A lovely conversion of two old stone, cow barns, Farthingfield is in a stunning position overlooking the creek in the quiet and picturesque village of South Pool. Children love it here. They have an acre of gardens to run around in, complete with play frame. In the village they can paddle about in the creek with its resident ducks, or walk to the pontoon to catch crabs when the tide comes in. The patio area features a huge slate table next to a stone-built barbecue.
South Pool has a wonderful pub which serves fine food, just a couple of hundred metres from the house. For sailors, dinghies can be launched from the slipway.
The position on the east side of the Salcombe estuary could not be better . A short drive takes you to numerous glorious sandy beaches including Mill Bay, Sunny Cove and Lannacombe, all on the South West coastal path. Salcombe can be accessed by foot ferry from East Portlemouth and the lovely towns of Dartmouth and Kingsbridge are within a few miles.
