Nestled above the pretty town of Salcombe, Seafern House is a beautifully appointed large luxury home that perfectly blends contemporary style with the charm of coastal living. Offering spacious, light-filled interiors, the property features an open-plan, large kitchen and dining area that flows seamlessly onto a sun-drenched terrace, creating the ideal space for both entertaining and peaceful relaxation in the garden. The rear of the house boasts huge glass windows, flooding the rooms with natural light and offering uninterrupted views of the estuary beyond.
The terrace leads out to beautifully landscaped gardens, where a barbecue invites guests to enjoy alfresco dining in the warm sea air. Whether you're grilling fresh local seafood or enjoying a relaxed family meal, the gardens provide a perfect setting to soak up the scenery. The outdoor space is equally ideal for leisurely afternoons with loved ones or your four-legged companions, as the dog-friendly property ensures everyone is welcome.
Inside, guests can enjoy a range of thoughtful amenities, including the well-equipped modern kitchen, two luxury sitting rooms, with comfy sofas, outstanding views and a woodburner for cosy nights in, plus there is a desk for working space if you truly have to. Each of the five bedrooms at Seafern House has been thoughtfully designed to create a calm and restful atmosphere, with soft coastal decor, crisp white linens, and carefully chosen textures that echo the setting beyond. Generously proportioned and bathed in natural light, the rooms offer a soothing sanctuary after a day on the water or exploring the South Devon coast. The principal bedroom is a standout, offering estuary glimpses and a sense of quiet seclusion, complete with a sleek en suite featuring a walk-in rainfall shower and contemporary fittings. The additional bedrooms are equally welcoming — two king size and a versatile twin room, ideal for families or friends travelling together. The additional single room is perfect for elderly relatives or those teens seeking privacy. Each space is curated with comfort in mind, from the plush bedding to the elegant, uncluttered design that invites you to fully unwind. The family bathroom continues the modern aesthetic, with a deep bath for long soaks, a shower, and underfloor heating to keep toes toasty in cooler months. Whether you're returning from the beach or enjoying a slow start to the morning, every detail is considered for a luxurious yet laid-back stay. The useful stand alone shower room is perfect after a day on the beach and refresh before sundowners.
For added indulgence, there is the potential to hire a hot tub, offering a luxurious way to unwind and take in the stunning surroundings. Whether you're enjoying alfresco dining on the terrace, watching the boats on the water, or exploring the stunning coastline, Seafern House offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and location.
The peaceful location provides a luxury escape, yet the bustling centre of Salcombe is just a short stroll away down the hill, offering a selection of independent shops, restaurants, and picturesque beaches.
