Batson House is a pretty three storey Victorian house, situated within a few yards of the idyllic tidal creek at Batson, and just a 15 minute ( mostly flat ) walk into Salcombe.
The house has been stylishly renovated and provides excellent, well presented, family accommodation, currently being used as a second home and successful and popular holiday let.
At the front of the house is a stone paved terrace, partly covered by a verandah, and the front door opens into the spacious, open plan, kitchen/dining room with exposed boarded flooring, bay window and fitted kitchen. A door from here leads through to the large, light, sitting room, also with exposed boarded flooring, bay window, and fireplace with woodburner.
To the rear is the utility room and cloakroom and stairs from the kitchen/dining room rise to the first floor with bedroom/shower room suite and two further bedrooms and bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have fitted wardrobe cupboards and, on the second floor is the principal bedroom/shower room suite and, again, two of the bedrooms having fitted wardrobe cupboards. There are good quality fixtures and fittings throughout the house.
The second floor landing has a full height, glazed, gable end with door to a walkway across to the good sized, sloping, garden to the rear, enclosed by a stone wall along one side and post and rail fencing to the others.
To the front of the house is a smaller, partly walled, garden with level lawn and paved terrace area at the end with a glimpse of the creek.
Steps lead down to the road and, on the opposite side of the road, is a large parking area and a stone built boathouse.

A more extensive range of local amenities, including supermarkets, are available in the picturesque nearby market town of Kingsbridge, at the head of the Kingsbridge Estuary.
