Location

Kiln Reach enjoys a glorious waterside location fronting onto the upper reaches of the Salcombe and Kingsbridge Estuary and enjoying sensational views over a wide expanse of water.   

The property is positioned at the edge of the village of West Charleton, about 1.5 miles from the centre of Kingsbridge, a market town with a vibrant local community, offering a good range of shops, restaurants and pubs and the renowned secondary school, Kingsbridge Community College.

West Charleton itself has a pub, church and primary school. The stunning surfing beach of Bantham and the equally beautiful Hope Cove are both within about 7 miles, as is the highly regarded Golf Club at Thurlestone, which is one of the most beautiful courses in the South West of England.

For the sailing enthusiast, the Kingsbridge and Salcombe Estuary serve as an ideal base from which to explore the many tidal creeks and hidden coves that the South Hams have to offer. There are numerous tidal moorings on the estuary as well as first class marinas at Plymouth to the West, or Dartmouth and Kingswear to the east.

Salcombe at the mouth of the estuary, about 7.5 miles by road, or 3 miles on the water, is flanked by beautiful rolling countryside leading down to golden sandy beaches, and has long been renowned as one of the most sought after addresses on Devon's south coast.
