Unique Devon waterside house

Currently used as a retail shop, with a space above with planning permission for a pied-á-terre, this highly unusual Salcombe property also comes with a slipway, running mooring and swinging mooring.

The space downstairs at Cottles Quay has planning consent for light industrial use and would make an ideal art gallery or artist’s studio with views over the water. The apartment above will have views out over the fish quay and creek to farmland beyond flaking Batson Creek. The area outside the property makes an excellent outdoor entertaining space.

Cottles Quay adjoins the Estuary at the centre of the popular waterside town of Salcombe in Devon which retains much of its original character and is much in demand among both property hunters and tourists. The estuary has numerous sandy beaches, coves and sheltered anchorages for sailors while the surrounding area on land is largely unspoiled countryside.
