Inside retro 'time warp' Devon home up for grabs

The 1970s is currently enjoying a comeback. Although in some cases, it seems it never really went away. This four-bedroom Salcombe property was originally built in the seventies and still bears many of the hallmarks of the decade.

Think: green patterned wallpaper, apricot tiles, bidets and bathroom carpet. The property is described as being ‘ready for modernisation’ – although retro fans might disagree. Despite the fringed rugs and floral curtains, one thing that has moved on from the 1970s, is the price tag.

The home, which has been with the same owners for almost 40 years, is on the market for offers over GBP1million. However, it provides a rare opportunity to bag a ‘bargain’ in Devon’s most sought after (read: least affordable) destination. Located on Devon Road, The Old Orchard enjoys a generous, corner plot, with delightful estuary views.

The detached property has been well looked after and includes a large sitting room with an adjacent library area, a kitchen-dining room, a utility room and a cloakroom. Upstairs, the main bedroom boasts both estuary and Batson views and has its own en-suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms and a separate family bathroom.

Outside, mature gardens surround the house giving it privacy and seclusion. There’s also scope to extend (subject to planning permission). The property is on the market with Luscombe May, who say: “The house will make a charming permanent home or holiday home for its new owner.”
