4 Bed Detached House For Sale

The Orchard is a stunning detached, four bedroom property located in Higher Batson, just a short walk from Batson Creek and only a little further to Salcombe town centre. Recently and extensively renovated in 2024 to an exceptionally high standard, the property takes full advantage of its tranquil setting, offering mesmerising countryside and creek views. The Orchard provides a spacious, modern, and light filled home, complete with a wonderful balcony to enjoy the views, a double garage, ample off road parking, and a generous garden extending to approximately ¾ of an acre.

The accommodation itself is truly beautiful, thoughtfully reflecting its surroundings with natural finishes and neutral tones. You enter into a spacious entrance hall, which leads to a cosy sitting room complete with a log burner. This room benefits from bi-fold doors that open onto the front terrace and features a visually stunning wooden-clad wall, a standout feature of the space. A door from the entrance hall also leads to a convenient utility room, which has outdoor access, and a W/C.

A small staircase leads to the heart of the home – the open plan kitchen and dining area. This space is simply divine, making the most of its idyllic location with wall-length glass sliding doors that open up onto the balcony. From here, you can soak in views of the surrounding countryside and down towards Batson Creek, making it a perfect spot for entertaining or dining al fresco. The wooden-clad feature wall is echoed here, ensuring great flow throughout the home.

From the entrance hall, a door leads to the luxurious master suite. You enter through the bespoke en-suite bathroom, which boasts a his-and-her sink, walk in shower, and a bath. Stairs then lead down to the master bedroom, which offers ample storage and double doors that open onto the rear terrace.

The remaining three bedrooms are located via stairs leading down from the main entrance hall. All three bedrooms enjoy wonderful views, with two featuring en-suite shower rooms. A further family bathroom can also be found on this lower ground floor.

Outside, the property is approached via a private driveway that leads to the double garage and offers ample off-road parking for 3-4 vehicles. The generous gardens extend to approximately ¾ of an acre and have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a tiered effect, with banks and level lawns that gently slope down to a peaceful stream at the bottom. The property also benefits from front and rear terraces, providing the perfect spaces for relaxing and enjoying the stunning views of Batson, Snapes Point and head of the creek.

Batson is a hamlet located at the edge of Salcombe and lying on either side of an enchanting and peaceful valley at the head of Batson Creek. The Creek itself leads into Salcombe Harbour. The town centre is located less than a mile away, whilst nearer still are the boat parks, slipways and mooring pontoons of Batson and Shadycombe Creeks.

The beautiful estuary town of Salcombe is located in the heart of the South Devon region known as the South Hams, which is known for having an uncommonly temperate climate, verdant unspoilt countryside, hidden combs and a spectacular coastline. Arguably one of the most sought after waterfront locations in the UK, Salcombe is the perfect setting for this beautiful home. Once a thriving fishing village, Salcombe still retains much of its original charm and character. The property sits within the short distance of the town, with its many restaurants, local pubs and boutique shops. More extensive shopping and amenities are available in Kingsbridge. The Salcombe Estuary has numerous sandy beaches, coves and sheltered anchorages, all of which make it an excellent base for dingy sailing, water sports, boating and long walks along the beautiful coastline.
