Enjoying the most exceptional position overlooking the estuary near Kingsbridge, Anchor Boathouse unfolds as a light-filled coastal hideaway, where wide-reaching estuary views and the gentle rhythm of the tide shape each day. From sunrise to dusk, the ever-changing waters and surrounding patchwork of countryside provide a captivating backdrop, best enjoyed from the generous patio where deep, comfortable sofas invite long, lingering afternoons and a barbecue stands ready for slow, sizzling suppers as the sun dips low. Private steps directly down to the waters edge, encourage paddleboarding, kayaking and boating fun with friends and family.

Inside, the interiors are bright and airy, with floor to ceiling windows framing the panoramic views of the water and beyond.
