DESCRIPTION With a breath-taking position on South Sands beach, complete with direct access to its glorious sands, The Reach is a truly unique location for the ten new luxury waterfront apartments that are being built within this fabulous original 1930s building. Situated in the South Hams is the beautiful town of Salcombe – boutique shops, art galleries, restaurants and eateries come together to suit the enviable lifestyle that this development has to offer. Salcombe is also very popular for its water-sports, with the spectacular views across the estuary, glorious beaches and hills providing the perfect backdrop for scenic walks and outdoor activity. Spoilt for choice, surrounded by beauty spots including North Sands and Fort Charles, there are plenty of areas to explore. If staying close to home, not only do you have a beach on your doorstep as well as private parking, you can enjoy the proximity to the hotel's dining and spa facilities within this luxury complex.
THE DESIGN Sympathetically designed to slot seamlessly into its 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' and the adjacent listed lifeboat station, the apartments are orientated towards the sea views, with private balconies and expansive windows to enjoy the enviable location. Their design echoes the traditional boat building structures and boathouses that can be seen along the estuary. Salcombe's boatbuilding heritage is also embraced through the apartments' semi-industrial aesthetic of dark grey and cedar cladding creating clean, linear lines. Frame-less glass balustrades and concealed gutters create a seamless appearance. The interiors of the apartments are flooded with natural light with their full-length windows and high ceilings; giving a spacious and contemporary feel.
THE PENTHOUSE At every stage, from architectural design to interior finish, The Penthouse apartment at The Reach has been designed to impress. Accessible by elevator, this grand home has everything you need for both a weekend of entertaining and a few days escape from the world. Uninterrupted sea views are made centre stage in this home, with a private balcony leading out from the main living space, maximising on the feeling of space and escape that this stunning property offers. The spacious open plan kitchen and dining area make the perfect place to host, with a separate utility and preparation area conveniently located. Access to the mezzanine floor and the crow's nest invites you outside to enjoy the sea air and look out across the South Sands Beach below. The penthouse boasts 4 generous double bedrooms each with its own accompanying en suite as well as an impressive internal winter garden, open to the dark coastal night sky.
PLACE TO VISIT Situated just moments from the water at South Sands Beach, The Penthouse at The Reach offers much in the way of places to visit. On bright and warm summer days the South Hams coastline offers no better place to be, with the South West Coast path leading straight past your front door and down to the stunning beaches and coves of the South West. The sandy safe shores of Soar Mill Cove and Bolberry Down are a special treat for those who venture down, with the Iron Age Fort at Bolt Head attracting many a passing walker. A haven for water sports fans, the gentle waters around Salcombe provide the perfect location for keen kayakers, paddle boarders and swimmers to get their fix, with the popular surf beach of Bantham located only a short drive away. A gentle 30 minute walk takes you straight into the town centre of Salcombe, host to some of the best independent shops, cafes and restaurants in the South West. The multi-award winning Salcombe Gin company located in the town offers a delightful afternoon activity of gin distillery as well as the accompanying bar and retail shop. The outstanding and immersive Dartmoor National Park is easily accessible by car and further expands the weekend potential of this location, offering cosy countryside pubs and rewarding walks and hikes.
YOUR NEW HOME A sanctuary, a place to escape and a place to relax; The Penthouse at The Reach already has it all. From its stunning location within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, to the architectural and interior features which make this apartment a home, an opportunity for space and a stress free haven awaits. Let the coastal lifestyle which this waterside property offers invite you in; with the penthouse view out to the water east facing, the sunrise on a clear day is impossible to miss. A fresh coffee on the balcony to watch your private sunrise show starts the day off more beautifully than most, with the slow change of the tide setting the pace for the rest of the day. From there the choice to stay in or venture out into the surrounding landscape is all yours, with an array of options to choose from. Let home be your anchor, let your home be The Penthouse at The Reach.
