Lower Collat on Farm lies inside the parish of Salcombe and about a mile, as the crow flies, from the estuary. The
property is at the end of a quiet country lane and nestles peacefully towards the head of a valley which leads via
footpaths to North Sands beach and the coast path beyond.
This is a place where one can enjoy tranquil seclusion without being isolated. The village amenities of Malborough
are just 3/4 of a mile to the north west, including filling station/shop, pubs, restaurant, churc h, primary school and the
village hall. 10 minutes drive away is the bustling market town of Kingsbridge with excellent shopping facilities,
sports centre and a highly rated school.
Salcombe itself lies beside one of the most beautiful estuaries in the world, with miles of sheltered water, perfect for
sailing and boating. There are golden beaches on either side of the estuary and spectacular cliff walks over National
Trust headlands leading to scattered coves. Within the town there is a good range of pubs, restaurants and select
leisurewear shops, together with waterfront quays and mooring pont oons.
There are golf courses nearby at Thurlestone, Bigbury and Dartmout h, whilst the famous Dartmoor National Park is
only 15 miles to the north. There are mainline rail stations at Totnes and Newton Abbot and regional airports at
Plymouth and Exeter.
DESCRIP TION
Lower Collat on Farm is a fine example of a Devon Longhous e, the oldest part of which is thought to date back at
least 450 years. From its wonderful south facing position it enjoys splendid views over surrounding count ryside.
The house has in recent years been skilfully restored and refurbished to an exceptionally high standard and the
accommodation includes three well proportioned reception rooms, a splendid farmhous e kitchen and four bedrooms.
To the east of the main house The Coach House has been converted in the last few years into a really comfortable
and attractive detached cottage, ancillary to the farmhouse and providing excellent accommodation for family,
guests or with good letting potential.
