The Old Wash House

About this property

The Old Wash House, winner of the Visit England ROSE Award, is a delightfully presented and renovated Grade II listed, Georgian, mid-terrace property in historic Dartmouth.

Retaining many original character features, including sash cord windows, period fireplaces and the remains of the original wash house within its enclosed courtyard, this is a fascinating holiday home in a truly beautiful and convenient location. This popular ‘home from home’ is in the Ford area of Dartmouth near the bowling green, being just off Victoria Road and a 5 minute level walk past the Old Market and Foss Street into the town and its array of boutiques, galleries, restaurants and tea rooms, as well as the picturesque River Dart.

Blackpool Sands beach is just a 5 - 10 minute drive away whilst Woodlands Theme Park is just three miles outside of Dartmouth, making this an ideal retreat for families looking to explore the Start Bay coastline and local attractions.

Two steps lead down from the driveway into the paved courtyard and entrance into the kitchen/dining area at the side/rear. A front door, down two steps from the front gate, leads into an entrance porch with a further door into the lovely accommodation.

The light and airy property is finished to a very high standard and has off-road parking for one family sized car and offers an EV charging point.

The attractive sitting room is comfortably furnished with a log burner effect gas fire, whilst the kitchen/dining area is beautifully equipped with built in appliances and a thoughtful range of glassware, crockery and utensils.

There is also a fabulous ‘dog house’, a designated home for your dog to enjoy, plus a utility cupboard and dining area.

With three bedrooms including one en-suite bathroom plus a family bathroom, it is very well equipped for a family. There is also a stair gate, high chair and travel cot supplied.

Outside the property is a sunny paved terrace within the enclosed, walled courtyard, with seating.

There is also off-road parking for one car.

Whether you are travelling with family or friends, this fabulous holiday home is perfect for up to five people and two dogs, looking for well-located, high quality Dartmouth accommodation.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.
