About this property

… above the village road in Downderry, with fabulous sea views from most windows, a solidly built, Victorian, mid-terrace former captain’s house. From the road, 6 steps up to paved sun terrace (table/chairs) and verandah. 

Inside, generously proportioned and renovated in traditional style with polished wood floors and muted colours: all very welcoming. The house is taller than it is wide and spread over four floors, with the living room on the third floor to take full advantage of the tremendous sea views. Hall, off which dining room (piano) with French windows to verandah and terrace. Hand-built kitchen (microwavefridge-freezer, range-style cooker); scullery/utility room (dishwasherwashing machine, second fridge) with shower-room (suite) and plenty of space for sandy buckets, wetsuits and boots. 

Stairs up to three bedrooms – a double (5’ bed), a twin, and a room with 3’ bunks; bathroom (suite with separate shower). 

Further stairs up to large living room with open fire, TV/DVD and views. Snug with second TV/DVD and stairs to the third floor, and a large double bedroom (6’ bed) under the eaves with the best views of all from a dormer window and en suite shower-room (suite). 

Arrival after 4pm. A grand base for coastal living, from days in the sun to storm-watching in the winter

    "Love your easy to use site, the cottages are amazing. The captains house was wonderful, it suited our needs perfectly and is particularly good for two families sharing. The property is just as discribed and had everything we needed. They even provided hot drink facilities, including tea and coffee in the bedroom at the top of the house. Small touches make a difference and they were all there at this stunning property. Thank you for another successful holiday."

    "Downderry is a great base from which to explore the local coastline; and it has three great places to eat, each different, but each brilliant. We have stayed at the Captain's House before, and were very pleased to be back!"
