Batson House is a spacious and beautifully presented holiday home within a few steps of the pretty tidal creek at Batson, and just a 15 minute (mostly level) walk into Salcombe.
The three-storey Victorian house has been extensively renovated in recent years to provide a high standard of comfort for two-three families (or an extended family party), adult groups or those simply looking for a large holiday retreat in a mostly quiet and sought-after location on the edge of the town.
Overlooking the head of pretty Batson Creek, a mostly level walk of approximately 3/4 mile meanders via the banks of the tidal estuary into Island Street and onto Salcombe itself, with its beautiful sailing harbour, sandy beaches, narrow streets and stunning views.
A flight of stone steps lead up to the front garden and to the canopied main entrance at the front of the house
A good sized open-plan space on the ground floor has a large dining area with table and chairs, bookshelves with games, DVDs and books, and attractive bay window with desk and chair.
Two high chairs are available.
The modern kitchen has an extensive range of fitted units, breakfast bar, and is equipped with a four-ring halogen hob, integrated electric double oven and dishwasher, microwave and fridge.
There is room here also to hang/dry wetsuits etc and a separate cloakroom with w.c and basin.
Lovely oak stairs lead up from the kitchen to the first floor bedrooms and bathroom.
The tastefully furnished and well equipped sitting area has two double sofas, armchair, oak tables and dresser, wood-burning stove with oak mantle, widescreen TV (with FreeSat), DVD player and bay window overlooking the front garden.
