About The Pink House
At the end of a quiet and secluded private road near to the heart of Salcombe and perched at the top of a steep driveway, is Sunny Hill. Perkily pink, it sits serenely above the town. Surrounded by gardens and not overlooked, hugged from behind by the hill and woods above, this detached house is laid out with exceptionally light and spacious accommodation across two floors. The property has recently been given a total makeover bringing it totally up to date with modern requirements.
The South and West facing landscaped gardens surrounding the property have been thoughtfully designed and planted. They provide various paved sun terraces and grassy lawn areas for outdoor dining and lounging, with mature shrubs around the perimeter and dotted throughout, with a viewing point out to the harbour and the sea beyond.
At the top of the expansive block paved driveway, there is ample parking for two to three cars, alongside a double garage.
The gardens are dog proof, with secure fencing all around and accessibility from the rear and front of the property, making this a reassuringly dog friendly property.
The Space
The front door opens onto a spacious hallway with plenty of storage in double cupboards, with access to the kitchen to the right and a well-lit, very generously sized utility room to the rear of the house, with Bosch appliances (washing machine and tumble dryer), double drainer sink, fridge freezer, microwave and excellent storage. This is immediately adjacent to the downstairs shower room (and toilet) to the rear, perfect for when coming straight in from the beach. The house benefits from underfloor heating throughout making it warm and cosy even in the cooler months.
The living rooms on the ground floor are all very well-proportioned and flow comfortably with large openings overlooking the garden, town, and estuary beyond. The first of these rooms is the substantial newly installed kitchen/breakfast room, in tasteful pale greys, with a Belfast style sink with brass fittings, the obligatory dishwasher, induction hob, electric oven, Nespresso coffee machine and fridge. There is also a dining table in the bay window for more relaxed dining.
Between the kitchen and wonderfully large sitting room there’s a spacious multi-purpose room – part TV room, part glorious sun room/dining room with cooling fawn tiles underfoot and a large L-shaped sofa.
This room has access from either side of the building, and a huge, tented glass ceiling with blinds, ensuring you can regulate the temperature and shade to your taste. The dining table seats eight and gives great views over the town and Salcombe harbour, either dazzling in the sunshine or twinkling with the town’s lights at night.
There is an oak staircase leading up to a mezzanine landing above with a fußball table to entertain, plus a one person lift for those less able to tackle the stairs (access on request).
At the far end of the ground floor, is a splendid sitting room, with three large sofas and a very calming ambience. Beautifully appointed in muted tones, it is certainly a room to relax in. Above the fireplace there is a large flat screen wall-mounted TV.
On the first floor there are four large bedrooms and two modern family shower rooms. At the east end of the building is the superb master bedroom with a super-king sized bed, an angular shaped south-facing window with views of the estuary and another window overlooking the garden. This room has impressive storage and a home office with two monitors and keyboard, if you need to work, write or study. The house also benefits from super-fast satellite internet with Starlink.
Throughout the property there are thoughtful touches of good taste, with delightful art prints depicting local villages and seaside themes, stylish mirrors, and rugs that have been carefully chosen. The shower rooms are fabulous, with beautiful tiling, brass fixtures and every consideration taken care of.
There are two twin rooms, with very comfortable beds, smart TVs and décor all following the chic theme of the rest of this home. At the other end of the landing is another very spacious super-king bedroom, with views of the harbour from the large Velux window and plenty of hanging space and storage.
