Extending to approximately 3,275 sq ft including the garages and arranged over three floors, The Vicarage is a substantial period residence that combines generous proportions with an abundance of natural light and truly outstanding estuary views. Whilst the property would now benefit from a comprehensive programme of refurbishment and modernisation, it retains considerable character and offers exceptional scope for transformation into one of Salcombe's finest private homes.

A particularly attractive bay-fronted sitting room is flooded with afternoon light and enjoys far-reaching views across the estuary and surrounding countryside, whilst a second principal reception room features direct access onto the front terrace, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the stunning outlook and coastal setting. The various reception spaces provide excellent flexibility for formal entertaining, family living or home working.

The kitchen/dining room occupies a generous footprint and overlooks the garden, offering an excellent foundation for a contemporary family kitchen. Adjoining utility and boot room facilities provide useful practical space and rear access to the garden.

Across the upper floors are seven well-proportioned bedrooms, many of which enjoy exceptional views over the estuary, sandy shoreline and open sea beyond. Several rooms feature attractive bay windows and dual aspects, ensuring an abundance of natural light and making the most of the property's enviable elevated position. The principal bedrooms are particularly impressive, with panoramic vistas that serve as a constant reminder of the property's unique waterfront setting. The existing accommodation also includes two bathrooms, one serving each of the upper floors.

Outside, the property sits within a generous plot with gardens surrounding the house. The grounds provide ample space for landscaping, outdoor entertaining and family enjoyment, whilst also presenting significant potential for extension or redevelopment subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. Two garages and additional parking enhance the property's practicality and further add to its appeal.

Properties of this scale, position and potential rarely come to the market in Salcombe.
