The Store Overview
Hidden in the gentle folds of the South Devon countryside, yet just a walk from the sea, The Store is a newly refurbished barn that offers the best of both worlds - coastal adventure and rural calm. Set along a quiet country lane near Soar Mill Cove, it’s a place where days are shaped by birdsong, big skies and the rhythm of the tide.
From the door, footpaths lead you through rolling farmland and down towards the turquoise waters of Soar Mill Cove. The walk itself is part of the pleasure, a scenic stretch of the South West Coast Path revealing wide horizons and salty air. Spend afternoons on the beach with a picnic, explore hidden coves, or pull on your trainers and follow the coastline towards Hope Cove for a well-earned cream tea overlooking the sea (just remember to put the cream on first!). For those keen to venture further, Salcombe’s boutiques, boat trips and waterside restaurants are just a short drive away.
Inside, The Store is a masterclass in understated design. Newly renovated, the barn blends clean architectural lines with soft, layered interiors that feel both contemporary and welcoming. The open-plan living space forms the heart of the home, a light-filled setting for slow breakfasts, relaxed suppers and evenings spent gathered around the table. The kitchen is beautifully appointed and thoughtfully equipped, making cooking together a pleasure rather than a chore. A sofa and easy chairs make the perfect space to kick back and watch a movie together when you just want to relax.
The bedrooms are calm and restorative, styled in a soothing palette that mirrors the surrounding landscape. Crisp linens, tactile fabrics and carefully chosen details create a sense of quiet luxury, while modern bathrooms and rainfall showers add a polished finish to this considered retreat.
Outside, a sunny terrace invites long, unhurried mornings with coffee and evenings sipping wine under open skies. A further private terrace to the rear offers a dining area with barbecue, perfect for those breakfasts or suppers in the sunshine. With woofers welcome too, four-legged companions can enjoy the surrounding walks just as much as their humans.
The Store is a private haven, peaceful, polished and perfectly positioned, offering a restorative escape where countryside and coast come together in effortless harmony.
