Set just under a mile above Dartmouth’s lively harbour, this beautifully updated single-storey retreat is a wonderful coastal bolthole for couples travelling with their faithful friend. Stylish yet welcoming, it places you within easy reach of one of South Devon’s most treasured towns.
Arrive via the driveway and follow softly lit steps up to the property, entering at the rear into a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. The kitchen is thoughtfully arranged with generous worktops and an extra sink area. The living area centres around an electric fireplace, with a Smart TV, comfortable sofas and plush armchairs creating a cosy setting to unwind with the hound at your feet. An oak dining table provides a lovely gathering point for supper and holiday plans. Along the hallway, you’ll find a single bedroom, and just beyond a snug tucked down a step. The family shower room has a roomy walk-in shower, with an additional cloakroom next door for added convenience. Completing the accommodation are two further bedrooms: a king-size room overlooking the garden, and a double with a vanity area and far-reaching views across the river and rolling valley hills. Outside, a paved and enclosed terrace offers seating for everyone – a sunny spot for morning coffee before walkies. Beyond lies a large lawned garden dotted with mature apple trees, giving your tail-wagger plenty of room to roam. A rear gate provides direct access to the nearby bus stop with regular services into town, and private parking for three cars makes arrivals easy.
History lovers can wander to Dartmouth Castle (1.5 miles), while keen walkers – both two- and four-legged – can join the South West Coast Path for dramatic clifftop vistas and miles of invigorating trails. For a nostalgic outing, cross to Kingswear and board the Dartmouth Steam Railway towards Paignton, or take to the water on a classic paddle steamer – well-behaved hounds welcome on both. Between May and November, the town buzzes with events including the Dartmouth Music Festival, Shakespeare Week, the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta and the Dartmouth Food Festival.
