Unique Devon waterside house
This property has direct access to the water and could be converted to suit an artist looking for a studio with a pied a terre above


Currently used as a retail shop, with a space above with planning permission for a pied-á-terre, this highly unusual Salcombe property also comes with a slipway, running mooring and swinging mooring.
The space downstairs at Cottles Quay has planning consent for light industrial use and would make an ideal art gallery or artist's studio with views over the water. The apartment above will have views out over the fish quay and creek to farmland beyond flaking Batson Creek. The area outside the property makes an excellent outdoor entertaining space.
