Overbecks Museum Museums
Elegant Edwardian house with diverse collections and luxuriant garden.
The scientist Otto Overbeck lived here from 1928 to 1937 and the Museum containing his collections of curios and nautical artefacts has an intimate atmosphere. Some of Overbeck's inventions are on show, including the intriguing 'rejuvenator' machine.
The house is set in 7 acres of beautiful exotic gardens with spectacular views over the Salcombe estuary. It enjoys a sheltered microclimate and so is home to many rare plants.
