Location
Salcombe is an extremely affluent and popular coastal town in the South Hams district of Devon, south west England. The town lies on the banks of the Salcombe Estuary and it widely regarded as one of the prettiest towns in South Devon and one of the UK’s most desirable waterside destinations.
The town is accessed via the A381, which in turn links with the A38, providing connectivity to Plymouth and Cornwall in the west and the M5 at Junction 31 at Exeter in the east.
Island Place is a unique high end development benefiting from a prime and prominent position in relation to the town centre and waterfront.
Situated on Gould Road on the north west side of the town centre, the property benefits from heavy pedestrian flow by virtue of immediate proximity to the town’s only short stay and long stay parking provisions; Shadycombe Car Park directly opposite and The Creek Car Park immediately adjacent.
The town has a distinct lack of national multiple food retailers and as a consequence the newly provided store will prove popular to tourists and residents alike, benefitting from a monopoly on the current provision.

Virtually every property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range or no more than 10% above a single figure Guide.

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
