Property code: OC-BC4204

This beautiful traditional riverfront property is about 500 metres from Dartmouth town centre where you can enjoy the eclectic mix of galleries, restaurants and shops or walk just over 0.5 miles in the opposite direction to Dartmouth Castle to have a Devon cream tea. This holiday home on four levels benefits from a conservatory and a beautiful terrace overlooking the River Dart.

Climb the 20-25 steps to the lift and then down a flight of stairs to the porch where you can hang your coat. To the right of the porch entrance, you will find a shower room with a convenient ground-floor WC. The kitchen is a large room with a table that seats up to eight people and leading on from the kitchen through bi-folding doors is a conservatory with a pool table. The living room is located at the front of the property, which means you get a great view through the full glass frontage whilst sipping your morning coffee. There is a plush three-piece suite to settle down on in front of the Smart TV, as well as a selection of books and board games to keep you all entertained. The first floor has two bedrooms: a master en-suite double bedroom that has a TV and views out to the mouth of the river, and a twin with a TV. On the second floor, there are a further two bedrooms: a double with a TV, and a twin with a TV and an en-suite shower cubicle. The third floor houses another bathroom. Outside, at the front of the property right next to the River Dart, is the beautiful terrace. Enjoy cracking panoramic views of the river whilst socialising with the whole family on a perfect sunny day!

Dartmouth has a wealth of things for everyone. The quay is popular for crabbing and passenger and car ferries crisscross the river to Kingswear for easy access to Torbay (11 miles) and Paignton Zoological Conservation Park (8 miles). With the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on your doorstep, you’ll be spoiled for choice with walks, cycling, water sports and the pleasures of the River Dart all on offer. Visit Greenway (6 miles), the former holiday home of the crime writer, Agatha Christie, now owned by the National Trust. There are plenty of historic houses, gardens and castles to explore, and if you’re hungry for more culture, there are ample galleries and museums. And if you just need to relax and do nothing, head a little further afield to Sugary Cove Beach which is just 2 miles away.

This property is all about the views, they are amazing from the living room, master bedroom and terrace area. The whole property needs modernising and a deep clean. On arrival the property had not been cleaned properly so we called the cleaner and she returned the next day to clean the areas we were particularly unhappy with. The rooms are of a goRead moreod size but are dominated by large dated furniture, a lot of which could be removed. There is a freestanding shower in one of the twin bedrooms that is not attached to the wall and is unsafe. There is a 'cave' in the conservatory off the kitchen which is damp and dark and whilst is an interesting feature, needs to be added to the property description. It made all of the rooms on that floor smell of damp and our youngest child was scared of it and we had to keep the doors closed and buy air fresheners. Hide

We visited for a week from Saturday 13th July 2024. Fantastic location. Great to have an allocated parking space. Amazing views of the estuary. The lift down to the ground floor is necessary to bring our bags down, although you can walk down the steps. Then a further set of steps down to the property. The house was generally clean overall, just Read morea few issues that were fed back. James the handyman made us aware of an non urgent electrical issue which the electrian came to fix a couple of days later. While James was on site, we reported another issue which he promptly resolved. Really nice man, very friendly. We would definitely look at returning next year. Hide
