Property code: OC-BC42AB

A tastefully remodelled property with a lush, enclosed lawn and blissful rooftop views across the harbour of Dartmouth. This secluded oasis is a wonderful retreat for young families or couples adventuring along the South Devon Coast with a furry pal. Test your balance as you glide along the rippling River Dart on a SUP session from the waterfront Paddle Shack (600 metres), before popping a chilled bottle of fizz and scoffing nibbles on the glass-fronted terrace.

This striking home expertly blends contemporary design with traditional English elegance. Picture oversized glass doors, airy open-plan living, soft pastel tones, and timeless bay windows. Step into the bright sitting room and peruse the bookshelf or sink onto the sofas with a brew. Venture into the sociable lounge/kitchen/diner and slide open the magnificent glass bifold doors to embrace breezy indoor-outdoor living. Assist the resident chef in rustling up an indulgent dinner in the country kitchen then shake up a selection of pre-dinner drinks on the glossy wooden worktops. Feast around the wooden dining table or step outside for a balmy al fresco supper on the patio. After dinner, stretch out of the corner sofa with something sweet while the little ones play on the lawn. In cooler months, slink away to the snug and bask in the glow of the crackling wood burner. Retire upstairs to find two bedrooms, consisting of a tranquil double and an en-suite twin. Outdoors, enjoy garden games on the grassy lawn, or recline on the hidden rooftop terrace.

Board the charming passenger ferry to Kingswear (1 mile) and amble along the glistening waterfront then settle in for a pub lunch at the hound-friendly inn. Venture through the countryside aboard the Dartmouth Steam Railway (500 metres) or saunter along the emerald cliff-backed shoreline of Blackpool Sands (3 miles). 

In the months of May through to November why not attend one of the many local events and festivals in the area like the Dartmouth Music Festival, Dartmouth Royal Regatta, Dartmouth Food Festival, Torbay Air Show, Brixham Pirate Festival, Devon County Show.

Great location close to town. The kitchen and balcony areas especially pleasant. Some great views. If you aren't used to hills the parking arrangement can prove challenging.

We had a great week at the cottage. So many good pubs and restaurants in walking distance and so many places to visit. The cottage was very clean, very spacious and well equipped. The allocated parking space was a bonus. I ended up leaving the car there and just doing walks or using ferries.

The cottage was lovely in a great location it was great to have a garden for the dog and the balcony was an added extra just wonderful views . However the bedding and covers on the sofa had a few marks and the matresse in the main bedroom could do with a clean or a new one

A great location on the edge of town and within a few minutes of the boat float. Spacious accommodation and especially enjoyed sitting on the terrace overlooking the dart and boats at anchor,
