focal point of the room and a dining area with westerly views down the creek. The conservatory is accessed from the kitchen, which leads to a balcony overlooking the water. Planning permission has been granted to replace the current conservatory with a larger and more contemporary design to take advantage of the spectacular views. Also on the ground floor is a generous bedroom with en suite bathroom, finished to an exceptional standard. The attention to detail in the refurbishment continues to the first floor where there are four further bedrooms, two of which have en suite facilities as well as a separate family bathroom.

The Barn A fun and unique feature of Waterhead is the underground passageway that links the farmhouse with the barn. This ensures the property is ideal for entertaining with ample reception space and bedroom accommodation. The passageway can also be securely locked to separate the barn from the main house. The immaculate presentation continues to the barn, which was previously a threshing barn and maintains the impressive proportions and ceiling heights. A magnificent spiral staircase leads from the drawing room to a first floor sitting room with an area of glazed floor looking down to room below. This mezzanine room has magnificent views over the roof of the farmhouse to the creek beyond and looks down over the kitchen below. The kitchen has a central island, large pantry and is fitted with the latest modern appliances. Doors lead out to a patio area ideal for outdoor dining. Beyond the kitchen is a bedroom with en suite shower room and steps lead down to the principal bedroom, also with en suite shower room and two sets of double doors leading to a patio, beyond which is a the large gravelled area leading to the Linhay

The Linhay This immaculately refurbished former linhay provides additional accommodation for guests, with a large open plan living room and kitchen area with a mostly glazed front giving superb and far reaching views over the grounds towards Waterhead Creek. The principal bedroom is on the ground floor along with a separate shower room and the second bedroom is accessed via a spiral staircase.
