The subject of a comprehensive renovation by the architect owners, this fantastically bright modern house occupies a central position in the market town of Kingsbridge at the top of the Salcombe estuary in south Devon. An easy flow of open-plan living spaces spans around 2,620 sq ft over three storeys, pairing the original bones of the building with a palette of modern materials. Upper and lower walled courtyards mean there is plenty of secluded outside space, and the location is excellent for easy access to South Devon’s finest stretches of coastline, with Bantham and South Milton Sands just a 10-minute drive away.
